Yep, my FPS is still 10 though

niceee 10 fps XD i know how that feels from when i used to use my dadas comp, im on 120+ now

Probably because I have NO graphics card lol...I don't think this PC even came with onboard LMAO! But I have 2GB RAM and a 3GHz Processor, so that makes up for it

nice, can you add a gfx card then? or is it an old mobo tht u cant do tht to

It's a year and a half old, it has the PCMIA (or whatever its called) slot. If I ever come across a graphics card I'd install it, but I ain't gonna go looking for one...10 FPS works for CLC, but it's a b*lls for racing

fair play, 10 fps is playable.... if its smooth, if its all jolty etc. at any frame rate, it makes you feel ill after a while XD

LOL do you get car sick from playing LFS miles? LMAO!

Try setting these options for bad a FPS solution:
(I just did this with pugsly and got him an extra 10-15 FPS cause he was set up all wrong)

Misc-
MULTIPLAYER SPEED UP OPTION = YES
MULTIPLAYER CAR DRAW = <80M or even less
DYNAMIC LOD REDUCTION = 1.00

Graphics-
USER LOD = < 0.6
MIRROR LOD = < 0.2
DUST LOD <0.5

HAZE = OFF
DRAY SKY = OFF
SHADOW TYPE = OFF
FULL WHEELS = OFF
DRAW TYRES = OFF
DRAW TREES = OFF
DRAW RAUBBER = OFF
TEXTURE MIP BIAS = >-2.0 (in otherwords: 0.0)
DITHER = NO
MIP FILTER = NO
FULL SIZE TEXTURES = NO
CAR AND HELMET SKINS = COMPRESSED

If you have VERTEX SHADING available TURN IT ON (YES)
If you have SIMPLE TRACK option TURN IT ON (YES)

Screen-
try 800X600 X 16 BIT
try 1024X768 X 16 BIT






TBH IMO 10fps is just really impossible. With those settings above...(if you didn't have them set like that before) these new settings should add add at least 10-15 FPS, if not.... try reducing USER LOD to like 0.3 maybe even less.

Thanks JJ, but that's pretty much my setup, I'll play with it tommorow...It was suggested here that my graphics card is the problem...But I can't upgrade...10 fps actually adds a new dimension to LFS Dodging GTR's at 150mph with 10fps is excellent

The problem is in both single player and multiplayer, so it's probably the graphics card...

Problem with graphics card? ....

I think you mean the problem is no graphics card right? Mid range cards are quite cheap second hand.. ~10-20 pounds ? E-bay. yeah ?

edit: ohh so you're getting anew PC soon so cant get one.. ok

Might I suggest 640x480 ? or even 240x320 ?

I'd like to be able to see the road...

When I say "new" pc...lmao...its new for me! atm I use the family pc, which means no modding...but (your gonna laugh at me now ) my granny recently decided to order a laptop...so...I get her old PC!!! LOL

It's 256MB RAM, a 2Ghz Processor, and...oh wait that's it...

But I can hopefully do some proper modding now, I'm thinking 8GB RAM, a quad-core 4Ghz Processor (liquid cooled, naturally) and a HD3850 512mb video card!!! Finally I can play LFS with a sky!

Anyways, I should have it in a couple of weeks...and I should be up and running in maybe a month...I'm really lookin forward to playing PC games with more than 20 fps lol

You must be dreaming to get that out of your granny PC. With what you plan to do, nothing is savageable on your granny PC, probably the case will be too small to fit all your stuff inside. It won't really be an overhaul of you granny PC, just a new PC that will be bought.
