What is this caused by?

[gingo]

With my new Geforce4 Ti4200 I am playing the UT2003 demo (currentley the only game I have installed on my new system so far) and when I turn or move sometimes (quite often actually) the top part of the screen will move but the bottom part lags for a second then catches up. I get pretty good fps though, but this problem bugs me. It happens mainly when I turn side to side. What causes this? How can I fix it?

I'm thinking it may be a driver problem, but I'm not sure. I'm using the 30.82's.

specs:
AMD athlon xp 1600+ OC to 1.75ghz (fsb 166) 36 idle 45 load
Epox EP-8K5A2+
Geforce 4 Ti4200 with 30.82 drivers.
Seagate cuda IV 40gb 7200 rpm
Onboard sound
Antec 430watt True PSU
Win XP Home

Get the demo patch and try the 40.72 or 41.03 drivers.

I have the demo patch. I try out some different drivers.

 

[gingo]

any other suggestions?

When I get home I'll try some new drivers.

Hey i had a problem much like yours just it happened in MOHAA once i updated the drivers... no problem maybe it works for you to

Try enabling V-synch. Only problem is that your overall performance will decrease. But, with that card i really don't think you have anything to worry about.

Verticle-sync is currently enabled according to my opengl setting tab when I go to advanced options under the settings tab.

Unreal Tournament 2003 runs in Direct 3D mode, so check that Vsync in on there too...

I dont see anything in the D3D tab about V-sync.

I just tried the new 40.72 drivers and I still get the problem. Oh well, I can live with it.

Turn on V sync in the UT2K3 settings, the only way I know how to do it is to go into the UT2K3 demo folder, then the system folder and look for "default.ini". Open that up and look for the line UseVSync=False in the [D3DDrv.D3DRenderDevice] section and change it to UseVsync=True. Then do the same thing in the UT2003.ini file.
