BattleField 1942

has anyone gotten this game to run smooth?

 

[rb26dett]

yep ...I get at maxed out settings I get between 70-85fps.

 

[MajinSSJVegetto]

Max graphical settings at 1280X900 or something like that and I get about 60+ fps average. Along with my college's ethernet I normally play in 30 player games completly smoothly without any hiccups or lag or anything.

 

[ToiletDuck]

I was hoping that it wasn't me. I have a geforce2 ultra but I figured that would be enough..... Well my 9700pro should be in tomorrow so I guess we will have to see.

How do you display frame rates in the game??

I also have it running smooth, but was thinking of setting the texture detail to 100% and need to see how many frames I'll lose (or if I have any to spare).

 

[X2sandman]

give me some tips on how to have it run smooth, i get jumpyness sometimes and don't think my comp is lacking since its at 1.8 with a gf4

 

[pby5cat]

make shure the hardware sound acceleration box is checked on the second page of the sound optons. That made a big diff. for me with my GF2. from like 20 to 65.

how do you display the fps? or do i have to use farps ?

With that new video card you should have NOTHING to worry about.

Turn off any ram optimizing programs you have running. I was getting 5 second lags every 5 or 6 mins with it on, I was going nuts trying to find the problem. I finally tried shutting off RamIdlePro and it has been great since. Just a suggestion to try.

I'm trying to run this game on a Radeon 8500 128MB (not LE) and the thing just quits to the desktop most of the time. Any ideas on this? I posted another thread about this, but since this is the thread about the game, perhaps you will know more. Also, I turned off the other monitor, thinking it was using up video RAM, but haven't tried it. Lastly, I tried to turn on hardware accelerated sound and the check box would not let me check it. I've got built in Sound Blaster 128 on the 7DXR+, if that helps.

Thanks in advance

I run it at 1280x1024 and its silky smooth, except for when I play online....being 56k and all........

 

[Daemonfly]

I have it running just fine on the following systems.

Athlon 900
SB Live!
Abit Ka7
1G Ram

P4 1.6A at 2.13
onboard sound
Albatron mobo
512 Corsair DDR

There IS a new patch comming out very soon that will fix a lot of various problems.

It tells a console command to display your framerate in the Readme.

 

[tbirdkiri]

just for good measure, 512 of ram is a good place to start, cause this game is a complete ram hog.

 

[AC Slater]

Yeah this game is a huge resource hog. I have 512 of PC2100 and after exiting a game it takes a while to get my system resources back.

[sorry for the OT post ]

 

[Lusankya]

We are running full speed with full graphics.. of course its gonna use everything it can..

 

[Pinky]

It tells a console command to display your framerate in the Readme.

Thanks!

For the record:

hit "~" then type "console.showfps 1" to turn on framerates and "console.showfps 0" to turn them off... use F8 to toggle the menu screen that blocks the frame rate display.

I was averaging 60-70 fps with the setup in my sig below and everything video and sound related turned up to max (online play).

So smooth.
