New Water Bug

[Eiii]

What other word is to be used?

[jitspoe]

"Choppy" is what I use.

[Eiii]

Whatever works. I believe lag is used for both because the result looks slightly the same. Game stopping/starting or just running kinda slow.

I think I gotta turn off reflective water for now, but I hope that it will run better in build 17....

on my "old" Geforce 4200, I get some nice 200-400 fps without water, and it drops to like 80-120 with reflective water.  Can't believe it has to do with the hardware on yours... get new drivers.

[AgentSmith]

But I heard that installing a new driver if an old one is already existing can cause some problems...

and I think I have the latest driver....

I`ll try it with a FX 5200 card, but If I go to Nvidia Page and download the driver, its the same As I already have installerd:-(

AgentSmith, try the tweaked Omega Drivers for ATi cards here: http://www.omegadrivers.net/

they are tweaked and optimised so you get the best performance possible out of your card (and your card rocks anyway).

Ive got a poor old Radeon 9600XT 256mb and i can run the reflective water no problems, which is a bit of a piss take given how good you say your spec's are compared to mine.

hope you get it sorted,

Cool link, Dagless.  I'll be sure to check it out when I'm at home.

actually, now i think on, something pure just said intrigued me..

you said: I`ll try it with a FX 5200 card, but If I go to Nvidia Page and download the driver, its the same As I already have installerd:-(

but in the first post you said you had a X850, which is an Ati Radeon card... so why would you have nvidia drivers installed with that card in?
