Crap Fps In 3.0

Since 3.0 beta 2 I've had some really choppy and unstable framerate. Sometimes I'll be fine at 60fps and then all of a sudden I'm down to 26.1. It seems like being around res nozzles (even with a tower built ontop and no steam visible) makes my FPS drop, but it's not the only thing, it seems to happen randomly around maps.

I did not have this problem in any of the beta builds up to 3.0 beta 2, and do not have this problem in 2.01 on steam or won.

    ive got a similar (if not the same) problem,

    specs-


    -P4 2.4
    -512 DDR ram
    -GeForce4 mx440

    and the usual excessories, headphones, mic, hard drive, cup holder.

    in 2.01 i got a solid 60 fps constantly, the middle of battle? 50-60 fps.

    but now, in the latest build 3.0q vb2.

    when im looking at a (forget what there called, sprites?)

    resource plume, marine buildings, or map effects (lots of steam for example) my fps drops to 25-30, this might be a steam problem, but ns 2.01 for steam didnt do this.

    im wondering if anyone else is having problems like this? btw, im also having trouble with dropping cat-packs. but thats for another thread.

    Go into "options" and click the "advanced" button. Then try turning off "high detailed particle systems". See if that improves the situation.

    I have a GeForce 2 MX 400. I get 100fps, 50-60 on average. It does not necessarily have to do with your soundcard.

    first off, im not getting a new video card until HL2 comes out, so i shouldnt have to start saving for a while. and second, thank you psuedo knight, thats prolly it.. (im going to miss those high-detailed bits of steam)


    *thinks to self* maybe this will fix my kill-death ratio......
