So it really is jumpy and not just me.

OK. To all you gurus out there why don't you post some things I can do to make this game not so damn jumpy. 35 seems REALLY low. I have an AMD 2100+ and 1.25G RAM. I don't think this video card is bad, or is it? This is the first game that I have EVER installed on my system so I don't know what I should do to optimize it. Please post some pointers.

in the dir ../Benchmark/Stuff/ only appear a file called timedemo.txt but it's 0 bytes...

hmm, the benchmark does run a lot better with the libsdl from my gentoo install (still no reason not to upgrade my kt133a mobo)

I am not exactly sure why this is so damn slow ... or why i have 269 fps at the end there when everything else is much lower. Any advice?

Have you compiled your own libsdl and openal and removed the ones from the ut2004demo/System dir as per the other posts on this page?

I know, a bit stranger here, I tried the benchmarking on Windows XP and it works there, too.

My Results:

UT2004 Build UT2004_Build_[2004-02-10_03.01]
Windows XP 5.1 (Build: 2600)
AuthenticAMD PentiumPro-class processor @ 1997 MHz with 511MB RAM
NVIDIA GeForce4 Ti 4200 with AGP8X (4523)

This is an AsRock K7VT2 Board with SDRAM and not DDR-RAM. So it might give you an idea. I might repeat the test with the DDR-RAMs which will be delivered in a couple of days *duck*

Hm, this is weird. I ran the benchmark as root (so I can cheat by using nice -n -20 ;-)

) and I got 38 points. But when I run the game as normal user, I get 41. It's not nice (screwing up and decreasing performance) because I ran it as root without nice and still got 38... where does this performance difference come from?

w.o. sound i just have +1 score so it's not caused by that - had no problems under xp, but the performance in game is really poor. Any ideas?
i use 2.4.25 kernel and have no problems with nvidia stuff except my usb is not working - are there any performance tweaks to put in XF86Config ?

Just to give some upgrade perspective: I upgraded to a 2400 athlonxp (thorton core) from my 1800, which is about a 500mhz difference in clock speed and am seeing a increase of ~7 points, with or without sound.

Nvidia's NvAGP is considerably faster than AGPGART when using nforce2 based Mobo's.
