lol@you cant camp in this game.

so i decide to fire up cstrike and see if theres the same low fps shit that im getting in dod...

of course there isnt, 100 fps constant.. wtf


so im playing a bit.. i ended up with a 3.5 ratio.. then of course:

then that guy went on about how i cant play the game without buying stuff.. idk i guess im supposed to not buy weapons and armor?

No dude, you havn't figured it out yet? You're supposed to hesitate before shooting, not bother to check corners (because nobody camps in cs/dod), and aim slow. Then you'll fit right in.

You've probably tried all this, but i'll throw it out there anyway. Try setting steam's process priority to low before firing into dod. If it runs cs fine, could it be something in your dod cfg? Try moving it and letting dod create a default when you launch.

opengl, widescreen, aspect ratio is all ok? Your vsync must be off if cs is running at 100.. I can't really think of anything else to try.

just tried it a lil bit ago.. didnt help at all


everything is set the same in dod as i had it in cs... doesnt make sense, i know dod is a little graphically more intense then cs, but definitely not anything huge and not something my pc cant handle

fps_max?

Ah, I bet if you launch with a lower dx level it might help. Right click DoD on steam -> properties -> launch options -> -dxlevel 81

-64bit too maybe?

-dxlevel 81 -64bit -noforcemspeed -noforcemaccel -noforcemparms

well i run in opengl anyway... and i think the -64bit is only for source games, and then only for ones that support it.. everything ive tried it on still runs in 32


but i think i got it.. i set the hl.exe priority to above normal and its staying pretty constant at 99 now.. i am getting a few laggish type spikes here and there.. but not too bad so far

wish i could get it to work without having to set the priority each time.. but oh well it will do for now...

i thought maybe it was my cmd line options earliar, cause i have some not-so-normal stuff in it.. but removing them all didnt help

I'm on the phone with Valve right now. Enjoy your vac ban Damian Jr.


I think there's a way to edit the steam shortcut and have it set process priority. I tried a few things with start/run cmd in windows and didnt have any luck.

cmd /c start /high steam.exe

I don't know how I was losing with a 90-12 score
