Should I have video issues with this setup:?

Recommended Posts

I really tried to find the answer by scanning past posts, but nothing seems to fit my circumstances...

This is my config:

P4 2.53 Ghz CPU (no hyper threading)

1 GB Dual Channel DDR

Asus Motherboard

ATI 9800 video card

OFP GOTY with 1.96 patch

When I run the OFP Preferences program, I choose Autodetect and stay with those settings. I have "-nosplash -nomap" (I have no idea what nomap does) in the shortcut.

But when I try to play the game, the video (and game itself) seems to stutter and pause for a second or two fairly often, in cutscenes and in actual play.

Go into options, put the terrain detail to low or very low, and reduce the view distance.

Also Nomap is a handy thing for getting round the addon limit.

Yep, terrain set to low. Also by default texture resolutions are maxed out (behiond what they can be set even), try to scale down. One thing that kills performance for me is object shadows, try to turn these off and tell us how it goes smile_o.gif .

You're right, the autodetect maxed the terrain out. I set the terrain to normal, but increased the frame rate (not sure if this is correct, as I understand it, higher frame rate = better detail?). Just lowering the terrain detail seems to have fixed the problem.

It's odd, because my current machine, especially the video card, is SO much more powerful than the machine I had when the game came out.

I would have expected that it should run fine maxed out...

Thanks for the help!

OFP is very easy on your graphics card but gives your CPU a real work out.

I use a 9600xt and have found that playing with 1600x1200 has almost no impact on frame rate when compared to say 1024x768. This is good, a higher resolution is very practical in OFP.

For best image quality you should set the FPS slider to the lowest number because otherwise it will start downgrading the graphics to try to achieve the framerate you request which means you get nasty LODs and popup.
