Sweet, thanks loads BillZ. I checked out those tweaks, and it runs alright now. Still not getting a great framerate, but I'm sure there's not much can be done about it.

That card looks pretty sweet, I've been kinda wanting to switch to Nvidia, so that's cool. Thanks for the recommendations!

Hey all, first off I'd like to thank you, BillZ, for making such a great guide!
Secondly, I have a fairly low-end vid card, (Radeon 9550), due to cash flow problems. I've used the settings in this guide, and I've not seen too much of a difference. I've tweaked settings as they've been posted in replies and such, but I'm still only running at around 14fps.

This is just unacceptable for me, and the only way I've been able to alleviate the stress this is causing is to run in a "special" video mode using a tag at the command line "-useTexEnvCombine"
I use this and framerate goes WAY up, but the graphics suck. It's just playable because it moves quickly.

Any suggestions, keeping in mind I'm on an extremely tight budget?
