I just reinstalled Windows 98 .. I had a could problems outside of gaming that required me to do a complete format/install.
So anyway, I install UT .. use my same .ini file (so all the old configs from my last install are the same) I add all the patches, packs, bonus whatevers .. all the standard downloads, basically.
Start UT .. 20 FPS. hrm.. I went from 100 FPS to 20. Something's wrong.
I reinstalled Windows AGAIN tonight .. just because after 10 reinstalls in a month, it's starting to become fun.
So .. I get everything back up and running OS-Wise - start UT, SAME problem.
I'm using the same drivers I've used in previous installs .. I believe they're the Det 6.35. I even tried using my card's drivers - the Hercules 6.35 and 7.52.
I'm running UT in D3D - I have a Geforce 2 GTS, Athlon 1333 - 512 megs of ram (blah blah..) Everything in UT is maxed.. etc.
Here's what I'm trying to find out - UT has ran just fine for about a year and a half - now all of a sudden I get this HUGE performance decrease when I set my system up exactly how I've had it set to previously, and I can't figure out WHY. I just reinstalled UT and Windows.
Ever start UT, move your mouse, and it takes a second or two for it to actually move on the screen? That's what I'm getting, basically.
:\
It sounds like my card is shot .. but it's only going on 9 months old.
