    Athlon and 5.21

    Ok..Me too got problems with 5.21 ..but this might be inconjunction with my Athlon? Here it is:

    5.13 - Quake2; no special cfg-file.. (w/ and w/o AMD 3DNOW patch) *note: 3dnow or not resulted in the same scores with 5.13!!
    640x480 = 87FPS
    800x600 = 83FPS
    1024x1024 = 70FPS

    Pls be aware that I OCed my G400 16M-SH to 160/200.

    Now after installing 5.21 I got the following scores:

    5.21; Quake2; no config (these are the scores before I disabled vsync; no AMD 3dnow patch:
    640x480 = 44FPS
    800x600 = 40FPS
    1280x1024 = 30FPS

    I was sure this was a problem so I informed and I disabled vSync like you guys told me. Dont go asking me if the key is under "0000" I asked Ant on ICQ ..I did (if it worked) disable vSync.. so after this the following scores:

    640x480 = 66FPS
    800x600 = 63FPS

    Ok..this is better but still !not! the level I used to get. Point is..I have an Athlon and I can get to the previous score level by using the AMD Q2 update for 3dnow.. but with 5.13 there wasnt a difference in scores between 3dnow and plain q2.. so I just posted the plain Q2 scores..what can I do to fix this??

      I think that's a half life only tweak.

        sorry you might be right. but try it anyway i hl is based on q2 engine it might still work. or look for q2 console comand that dose the same thing.. i have tryed variations of q2 and hl console comands (cfg) in ss2 (joystick controls and they worked.) i say play around with the settings if there is a work around for hl there has to be a work around for q2.

            You may want to have a look at some of the news items at the following site. www.amdzone.com The problems could be the motherboard and not the G400.

              I am not concerned its a technical problem..cause with 5.13 it was fast

              Its rocksolid too.

                Are you using the highest level of texture detail in the game setup? In another thread, MM showed that decreasing the level of detail will restore the speed loss in Q3 demo. Maybe the same thing will apply to Q2.
