New renderers, help please

Well, I bit the bullet and installed the new drivers from Epic since UT keeps locking up my computer in D3D. Anyhow, D3D STILL locks ups, and now I don't see the flags :(

As well, the performance SUCKS. a good 30-40fps hit =/

The Opengl performance is rather lackluster as well. I top out at 60fps with an average at around 30-40 .. as well, the high-res textures *do not* work with this OpenGL driver (for me anyhow). They *DO* work just fine with the new D3D driver though.

I have a tbird 950 with a geforce 2 gts 64 on a Asus A7V... performance should be *alot* better :mad:

Ideas?

I doubt it's an AGP problem. before I "upgraded" my two renderers, I was getting an *average* of 70-80fps in D3d (1024x768).. I would get NO lockups in Opengl however, only in D3d.

I should probably try setting my AGP speed down to 2x from 4x though, as that *could* be part of the stability problem...

That no flag thingy:

I had that too once. Turn of Volumetric Lighting in the AO. It's a known bug :(

Oh
My
God

OMG!

Ok, I know I am spamming now, but I just downloaded NVMax and found out I was only at AGP2x.. anyhow, I fiddled with the settings and now OpenGL gives me a woody. I swear. I am *averaging* 105fps (on Coret)... Now umm.. how ca I get those beautifull High Res textures working with this? (yes I ahve the "uses3tc" option set to True)...

<edit>
As an update, I went back and tinkered with NVMax some more and I have D3d *smooth* as butter, with an average of 90fps with nice bursts in open field of 150(!!)..

I still can't see the flags though, that is a BIG problem when all you play is CTF :) any more ideas?

Opengl doesn't seem to want to write the name of my weapon on the screen either... I am playing with weapon hand "hidden", so I kind of need that ;)
