FPS and PINGS in Custom Maps
 

that would be the fault of the custom maps, which ones are you referring to?

Or go to a place and check your Broadband Speed. http://www.broadband.com
is a place to check to see if your system is running the way it should.
Thier are Speed Tests& Tweaks that are thier that can help you gert the
most of your Connection.By the way whats your OS and also whats your
Connection DSL, Cable??. Please post this so that way we can help you
out.

well I doubt it could be cable modem problems, are you talking about running the custom maps without any other people in the game?

Theres people in the map when i'm having the fps problems. I've been told
it could be my video card, but i'm going to http://www.broadband.com to check if
i'm getting everything out of my connection set up. I'm broadband (cable modem). The problem is greater when its the more detailed maps. Could
it be my video card?

Buckshot

if it is more detailed then it is your video card. what kind do you have?

Old Reliable,

Thanks for the replies. I currently have a Geforce 2MX/MX400.
Can you suggest a better card in the mid price range? I really
don't think i need something like an ATi 9700, although i'd surely
except 1 if given to me.

ok i know in das boot my fps will drop like 10 it casue the peorson who made them map didnt do something to it, all computers will do this not just yours

The performance of most custom maps tends to be on the bad side and if they utilize a lot of models, you ping will suffer as well.

GF3 ti 500 is excellent and cheap (if you can find one).
GF4 4200 or above is also decent and pretty nicely priced.

Avoid any MX cards. They lack too many features that most games are using.

I have a GeSpot 4 Ti 4200 and I raped it for 180.

1) What kind of connection do you have?

2) What are the rest of your system specs?

I remember someone on PMOH forum pointed out in detail how large maps were very slow because the Q3 engine wasn't designed for huge maps, and that was why spearhead/custom maps which are huge lag a lot more than others which might be only 75% the size.

Joe i think the man said he has Cable modem so that would mean he has
Cable Broad band.And yes what OS do you currently use that may also be
a problem.

I have a system that is higher than the original recommended specs of the game some custom maps still lower my fps to unacceptable levels.

Does your system suffer on any of the stock maps? Bridge/Crossroads perhaps?

If it doesn't then it's just the custom maps being poorly designed, or deliberately designed for high end spec machines. If you're willing to dish out money just so you can play on these particular maps then go right ahead.

But no way will just upgrading your gfx card do the trick.

I used to have a Voodoo3 16mb and a Duron 700Mghz setup with 384mb pc133 ram. MoH stock maps mostly ran 20-30 fps except for the bigger ones that ran as low as 10 fps.

So, I upgraded my gfx card to a gf3 ti200 64mb DDR and my performance, whilst a little better, did not increase by any significant level.

Not too long ago I upgraded my CPU to an Athlon XP 2000+ (1.67ghz), 512 DDR ram and I still have the same gfx card.

MoH now runs smooth as anything, even on the worst maps.

Except, as I said, on some large or badly designed custom maps.

It's up to you.

I'd rather not play these maps. There are lots of custom maps out there tha run smoothly on mid-range pcs. But if you want to run them smoothly you'll more than likely have to upgrade your whole system so every component is of a similar level of architecture.

Voodoo 3's suck soo much ass. I have an ATI Radeon 8500LE 128 meg DDR. Its only 107 from http://www.crucial.com I have no problems on my PC. I custom built mine.
AMD Athlon XP 21000+
512 Megs DDR Ram at 333
80 gig HDD Maxtor 5400 RPM
DVD Rom
48x CDR
400 watt power supply
SBL sound card
ECS K7lvta mbo.
Never had a problem on my system with the game. I have Win XP PRO Corperate with SP1.

my computer is the minimum specs for the game, 450Mhz, P2 etc etc and oh Spearhead i get like 6FPS cry:

Lol, are you surprised? No one would have trouble with your system, why did you post?

And of course voodoo3 is crap, it's obsolete.

Despite your system I bet you'll still get poor performance on some custom maps, which is the topic at hand. My system isn't too far from yours and some SH (custom) maps run under 20fps for me.

wow 3DFX hmm had that card was my first, but MOH or SH need more then that,also need more CPU as well, these are my specs right now and it runs
like Glass.

AMD 2.2 XP

ASUS AV78X 1GIG on board LAN

RAM 1024DDR400

GF4Ti200 128 MBDDR

80 GIG HD WD JB 8MB cache 7200 RPM

with this puppy runs all my games the way it should be
so if you have the $$$$$$$$$ to upgrade then by all means do it you will love the results.

Some maps lag more than others because the map doesn't have "bottlenecks" set up in it. A bottleneck limits a player's view of the map and so lessens the video processing load.

Oh my god, Crow King! I haven't seen you post in forever, man. Please fix this game! biggrin:

Yeh, hello, Crow King.

Sorry, Bazooka, the game's gone far beyond fixing now. It's just a "war" between cheat sites and anti cheat sites.

One makes a cheat. The other stops it. The first then comes back with another cheat. The second stops that.

This will continue for as long as the poor cheaters are being deprived of sunlight and women.

That's why I'm playing GTA:VC right now biggrin:

No cheaters in that.

Hey Bazooka, yeah its been quite a while. After talking to EA while they were in the process of developing and releasing Spearhead, I pretty much gave up on modding for MOHAA. It's open enough to allow some modding, but also allows an infinite series of cheats. If they had released the source code, I'd be programming away on it. So I just play once in a while and do most of my posting on the BaH clan website. BTW - check out the flash intro at http://www.bahtoyou.com - its really pretty good.

Ydiss - hey, long time. GTA:VC is pretty good. I've played the PS2 version but haven't tried it on the PC. I just love stealing the harleys....lol.

Hey CK, good to see you, the first "anti-cheat" maker ever! I still use your AutoKicker on my server.

Kudos.
