Hey, there's no need to be rude. If no-ones replied, it means no-one knows how to help.

It could also be that we can't understand what you wrote in your first post: what does "bthr un beter" mean?

Runs "Better" in opengl?? yack, how antique.

What video card are you using. What OS are you running? If its ATI or NVIDIA that was made in the last couple of years, you got something fubar'ed.

Check/Update video drivers and/or update your WIN OS and switch back to DX 9.0b

If its LINUX or a Pentium 100 w/ a Trident card, yep, you have to change each time.

My setup:
WinXp
onboard GeForce 4 64mb
onboard audio
56.64 drivers
have all updates for XP, and my mobo. I have DX9 installed.
AMD Athlon XP 2600+ 2.08 proc.
All my drivers are up to date and I using the editor with 2K3

What kind of settings do you have on that? Since I play for the purpose of winning I tend to have every on what I call "mush" settings. Basically, everything turned down. I get about 40-50 fps on my machine. Try upping your memory to about 128mb on your onboard. Turn on low quality sound as you have an onboard sound card. Don't have Hardware sound or the other types of hardware sound features (3D positional).

It is the fact you have onboard sound + onboard video which is killing your FPS, if you don't turn these to a minimum. BTW, the GF4 is an MX onboard, so that is a DX7 type chip, which doesn't help at all. I don't think there is a GF4 Ti (DX 8) onboard version.

Lastly, are you complaining about poor fps because you aren't getting 100fps like in Quake 3? People seem to equate poor fps if their fps isn't above 60.

ok, now that we know what your system setup is and all, we can answer your question intelligently.

YOU HAVE TO SWITCH BACK EVERY DANG TIME.

Next question.
