Slow motion in certain zones...

Post by cjn » Sun Aug 01, 2004 10:01 pm

No matter how many EQ sessions, I am experiencing slow motion (serious graphic lag) in certain rich-graphic zones like PoK, Natimbi, PoTran, etc. I have checked the WinEQ.log file and found that only one thing is different:

Normal:
AutoDepthStencilFormat: D3DFMT_D24X8

Slow motion:
AutoDepthStencilFormat: D3DFMT_UNKNOWN

In the log file I don't see any low memory warning, or anything failed. My system is 3200+ with 1GB DDR RAM + GF3 64MB. AGP Aparture set to 512MB in BIOS. Why is that happening? Any option to "Force" rather than "Auto"?

For windowed mode applications, D3DFMT_UNKNOWN is always forced under DirectX9 anyway. Do you have the latest NVIDIA drivers? I'll see if I can discover the cause...

Sorry Lax, seems they are not the causes. I have some tests done and found out even AutoDepthStencilFormat: D3DFMT_UNKNOWN, the EQ session can still run normally. Anyway, I post the whole WinEQ.log to you which "slow motion" occurs.

Btw, this happens no matter what driver version I am using, from 5X.XX to 6X.XX.

Forget to mention, when "slow motion" occurs, some textures are missing, like no wall, no ground... etc.
