Need help!

Hi almost every game iam trying to plays terrible Day of defeat(half life 1 mod) runs at 18fps Wolfenstien Enemy territory(quake 3 based) runs terrible are you guys tweaking something for better preformance, i know its the GMA 950 but i heard it can atleast run wolfenstein or even half life one!
thanks any advice would be apreciated

i have the WinXP verison with 1gb ram and 120gb harddrive. I dont understand how some guy in the other thread got 60 fps in CS 1.6 makes noooo sense

 

you have to turn the details down a bit in order for it to work properly.
you can turn down the resolution for it to work properly with high FPS.

 

i turned them allll down to the lowest

 

infact i found out software rendering is better than the intel intergrated card lol

 

remember to turn off any apps on the pc you are not using, definitely firewall, anti-virus, wireless networking, browsers, messenger, basically everything and if you want to go the whole hog you can make a gaming profile and turn off any background services that are not needed either, this way you will get the most out of the machine...

 

Ranjit, the AA1 runs Quake III just fine so anything based on that, like Wolfenstein, should run fine too - if not, it's probably a driver or settings issue. :geek: Since the settings aren't that complicated to turn down, I'd say in your case I'd look at the drivers.

 

i tried the drivers, no luck and as for stuff running the background i dont even have an AV installed lol, thiers nothing running what so ever. can anybody else here try wolfenstein or wolfenstein enemy territory to see if its just me?

 

Way to sandbag me

 

lol well i guess the only way i can play good games is stream them from my desktop lol, oh well i did get doom 3 streaming perfect, except 4 the rez

 

I never thought to do that

hell that's what a 360 is for, can't be assed playing newer games on a netbook

 

Hey Ranjit

I now have the following games running on my acer:

Aliens Vs Predator 2
Deus Ex
Freespace 2
MDK2
Project IGI
Quake 3
Return to Castle Wolfenstein
Revolt
Jedi Knight 2: Jedi Outcast

They're all oldies but goodies.
These are all running on full resolution (1024 x 600 where supported but 800 x 600 where not) with the settings cranked up to full. They're all running with 60+ fps.

I have precisely the same Acer configuration as you do (120 gig HD, 1gig memory) so you should be getting simlar performance. The link to the driver I downloaded is below:

http://downloadcenter.intel.com/filter_ ... bmit=Go%21

Try installing that and let me know how you get on?

 

Jedi Academy also works perfectly mate

 

Wierd Very Wierd it seems it can run Return to Castle Wolfenstien perfect but not Wolfenstien Enemy Territory and since thier pratically the same engine its rly wierd also it cant run halflife based games again very wierd since the graphics in half life are nothing compared to Wolfenstien, i have a feeling something is funky with the intel drivers

 

Half life 2: Deathmatch works OK here! :lol:
I get about 23fps at low details.
