Scirious Posted February 6, 2006 Report Share Posted February 6, 2006 Have anyone ever managed to run Unreal Tournament 99 in Mandriva? I use to run it without problems in Ubuntu and SUSE. However, in Mandriva I can see frame by frame. I don't know what I need to setup or install. For instance, glxgears give-me the following results: 1193 frames in 5.0 seconds = 238.539 FPS 1456 frames in 5.0 seconds = 291.141 FPS 1448 frames in 5.0 seconds = 289.562 FPS 1446 frames in 5.0 seconds = 289.012 FPS 1446 frames in 5.0 seconds = 289.144 FPS 1450 frames in 5.0 seconds = 289.752 FPS 1455 frames in 5.0 seconds = 290.996 FPS 1454 frames in 5.0 seconds = 290.657 FPS 1459 frames in 5.0 seconds = 291.726 FPS 1457 frames in 5.0 seconds = 291.317 FPS 1426 frames in 5.0 seconds = 285.147 FPS 1455 frames in 5.0 seconds = 290.959 FPS 1460 frames in 5.0 seconds = 291.998 FPS 1465 frames in 5.0 seconds = 292.909 FPS 1468 frames in 5.0 seconds = 293.497 FPS 1460 frames in 5.0 seconds = 291.849 FPS 1479 frames in 5.0 seconds = 295.552 FPS My video card is: "NV18 GeForce4 MX440 AGP 8x" and I'm using the officail driver that I got from their website, since I could not use Xorg Oficial driver after instalation. Thanks for your support, Scirious. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dexter11 Posted February 6, 2006 Report Share Posted February 6, 2006 This is very poor for a GF4 so I think the driver wasn't properly installed. Look at glxinfo . If it displays mesa instead of nvidia like : OpenGL vendor string: Mesa project: www.mesa3d.orgOpenGL renderer string: Mesa GLX Indirect OpenGL version string: 1.2 (1.5 Mesa 6.4.1) then you should check the driver installation.

ianw1974 Posted February 6, 2006 Report Share Posted February 6, 2006 Post your /etc/X11/xorg.conf, as it might be configured incorrectly. If you type this: glxinfo | grep direct what's the result? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scarecrow Posted February 6, 2006 Report Share Posted February 6, 2006 This isn't a GeForce4, it's "just" a GeForce4MX, which is way less. I still have the same card (with 64 MB RAM) picking dust on a shelf, it was significantly slower than a GeForce2 Ti200 for the few weeks I tolerated it. But even an MX440 should fare a tad better than that if you follow the tips in /usr/share/doc/NVIDIA_GLX-1.0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scirious Posted February 7, 2006 Author Report Share Posted February 7, 2006 People, thanks for your support. It happened to be my instalation. I don' t know what I did wrong, but I just uninstaled it and reinstalled the deriver (and the new kernel that was required) and the game worked. The only difference was that, after the first install, I updated my system. However, I have one more question. When I connect to a server near me, my ping is around 50, when it normally was 15-30 on other distros. I have already disabled firewall (at least I belive so), so what else should I chack? Thanks, Scirious. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tyme Posted February 9, 2006 Report Share Posted February 9, 2006 the distro shouldn't have an effect on your ping time. it's likely just a normal fluctuation. does 50ms really harm your gameplay? I wouldn't think it would, I know 100ms is barely noticable in most cases. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
