I have the same problem...
It just doesn't matter that much wheter I do high or lower quality. fps doesnt seem to be effected by it much.

Also I do 640x480 lowest of the lowest detail possible for very high fps. But the game still hitches a bit... its really iritating!

Optimization is far perfect... there are still many things that need to be fixed.

Q6600, 2GB ram, 8600gt (163.69), Vista home premium.

Same problem..low fps....no bloody solution.

Epic seems to be solving ONLY THE EASY PROBLEMS.

maybe, yout PC is just too slow? Months of optimization can't replace the speed of your machine, so Post your System Specifications here, please, i would have the same problem on my old "Oh, but Unreal Tournament was running great in 2000" Celeron333-RivaTNT2-64MB RAM-8GB HDD PC

EDIT: well, it was running oin either 640x480/32bits max char/tex detail or 800x600/16bits max chat/tex detail or 1024x768/16bits medium char/tex detail^^

Pls, does anyone know how to change a RefreshRate in UT3 beta demo?

I use a CRT and the game sets refresh to 85Hz at 1280 and to 75Hz at 1600x1200 and it's not possible to change it. (I use 1600x1200@100Hz.. 21" EIZO)

Even utengine.ini and other .ini files lack the refreshrate settings (as it was in UT2004....DesiredRefreshRate).

I use windows Vista and X1900XT, where you can't force refreshrate via drivers.

THX 4 help.

need help :///

Hi,

I tried to tweak my .ini a bit but it doesnt work, also it doesnt work in the game. The only thing I'm able to change with success is the resolution. But with every new start of the game, everything is reset, also the resolution.

My .ini files are not write-protected. I really need help because right now I can't enjoy the demo.

My System :
AMD Athlon 2500+
1,5GB DDR Ram
OS: WinXp SP2

Display
GeForce 6800GT @ Ultra clock (Driver Version 163.71)
Display Resolution in-game 800x600 (1024x768 on desktop)

About now I have around 30-40fps on 800x600 which is fairly good for my system, but the whole game looks extremely blurry.Also a problem is that when I change the screen percantage to 100% I get a huge fps drop to the point where the game can't be played anymore (around 5 to max 10fps). I'm adding a picture how it looks right now and I hope you guys can help me fix this problem.



thank you

Dude...seriously, I ain't dumb. I got a 1.7 GB Ram with a x1950 PRO AGP 512 MB VRAM and a dual core 3.00GHZ processor. That good enough? Well, seems like that delivers 10-20 fps. Hope you fit that into your skull.

If I were you I'd change my res to 640 * 480, whack down the world detail and texture resolution to 1 too, you should find it looks a helluva llot better and you should have better frame rates.

[wceend]

i can`t seem to find my launchlog...UTEngine.ini either..

Well, yhea if I could do that I would have better framerates, but as I said, the game doesn't apply the changes I make. After I restart the game, every setting I made is reset. The game always starts wirh 640x480 res even when I changed it to 800x600 last time I played.

If the game would apply the settings I wouldn't have those problems.

Or is it normal that everything is reset when you start the demo ?

I had the same error it means atleast im guessing you have a radeon card and you are using the new drivers. The new drivers do not support Direct 3d. so go to version 7.4 which is what im on and it will work!!!

[xPreatorianx]

the problem was that i got the Direct 3d error something about the source code. it was a d3derr_invalidcall error. and going to old drivers solved it!

What was your problem. Was the game crashing a at the start or a few seconds into a match?

[Cannonade]

I've just downloaded the demo.

I've been reading through the forums and lots of people have been having the same problem.

I launch the game, all the videos play but as soon as the Intel Processor video finishes, I get a black screen and it crashes with a blue screen.
It seems to be caused by nv4_disp and the error is a 0x000000EA and the message says the drivers got caught in an infinite loop.

black screens hangs in an old computer

my specs are :
Pentium 4 , 2.0ghz
Sapphire ATI Radeon 9600 pro with 256MB
768MB system memory in 200mhz DDR


anyways, when i had the old drivers of ATI (7.9) there was black screen hangs every one minute or so. i start to play, play about one to two minutes, then the screen suddenly goes black. after about one minute the display returns to normal and i keep playing, then it happens again, and again, and again.. after 5 times like that the game just stopped responding and i was forced to shut it down through the task manager. it doesnt matter if its high or low settings, it behaves the same way.
with the new drivers of ATI (7.10) i got a black screen just few moments after i started playing, and the screen kept changing resolution, and after 20 seconds of changing resolutions.. the screen just received no input, and i was forced to restart the computer.
