easy question for an old quake2 freak like me

just open your console and enter the keyword "timerefresh". the player is going to do a 360° turn and then the fps on this position is written out

Clam

p.s.: a complete list of all keywords can be found here: (((http://www.quake.de/QUAKE2/console/q2consoleframe.html)))
but it is in german...

I wouldn't bother with timerefresh really... it aint that accurate, if you have a fast system, use the 'noclip' command, go up into the sky and timerefresh it'll get like 4000fps on a fast system :)

Best thing to do, to average out ur FPS, is do this at the console:

timedemo 1
map demo1.dm2

then it'll run

you can also try demo2.dm2, crusher.dm2 (good test back in the day) and massive1.dm2 but you might need to download those last 2 from somewhere. If you can't find them, email me and I'll send them for you and tell ya where they should go.
