Tomb Raider 3

[demiscythe]

Hi guys, started playing my emulator again and i was playing TR3 but it randomly speeds up for like 10 mins and then it starts to go ack to normal.. which is all well and good except when you go to make a jump and cant press the button fast enough...anyway im running vista and i have a 2ghz dual core and yes i have set its affinity to CPU 0

so if anyone could link me their options that wouold be fantastic

cpu affinity should be set to 1. anyway post your video plugin settings.

there ya go using petes opengl 1.73

[jonc2006]

1.73? you might want to use 1.76 which is the most recent version, you can get that here. before i jump into setting suggestions, can you also tell me what video card you have on your system, what game fixes you have enabled in that setup you posted, and if you are playing the game from an image. if you are playing from an image can you tell me what format you made it in?

in addition to all that, i take it by "aust" as your location you mean australia or austria, which either way would mean you must be using a PAL version, so your FPS limit needs to be set to 50, not 53.

ok well, yes i am australian, im running it from a MDF image and im currently using a geforce 8400 Go *laptop*and also ill swap to the 1.76 asap

ok in that case these are the settings i used for petes d3d plugin but they work just as well in the OGL1 plugin-
