What did I miss?

Post by UTNerd24 »

Hey guys. I've been away for a little bit, mainly because I burned out my Graphics card and had to get it replaced. But as you can tell, I've gotten my PC back and am ready to play UT again! However, I've been having to use EXU OpenGL due to Direct3D9 having inconsistent framerates. Prior to the burnout, the game was at a stable 60 even with "Framerate limit" set to 0. As a temporary fix, I've capped my framerate on Direct3D9 and gone back to EXU OpenGL in the meantime.
OpenGL is able to boast unlimited Draw Distances for things like G59, but Direct3D9 seems to be able to take much more of a beating from things like dynamic lighting and lots of decals. Even being able to stay in one piece after the Rainbow Nuclear Beamer 2008 on a custom map.

Is there an update to D3D9 that I don't know about or is my computer simply too new advanced? As absurd as it sounds, that is a thing. Good to be back btw.

I've been playing UT for so long it's practically tradition.

Have you checked out the new Monsterhunt Think that Higor and sektor was working on? Looks cool.

New version of ferbotz.

Nothing else that I can recall at the moment.

Welcome back by the way!

Well... we were all playing MonsterHunt and you missed a shot that would have killed the monster that instead slaughtered us all.

This will be a black mark on your record for years to come.

What did I miss?
Answer: The location of this post. Is this somehow a Tip, Trick or Tutorial ?
I thought that something is being new discovered and good to know for players... a driver hint setup or such.

Is that a separate SkaarjWarrior player model than the one Rocky made, or a Skaarj-monster than can use weapons?

Depends on what content you want to look at. There is plenty of maps still being made, over 500 last year. Skins, voice/sounds, models, etc. I'm not sure but those who mentioned Ferbotz and a new version of MH which Higor has been working on with other collaborator are good.

Other things to mention:
XC_Engine viewtopic.php?f=34&t=5624 might help about the framerate issue, it depends on how you could set it up. But it's good, you can get less crash in the game and so on.

Anddd there are the list of other user's ini you could try to see if it works for you, but you want to be careful and save your original ini for a backup copy.

And if you are a person who can make those sort of things, stay away from me, for Im not very good at taking no for an answer.
I know plenty. You'll find them. :loool:
