<div class="IPBDescription">so j00 can jp teh hive</div> ok my comp is gettin old ... it has a geforce2 wit 64mb vid ... still pretty good
ok so when i use openGL and use my keyboard to change the volume my vid card dont like openGL and onscreen key effects (volume bar) at the same time ... soooooo i get the bsod
so i was stuck with d3d and i topped out at 18fps if my ping was under 90 ...
recently i got a headset with volume control so i dont need to change volume with my keyboard and i can use openGL instead of d3d and if theres no uber-huge turret farm i am pretty much locked at 60fps

well thats enough blabbering on my part .. if anyone has any tips for rasing fps or anyone has a low fps ... do you really need me for this?

    Since the frames per second advantage is being removed in v2 (i think) you only need to increase performance to an acceptable level (not 250fps, that's just cheating). OpenGL is best, you can tweak your advanced settings to get a little bit faster but not much.

    How about going to the TECH FORUM, and read ROOB'S FPS SYNC GUIDE, or the other WEBBED FPS GUIDE...

    Just a SUGGESTION

    srry... but there IS such a thing as a tech forum you know, life goes beyond the off-topic!

    Don't worry about your FPS. If you've got 60ish, which is what I'm at usually, it's fine. JP thrust is good but not too overpowered, build speed is fine, everything works. And none of it really matters in 2.0 anyway.

    Word to 8-bit theatre (avatar).

    I currently have a theory. Maybe our world (the off topic) is really an illusion where the reality is that there are more topics out there? We are just one of the many topics in this socity I like to call a "Matrix" and will wake up and realize that we are governed by people who created what I like to call "boards". If you really want advancement then what if there was MORE than just one board?!

    Crazy huh?

    Hmm. As noted above, check out r00b's vsync guide if you're having problems keeping NS *playable*. As noted, the FPS-dependance on building and JP fuel regen/thrust is going away in v2.0, but while it's still here, it is an unintended portion of the game to crank your framerate specifically to jetbo and so on.


    Don't think anything more really needs to be said about this, so...
