In single player, any big action goes on i get very low fps(outside prog, gun fight in car i got as low as 10!! i have geforce 4 ti 4600, 1.8ghz intel 4 on win xp, sb live 5.1, and 512mb ram.ive updated all except BIOS cause i cant find an update for it, and all thos extra settings people talk bout in bios arent in mine..anyways, i play with most setting maxed out, i turn them down doesnt make much a difference..any help please as iam getting very angry..other games work great, its just this one..

If its only lagging in gunfights, look in your 'my config' file and turn 'useFF' to 0, and something about 'FF avail' to 0 as well.

if its bad in general, check your AGPmemory with the little proggie in the sticky threads above.if you have an ALi chipset(i dont know if they do Intel) you may need to download RivaTuner to turn on AGP if it's at 0/zero when you check it...

i did ty the ff, dint help, used the program said i had plenty of agp mem, dont know what it is...

It's not your machine Dub, it's the game. If we can't get good framerates on our systems, who can? I didn't know I needed to run dual P4's to get over 100 FPS on single player....... what a joke!!  BRING ON THE FRIKIN PATCH ALREADY!!!!

Why do you need 100fps in single player?

Point?  There is little connection between Q3 and SOF2 single player... Even still,  Q3 was coded to run online with a tnt at 1024 x 768 in 32bit color with as little as 30fps and be playable.  Finally, Q3 was basically a multiplayer game with bot practise levels.  What makes SOF2 great is the AI and hit location damage.  None of this needs 100fps to be appreciated.  In fact, mid-30's framerates are fine with occasional dips into the 20's.  That is why quality control for Raven saw no problems with 20fps in this game.   Multiplayer runs very fast because it doesn't have the AI and the high degree of gore that is in the single player.  That is my basic issue... Why do we need 100fps in single player... To say it is because of Q3 shows a real lack of knowledge about all the changes Raven made to the Q3 engine.... Or, perhaps you misunderstood me.

We are not dealing with peoples expectations.  We are dealing with reality.  The reality is that the Q3 engine was so modified that what we really have is a different game here.  If you read questions asked Carmack at E3, you really appreciate how he did not want to even get involved answering questions as to what Raven had done in changing the engine.  You will make one very nice indepth post (which I commented on in another thread), then you will jump in with the idea that SOF2 should run like Q3.  All comments like that do is to misinform people with problems and cause them to unfairly complain to Raven.  I am sure that this was not your intent.

I wrote a nice little rant about this here: Clicky!
in case you guys are interested in my take on the situation...
