    Just a few questions about Q4

    Hey guys,
    I wanted to know some things about Q4:

    I noticed that my FPS counter is locked at about 60. Is there a command to make it a max of 100?
    Is there any rate commands I need to know about for online play, and thus change?
    When you type in benchmark to the console, it goes to a black screen for about 10 seconds, then comes out, and tells me in the console 7152FPS, with a bunch of other things, and I can't help but think there is something I am missing. Am I doing something wrong? Is that the only benchmark there is?

    I will install Q4max when the 1.4 point release is out

    Thanks

    Slightly unrelated: when I get about 4 enemies on the screen all doing their thing in DM, my fps drops to about 30-40, but my spec is pretty damn good. Any ideas as to why there would be an FPS drop with such little action going on?
    Setup:
    1280x1024, high detail, everything on, Multiple core/cpu enabled. No AA
    Rest in sig
    ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

    Go into your video options and make sure vsync isn't enabled. If it is, disable it and it should increase your fps. I don't know about the others.

    I get that too even when I lower the settings a bit, but if you go too far you might as well just play Q3
    Hence why I stopped playing Q4 hehe

    No it won't, the Doom 3 engine is capped at 60FPS and for a good reason..... Leave it mate.

    Theres no need to remove a 60fps cap unless you are benching. You wont notice any difference over 60 and by the sound of it its pointless because your fps drops to 30.

    The reason its dropping to 30 when there are a few enemies on screen in DM is because of you cpu and gpu lacking the power to process all the extra information that more enemies require fast enough.

    Some people dont have sigs or avatars turned on (including me). Best off updating the drop down on the left.

    I too was wondering why you thought a ti4200 was a good card!

    Apologies, I un-ticked the show comp spec in the options, in User CP, so it shouldn't be there!

    Changing it now

    Ahhh..

    In that case, don't know - your performance sucks

    I've got a similar system and the performance in Q4 is amazing at all times.

    Multi-core timing issues?

    1.4 patch unlocked the fps cap in multiplayer but the cap is now set in the server cfg so different servers have different max fps caps most are running 90 others use 100-125.

    1.4 also has major performance increases if u play 1.0 online it doesnt matter what spec pc u have it will suffer from serious frame rate drops.

    for benchmarking the game use this command "timedemo demo001" it will run a short demo and output the average? fps at the end in the console.

    some commands of note are r_forceambient 0-1 (turns off lighting BIG performance boost),net_clientUsercmdPacking 1 (big difference in online play), net_clientPrediction (experiment with numbers and try and make the top line of the netgraph disappear).

    those commands might only work on 1.4 and/or q4max as thats all that i play and you should really download both asap as they really do make it a much better/more fun game.
