got FPS problems in ns... adn its NS only,

got a Nvidia FX 5200 128mb, RAM 512mb 2.2 Ghz , (yes i know it sucks but its still good)

as soon as i look at too muhc stuff i.e marine buildings etc. my fps goes from 85 to 50-60 , however , i can play other games like painkiller ut04 q3 with everything on max 800x600/1024x768 wiht locked 85/100 fps , i havent got the latest Nvidia drivers as they dont work with the older FX series, but i have the latest drivers that are 100% compatible with FX 5200/5600 - Im using 56.72 +Hyperion Drivers , i find this Very anonying my gameplay goes straight down, (yay sg vs. cele skulk with 50fps !! =/) anyone know waht the problem could be, note , without NS on the comp uses 198mb RAM,

ive also tweaked all graphics settings, AA AF . filtering etc. set to Off

Dx 9.0c

and i use winXP,

well?

    blame half-life for it.. or jjust don´t be supprised. the engine is from 1998 so it is very hard to tweak. there is in my knowledge to fix this. just accept the problem. some parts of the maps (cc in eclipse) and marine/alien structures cause the fps to drop. accept it and play on

    i get 20fps steady
    i play fine..

    A good way of stopping these drops is to max_fps something low for example 50.
    This way your FPS will NEVER drop and never rise, giving you very steady FPS. <!--emo&::nerdy::--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/nerd-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='nerd-fix.gif' /><!--endemo--> Now go kill those celel skulks

    Lol, i would be very happy with your pc and fps. (I myself got 5-35 fps!!!)
    As waller said, set fps_max to 50 to avoid the extreme changes.
    50 is more than enough for playing.

    Anything constant over 60 is great, cause if you get only 30 fps max, then well...its not very good idea to run into mass rine turret farms and OC/DC spam that can cause really low fps.. harder with 20-30 fps as it starts to feel choppy in the midst of battle.

    i bet it's the dynamic lighting thats dropping your fps, it drops mine to 4 whenever i look at antthing that has a dynamic light, ie phase gates, flashlights, certain areas on certain maps. this fps drop makes my game completly unplayable so ba happy that you're not trying to play the game at 4 FPS

    well, if its the lights it must be something between the hl engine and my gfx card, i can play many other games with perfect shadowing and dynamic light

    I noticed the fps drops, too...
    The odd thing is, when I pop up the console, the fps goes up to the max refresh rate, and drops back to 1/2 - 1/3 (like, from 99 to 30) when I close the console.

    Hey same here people, i need help... my FPS lately has been getting very low...

    i have noticed this only recently(since b5).I start off on the main screen with a FPS of 60, ingame it averages 20, fluctuating greatly in fights going down to 12 fps in fights, even getting unplayable.
    it seems to right itself if i bring up the console...
    im running NS at 1240x768 at 16bit colors, i think these FPS are atrocious for a computer with the following specs:

    Geforce fx 5600 128mb creative
    256MB Ram
    intel celeron 2.20ghz
    direct x 9.0c
    Latest NVidia drivers from the net 61.77 i think
    Windows XP service pack 2

    i have enterd in the console : developer 1 , max_fps 100

    iand ive got a 512/256 broadband connection

    having SP2 is bad enough =P , try go down to 1024, then turn of Vsync and/or AA AF
