Mr no 0 Posted February 24, 2002 ok i am no genius but i have done a bit of homework on otf first make sure you have all the updated drivers for the game drivers make sure you have no background programs running dowload this tool to see all the hidden programs go in to control panal\gaming\devices and un check poll interrupts as it use memory download this patch for direct x patch go here for a multiplayer info site info all so in your outlook mail box go tools/options/ and un click check for new mail every 30 mins as it can cause lag in multiplayer gaming go in to start/run/ and type atipquaa and click direct 3d games or change your frame rate i will post more info later but to need get back to the game i use these spec and have no problems amd 14mz ddr 256mb gforce 65mb           Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Morph 0 Posted February 25, 2002 I've tried tweaking my system to get greater performance in ofp but still get crappy framerates... My system: Pentium 3 700 with 512mb ram Creative Geforce 2 Pro 64mb ddr Directx 8.1 latest nvidia detonator drivers latest VIA 4 in 1 drivers turned off vsync and joystick support Running at 800x600 32bit colour with w-buffer OFF I have no programs running whatsoever, and yet its still quite bad.. I don't have any problems running other games such as Max Payne or MOHAA (Both I can run at full detail at 1024x768) Any more ideas? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
R. Gerschwarzenge 0 Posted February 25, 2002 What kind of framerates you consider as crap? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I think its because of your VIA chipset. Experience teaches that using an Intel cpu in combination with a VIA chipset is like trying to swim across a lake with a bunch of bricks in your pockets. I used an MSI motherboard with VIA Apollo chipset + VIA 4-in-1 drivers before, but everything ran very crappy and unstable, so I bought an ASUS with i815 intel chipset. SMoooooooooooth!!!!! no crashes at all anymore and game performance seems to be increased by a factor of two. My suggestion is to grab one of those high quality intel boards and throw the old VIA thing away those are only made for manufacturers that wanna sell pentium computers at low prices. But back everything up before you install a new board, becuz ull need a fresh clean win install... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Morph 0 Posted February 25, 2002 Fair enough answer..... BUT... I don't have any other problems with games (they all run very smoothly), and windows 2k on my machine hardly ever crashes... Its just OP Flashpoint in mp mode that causes the most problems for me..... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hmmm cant be that hard to calculate, because its no problem to play 1600x1200@32bit with an island full of troops killing of eachother in singleplayer Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Morph 0 Posted February 26, 2002 Come to think about it.. It is actually worse on MP missions.. Especially nighttime black ops missions, where I usually get about 2fps... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
