Hey all,
My fps is incredibly low, its about 12 anywhere outside and when i get near ai it drops to about 7! i would expect this on an older machine but i have a 2800xp+ AMD a gig of ram a GeForce 5200Fx and plenty of harddisk space. I have just updated my drivers and still no difference, any ideas on why this might be?
Thanks

1.4GhZ P4
256MB RAM
Geforce 4 Ti4800
6 gigs of free HD space.
I get 100 fps max in releasemode and 40 in debugmode.
Anyway, if you want to build a release version instead, set the compiler and linker to use the release configuration instead of debug, in VC6 - this is going;
Build
Active Configurations
------------------------
Torque Demo - Win32 Release <-
Torque Demo - Win32 Debug
Torque Lib - Win32 Release
etc.

It depends on what compiler/linker you have. I don't think debugmode should lower fps to that extent. My machine is considerably weaker than yours.1.4GhZ P4

Ive tried the release version now, and it runs about 10-17 fps now. Ive tried it on my old 600mhz machine 128 ram 32mb video card and i get 22-25fps!!! This doesn't make any sense at all. Are there any driver issues with geforce fx 5200?

Downgrading is kind of a pain though, its hard to get the new ones out... you should uninstall the new ones, use the standard windows drivers temporarily, then remove the card from the device manager completely, and then install the older ones... or something like that ;)
