Knights Reborn

Finally, I've gotten JKA installed and running on my new system. Too bad i can't crank up all the graphics, for some reason it runs choppy on my pc...even though it can handle Unreal 03 with every graphics option cranked to the max......any one got ideas on this? Maybe it's a vista thing?



Either way, I'm back to JKA now, and I'd like to rejoin KR.


Where do I stick this app? (No wise ass comments.....)

Lol Shin welcome back. You can post your application in Invites Corner of the forum- as you know your entry will be decided by the council as you are a former member of KR.

Good to hear that JKA does actually work on Vista, thats a good thing. Secondly I have heard that you can install DirectX 9 along side DirectX 10 on vista- this should make the running of JKA more smooth and should apply to all older games. I'm not an expert on this so don't quote me, its just what i've heard and picked up. You could try googling it.

Welcome back once again,

Pho~

Welcome back dude

welcome back m8 look forward to pwning u on server (not that i ever did anyway lol)

welcome back

Welcome back Shin! Didnt see you ages =D . Hope to see you sometime on server!

welcom back

Hola Senior!

They made an Unreal 3?
o.o

Besides the point. Welcome back!

I read that as Unreal '03, presumably from 2003.

Anyways, ABOUT TIME YOU OLD PILE OF BONES~!! Welcome back!!

Welcome back

BTW:
They did make an Unreal 3, its coming out real soon

I meant Unreal Tourny 03...oh well


Anyways, I think I've got my JKA performance prob with Vista figured out. Turns out that NVidia has loads of options set to whatever they they think would be good....which sucks for games.


All I had to do was turn a few off, which make no differance to games anyways, and set the other one's to app-controlled, and BOOM. Problems gone, I now play JKA with everything cranked up at 1024X760 (or something like that) and it runs SMOOTH. No lag. So.....i think anyone who uses vista and has been having problems with slow gaming should go check out what their Vid Card has it's options set to....by options I mean Control Panel>NVidia Options (or whatever your card is)>Manage 3d Settings. Then i changed things to app-controlled and turned off some stuff...no more slowdowns, plays like XP again. Hope this helps out anyone who's been having slowdown prob's with their older games on Vista.

The difference is likeley FSAA and AF.. on JA really you wont notice much difference but on newer games you will see a hige difference in quality of images.

It does of course depend on how good your graphics card is... if its one with muscle leave it on.. if not turn it off/ down..

Howvere the problem with JA could be specific to taht fact that it is an old game as you say which its engine design is not suited to the dated apsect of the opengl driver so it may be struggling to work properly.

I would look at turning it back on or in teh nVidia Control panel set the settinsg to off on the trouble some games only..

As the effects are really massive impact when it comes to aesthetics in gaming and 3d graphics / rendering.

Heres some references and examples

Well, I only turned off 2 options....neither of which i can remember....i think it was filtering of some sort..the other options i turned to app-controlled...which is what i did on my old geforce MX4000...and it greatly improved the performace and detail in games. Right now though, i have no new games, so i'll deal with that when i get some. For the time being however, JA looks great, and runs good too.

BTW I've got a GeForce 6150 LE with 256 MB.

yeah that is probably why, I would be inclined to keep them off then

the 6150 is a budget range card and will not handle games well at all.

If you want to run new games you may be forced to upgrade, especially in Vista
