OK - first off, my system:
Feisty/ 2.6.20-16 generic
AthlonXP 3200 (2.16 Ghz)
512 meg PC2700 DDR memory
AGP 4x nVidia 6200 256 meg, using the 9755/ nvidia-glx-new drivers from the repo's
I know it's not a screaming machine, but I'm having some serious perfromance issues with UT2004's DM Hyperblast 2. The rest of the game works great at 1280x1024 with low-mid quality settings, usually between 60-70 fps.
Hyperblast-2 is absolutely unplayable at these settings. I had to crank all the settings to low at 640x480 to get a somewhat reasonably playable framerate, roughly 15-20 fps. I say "playable" because in single player I'm still able to hit the bad guy every now and then, on "easy" at least.
Does anyone have any idea what I could do to get this level to playable performance?
Some points to note:
Beryl/Compiz are not running in the background.
The rest of the levels I play in a session are fine (as fine as they can be considering the hardware), it's just Hyperblast that's giving me issues.
Hopefully someone has some pointers to help out?!??? I suppose I could boot into Windows and see what happens there....
