UT Choppy and unplayable

[Daedra]

i installed UT the other day <version 428 using OpenGL> and it runs, but its stuttering beyond belief, it moves in second intervals making it unplayable, any one else had this problem, or any idea on how to fix?

Have you tried the 428a patch?

Daedra: which:
-distro
-video card
?

i forgot about this post, i got it fixed the other day, i had some stray mesa file lurking in my /usr/X11R6/lib, i just deleted them and crated symlinks to my new driver with the files that i needed

How did you fix this? I have a v3 with LM7.2. Please point me in the right direction. I want to play in Linux

[Daedra]

first, is your V3 setup correctly?

[phlunkie]

Out of the box (per se) LM7.2 v3 dri acceleration. anything in patuicular i should look for in the settings?

[Daedra]

well I dont have a V3 I have a Geforce II so its probably going to be diffrent for you, but what my problem was is the reason it was so choppy and slow was because it was using my Mesa drier to Render the OpenGL, it was the file /etc/X11R6/lib/libGL.so.1, so what i did was deleted that file and since i knew that my 3D card driver was /usr/lib/libGL.so.1.0.5 i created a symlink like this

ln -s /usr/lib/libGL.so.1.0.5 /etc/X11R6/lib/libGL.so.1

that way when UT started it would still use libGL.so.1 but it was linked to my hardware driver

I had the same issue, it was as simple as playing the game without the cd funny enough, only had that issue with 428 patch...

[phlunkie]

If that is the only problem, i will cry

try installing the most recent V3 drivers, that could help! :P
