Hmmm, you running 10.2.6? I'm sure you are. I can't wait to get home and try it. As my little pb has a Geforce card, maybe we 'll end up blaming it on that.
Got a tip for us?

Yup, clean install of 10.2.6 and all updates.
I have a MDD PowerMac, Dual 1GHz, 1Gig of Ram, 80 Gig hard drive less then half full, G4MX 32MB (sorry little thing but it cut the price of the computer by $100 I did that looking forward to the ATI9700 that HAS NEVER APPEARED!!). Sorry I got upset.
Waiting...
Thank God for good friends with cable modem. There was no way in hell i was gonna DL this 130MB on my 56k. I'm gettin the game tomo/later on CD.
Hopefully my Quicksilver 733/384MB/GeForceMX2 32MB will run this bad boy. And this came out just in time; right at the end of my semester.
I dont think it's fair that there's such a high requirement. Many other people out there dont have a good enough system and dont have the $$ to shell out for superb upgrades (RAM, Video card).....at least I dont right now (If anyone is looking for a Graphic Designer in Long island, please hire me
).
Gotta get back to that Director project; it's due in 15 hours (3PM latest). No sleep for me...

Re: eMac FPS
Umm.. ok so I lied. I went back and played more with all the graphics settings set to "down right crappy" and I got a good 30 fps average even when the sh*t was going down. I'm not nearly as bad at this game as I thought. And the trackball wasn't so bad either, but I still think I'd rather have a mouse.
Are there any 'hardcore' or even 'serious' gamers out there that use trackballs?
Ok, now to write that paper...
(for real)
((maybe))

'Course, when I play UT on my PS2 I use the left joystick goes Forward/Backward/Look Left/Look Right and right joystick Look Up/Look Down/Strafe Left, Strafe Right. Then I laugh at people who struggle with it going "it really is the best configuration, once you MASTER IT LIKE I'M MASTERING YOU!!!! BUWHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!"
Haaaaiiieeellll no, you trackball monkey.

It's more beautiful than anything i could have ever imagined...
Runs almost too well on my dual gig 2002 with a geforce 4 ti.
Anyone know how to turn on anti aliasing?

Re: Re: Re: eMac FPS
That's how I play Bond on GameCube, but I thought hardcore gamers always felt more comfortable with a mouse and keyboard?
This paper sucks. I think I'll play one more round of UT2k3 to wake myself up 🙂

Yo Bandit, here are some numbers from my box (DP GHz Quicksliver, 1.5 GB RAM, Radeon 9000). I'm bottoming out at around 30 fps with everyone on screen and heavy action. My high end (clear screen except for terrain) is around 53 fps. My average is in the high 30s. All of this is at 1024x768 with everything turned all the way up. Does that give you a better frame of reference?
As for impressions, I NEED anti-aliasing. I also need a Radeon 9700, but who's counting? 😉
Any word on the Radeon 9700 for Mac? Has ATI announced a ship date yet for the standalone card?
What about folks with DP GHz systems and GeForce4 Ti cards? You guys have any numbers?

12" albook
I'm getting 14fps avg with everything set to normal but physics which is at high.
All decals, foliage, etc. are turned off.
Mind you, only 256mb of ram might have something to do with it...
whoever ran this on their ibook, could you give me more details?

Help. Japanese Keyboard
Yet another game I get stuck not being able to pull down the console in.
I've got a 17" 1GHz iMac, with a Japanese keyboard.. I can press ~ just fine (see, there it is), but apparently it sends it along in Unicode..
This means that any FPS game I have that uses ~ to bring down the console, I can't do ANYTHING with.. I've even (in Quake 3 and RTCW) tried remapping the console command key.. nothing happens..
I also can't type a backslash at all (making all coding efforts as slow as molasses).
Does anyone know a fix/workaround so that I can pull down the console with my Japanese keyboard? I'm not keen on dropping $70 on a new keyboard just for 2 characters.

ehm... [looks at posts]
i don't know, but i was here first! heh. that would be the first time i've seen the word "mango" in another screen name.
regarding screenshots, in addition to typing some variation of "/screenshot" mentioned earlier, try pushing the "f" keys at the top. i know that works in quake 3 and i think regular unreal tournament as well. it should give an indication that one was taken, if it works.

Re: Re: Re: Re: eMac FPS
But if you need something to wake you up, try playing Doom II and warping straight to "Dead Simple" (level 8 I think) on Hurt Me Plenty difficulty. That'll wake you up in the morning 😱
Every good shooter should be able to beat that level from scratch...call it a test of manhood, a rites of passage if you will....... 😀
You know, although I started shooters on computers I migrated to consoles because it was the only way for my poor ass to keep up with the hardware...ohhhh, so many games of Goldeneye...so I still don't feel quite right with a mouse in my right hand, it should be a numeric pad if not a controller.....

Re: Help. Japanese Keyboard
paulie: I've often encountered a similar problem with {Norwegian, UK English, German, Swedish} keyboards that have 102 keys instead of the 101 keys that a run-of-the-mill US keyboard has. According to Key Caps, the tilde should be located at the top left just beneath the escape key, but in the game it's simply not there. However, after furiously pressing all 102 keys on the keyboard i found out that when using a US or Dvorak keyboard layout, the tilde key is placed next to the left shift key.
Another measure you can take (other than trying to press all the keys on your keyboard) is changing your keyboard layout as explained in this technote:
http://developer.apple.com/technotes/tn2002/tn2056.html
BTW, if the only reason you wanted to use the tilde key was to be able to activate the FPS statistics, you can do that just by pressing TAB and writing "stat fps" or any other command you would like to execute.

Hmm, something tells me that UT2003 won't run that good on my G4/350MHz Sawtooth... 😉
nah, I'll just go and play Metroid Prime, Resident Evil Zero or some other great game on my GameCube 😛
Or I'll confiscate my dad's G4/800Mhz 😀

There are people wanting to get a new iMac soon to play this game on, I just have to say don't. To play UT2003 at a desent speed you will need a fast PM G4 or maybe a PPC970 if it comes out. Don't forget Doom3 is just around the corner and will require a 1.8Ghz PC to run will, so it will require about the same on the Mac.
what res are you guys playing at? I play at 1600x1200 with max graphics and im getting close to 30fps, I dont know why you need anything more than that, to me 30 fps is smooth. I just need to get a gamepad so I can actually play this game

OPS
I really dont care for UT, but Im nuts about tactical ops. (the mod which later became a stand-alone) Anyway, does anyone know if infogrames is releasing Ops for UT2003?

Gamepad??
Did you just say gamepad, as in controller, which comes with a gameconsole??
You're the first person I've ever heard saying they want a gamepad to play a First-Person-Shooter.
