ok thx

Har testat med 3 olika ljudkort, glömde visst skriva det.

...eller inte eftersom den funkar perfekt i alla andra spel. Samt i olika 3d benchmarks och i alla andra testprogram jag kört.

Har slängt in denna post:en på ett par olika ställen och tänkte att det va lika bra att höra här också.

Skriven på engelska, men ni är väll utbildade antar jag

Här är problemet.

--------------------------------------------------

I worked countless hours to try and solve this issue but nothing works.
This is a long post, sorry about that but atleast i can share what i know and what i've done to try and fix it.

Problem: FPS dropping to around 20-40 FPS in big crowded areas,
nowhere else.
The FPS drops only happens when there are 4+ players in the same area.

I doubt its the map itself that makes my FPS drop since i can run around on my own server with no FPS drops what so ever.
As for Singleplayer i have all the graphic settings maxed and not so much as one FPS drop.
On all other new games i've tried i can max all graphic settings and get excellent FPS.

I've read the UpsetChaps guide about ten times by now(http://ucguides.savagehelp.com/Quake4/Quake4Guide.htm).
I've done one every single connection, framerate and visual tweak.
I've tried ALL the different CFG:s and done some tweaking on my own aswell. Also tried the AMD Dual Core updates/fixes and offcourse used the
r_useSMP command along with every single Quake 4
console command that can improve your FPS.
Well basically i've done everything you can get off that site.

I've also tried changing alot of settings with Q2MAX to improve FPS,
and i've tried benchmarking at places where i know my FPS drops to see if i can get improvments. No luck.
I've used the NetTimeDemo id_demo001.netdemo to see what FPS improvments i can get with new graphic settings, tweaks, drivers and CFG:s. Got it up to 84FPS.
But still dropping to around 50FPS in some fights on that demo.

So, conclusion. My FPS has improved a bit in some areas but this is just added to areas where i already had way over 60FPS. It still drops to
20-40 FPS in big fights, making it impossible to play.

I know Radeon cards are not ideal for Quake 4 and games with the same engine but still, please 60FPS is that too much to ask for?
