In Unreal Tournament, I get a horrible framerate when there is a lot of players on screen with my V3. What could I change to help this?
A. Disabling Volumetric Lighting and High Detail actors within the game can help. To change these, just load up the game, enter the console by pressing the tilde (~) key (beside the non-keypadded “1”) or whatever button you may have assigned to it. Then, type in “preferences” (without the ” and “). Then, a menu pops up. Double-Click on “Rendering” and then “3DFX Glide Support” (you always should be using Glide on a V3, with a few game exceptions). Then, simply disabled the two previously-enumerated features. This can increase performance, but it is very map-dependant (the Volumetric Lighting, not the High Detail Actors). It can also decrease video quality. For example, by disabling H.D.A., that cool effect that shows up when you see a guy with the shield belt will disappear, and turn into something much uglier.
