UT2k3-probs

[Bart]

ello,
I've got probs with the UT2k3-performance.
In some big maps (eg. 'DoubleDammage'; 'ctf-December') UT2k3 swap. Even without bots DoubleDammage ain't run very smooth. Don't think that's a GFx-problem, because the framecounter says a fps-rate of over 50. I think it's because the Hi-res-textures get loaded in the Ram, but i dunno exactly.
I made sure that no other unnecessary programs loaded in memory when playing.
(no firewalls, no AntiVir, or sth else)
In the win-taskmanager i saw, that UT2k3 (with 19 Bots!!) use only 261Mb Ram -> over 150Mb physical memory is still free.
Any ideas why? possibly it's normal? or u got any tweak-hints?

My (non-Inet) computer:
AthlonXP 2700+, GeforceFX5900, Via KT400-Board, 512MB DDR333-Ram, 7200 rpm HDD, WinXP(Home), DetonatorFX 52.16, newest chipset drivers, Sound Onboard, newest UT-Patch used + BP1)

thx

done it, but i didn't notice a change :[. The maps i mentioned run with 50-70 fps, but it's still swapping

Really odd 2k3 runs perfectly fine with my ti4200 and everyone knows the game is optimised to death for nvidia so your fx 5900 should run it even better

Try turning off Mousesmoothing and reduce mouse lag

again no effect.
Anyway solved that problem. I deleted the 2 maps
