Chopiness in LOD

Puero · December 24th, 2001

Sup everyone i have some problems with LOD i can play it but the game is kinda choppy and so is the sound. How do i fix this??

What are your PC specs and what plugins are you using?

Puero · December 25th, 2001

umm well it's a pretty ghetto comp i have sumthin that's about the same speed as a normal pentium 2 64mgb of ram and a bunch of no name stuff
i'm using
Video - Pete's Soft Driver 1.54
Sound - Eternal SPU Plugin1.10
CD Rom - Pete's CDR ASPI/IOCTL Driver 1.7
BIO - 7502

change SPU from eternal to Pete's then put it into fast mode

Puero · December 26th, 2001

I tried that and it didn't work
but what do u mean by fast mode??

Soylvak · December 27th, 2001

If you don't know yur comp stuff,i bet it's pretty crappy. Get more ram too...I have 256 mg.

Puero · December 30th, 2001

My friend says i shouldn't need n e more ram because it worked perfectly well on his comp when he had 64 mg

and what do u mean by fast mode??

Puero: It's an option in the DSound plugin (in the "Misc" box). You can choose high compatibility mode or fast mode.

Soylvak · December 30th, 2001

use opengl instead of soft driver.

JAZ · December 30th, 2001

If hes got a crappy old comp then soft is the best for him , opengl is going to be loads slower

Soylvak · December 30th, 2001

maybe so but there is more choppiness with soft and lod so that may explain it...or his comp is just crap.

Puero · December 31st, 2001

thanx a lot you guys make me feel so good
dissin my comp and all

opengl isn't supported by most of decent computer (i'm not dissing it, relax).
I suggest to try the pete's d3d plugin (set the "fast" settings here too) or even kazzuya soft gpu (this one's fast)
in order to test if your computer can really run games at full speed (50 fps for pal ones / 60 fps for ntsc).
during gameplay, press the "delete" button on your keyboard and you should see a number, showing the FPS.

Yup,you totally ****ed up here guys,that's not a way to behave.
