I recently downloaded Damnation for UT2004 because it sounded really promising. I loaded it up and started playing. The intro played just fine, I picked a character and started a new game... only to be greeted by a slideshow. Before I go further, allow me to post my computer specs:
P4 2.4b Ghz
Intel D845PESV motherboard
1gb Corsair XMS2700
Radeon 9700 Pro @ 330/660
Turtle Beach Santa Cruz
Windows XP Pro + SP1
Catalyst 4.10
DirectX 9.0c
I normally play UT2004 @ 1280x960 with all the details on the Highest settings. So when I saw that Damnation was performing very poorly, I tried turning the settings down to 800x600, low details. No dice; everything was still a slideshow.
What's really puzzling is that certain areas give me terrific framerates. The opening plays at 60fps, and I can rotate the camera in certain directions to get 40+fps. But for the most part, I'm getting 1-3fps.
Is there something I'm doing wrong? Can someone explain why I'd be getting such horrendous, unplayable framerates?
