Yesterday I had my first few games of Quakeworld (and I'm CRAP). I honestly don't know what people are complaining about when it comes to speed. I find a ping of 200 is fine! Anyway, I noticed Quakeworld's graphics, sound and input run a lot smoother than standard Quake, due to the DirectX support. Is there any kind of patch to make Quake support DirectX? What does Display Doctor A/F do? I've got a Matrox Mystique (non-220) with 4mb, and a (gasp) Cyrix 166+ (I know I know I know...). Thanks, BrucieMoose

I have a Cyrix 200 MX (Crapodulus) and the only way I have found to make the graphics better is to play on a very fast server, such as freeserve.

Hmm... ...I meant single player Quake, to improve the graphics, not the connection. But, thanks for replying anyway!

Maybe, but a ping of 130 is much smoother. >Anyway, I noticed Quakeworld's graphics, sound and input run a lot >smoother than standard Quake, due to the DirectX support.

I think it creates a custom vesa 2 compatible driver for your card. It should speed things up slighlty and improve compatibility for old cards.

I'm running an AMD K5100 and a Cirrus 5436 with 1Mb, giving me a blistering 16.7 FPS at 320x200 ;-) Vermin.

Display Doctor makes one hell of a difference. It adds a shedload of new resolutions and speeds up existing resolutions. You can download a 21-day trial from: http://www.scitechsoft.com/down_sdd_win.html I have a LAN at home and my wife's lowly P120 with Mystique 170 4MB can now run Quake quite happily at 600 x 400 resolution, no flicker. ------------------------------------------------------------------- Andrew Oakley <evilandi@cimmerii.demon.co.uk> PGP Key ID 2E2C7969 www.cimmerii.demon.co.uk -home page/photos www.custodian.com -work "what is the use of music," thought Alice, "without drum machines?"
