Utter disgust.

ahh, what are you current specs?

huh?!!!

it didn't allow you to use Glide? odd.

my friend, who uses a Voodoo 3 was able to use Glide for 3D support.
have you tried reinstalling the patch?

D3D sucks?

I am currently using Version 428 (I had 432 but I didn't like the way it was acting) with D3D. I have a GeForce 256, P-III 667, 128Megs of Ram. I get an average of about 49 Fps currently. UT told me that this was the best config to use (D3D) but now I read that D3D is at the bottom of the barrel. What should I use? Which is the best? What kind of differences are we talking about here? Faster FPS? I find D3d is good, smooth with decent FPS. Should I change it? I had tried once to use another however my FPS went to hell (10-12 fps etc) so I went with D3D.

Any ideas? Thoughts? Comments?

RaginRaven, if it's smooth with good detail, use it. You can't go wrong.

I noticed a good improvement in D3D with 432. I have a Geforce2, Thunderbird 700@742, 96 MB RAM, Win98 1st edition.

432 Patch
Running in OpenGL no problem

Probably

Glide is probably the best for Voodoo cardss.
D3D is probably the best for non-Voodoo cards with 128 MB of ram or less.
OpenGL is better if you have a lot of ram and a non-voodoo card.

My GeForce MX, 700 mhz athlon, and 128 MB of ram gets avg of 37-40 FPS with D3D online at 800x600x32 med/med, OGL gets 45-50 FPS online at 1072x784x32 high/high, but takes a LONG time to get started, and is extremely choppy in the beginning of the game. In one game on Peak, I started 6 frags down in a large DM simply because it takes so long for OpenGL get started... all the disk swapping is really slow.

I wish I had some more damn ram.... still, the OGL is so pretty I take the initial time loss.

OK go into your UT.ini and find the following:

[XDrv.XClient]

ScreenFlashes=True

Set that to FALSE. That might help.
