Help with the 9500 Pro

Hey guys, I just upgraded to a Radeon 9500 Pro for my birthday yesterday and my frame rate in Raven Shield noticibly dropped. As far as I can tell, the game didn't dink with my settings at all. I upped my resolution to 1024x768 and that actually seemed to help.

Any advice?

I use a 9500 pro as well and it''s weird, for the longest time I had frame issues and then one day they just went away. I have no idea what changed!

If I had to guess, I''d probably updated my video drivers or something. I''ve heard someone mention that with his Radeon 9700 card he gets BETTER performance when turning 4X AA ON oddly enough.

Come to think of it, check your card properties and make sure you disable v-sync and turn OFF Truform. I think Raven Shield does use it if you don''t turn it off. In fact, that may be what fixed my problem.

Raven Shield is just a poorly coded mess. I can''t believe how choppy it runs compared to other unreal 2 engine games.

Actually, once I got my issues sorted out I found Raven Shield runs BETTER than Unreal 2.

I agree. With my Ti 4400 Raven Shield runs pretty much as well if not slightly better than UT. That''s not to say people haven''t been having framerate issues. I''ve just been fortunate enough to have a flawless experience with the game.

I also have had very little problems with Raven Sheild. Apart from the runaway server issue which turned out to be a simple fix. Otherwise the game has run really smooth on my Geforce 4 card.

I still can''t get Raven Shield to run worth a darn. I will try some of the things mentioned above.
