PhOeNiX3

well the other day my comp died... and i had a system restart done on it
b4 then HL and all its mods were working fine, nice stedy fps....

in NS b4 i had about 40 in begging game and about 20 end game which were stedy and good... now, after this restart i have 20 fps wen running about but wen i see a rine it drops to 5!! i can notice a serious drop in prefromace.. same with other mods just on a diff scale (CS start with about 70 ... goes to 30-40 in firefights but again a drop in preformance)

ive updated my grafix drivers, reistalled NS, reinstalled HL, put in all the commands i had b4 ect. ect.

my specs are PIII 700mhz, 384ram, geforce 4 mx 440

any help would be very greatful with any help any1 could give!!

make sure you are not forcing 32 bit color. check you are running opengl not d3d. 32 bit color especially can cause serious slow down of some video cards. other than that there is a thread about tweaking hl some where but i am feeling to lazy to find it it used to be webbed som where i cant remmber where right now though.

ok, define 'died' and "system restart"

also look at the specs for your card, make sure it is in AGP mode (I was running that prob for some time)
