Help....

[Redwine]

Many thanks GakunGak, MaxT and Anvart..

Happens with diferent drivers version.
F5 makes nothing.
I use 1280x1024 in desktop, but 1024x768 into SH IV.
1280x1024 into sim, droops my FPS.

No other game/sim makes it... only SH IV.

I do not use ATI Tray Tool, i use ATI Tool, to Underclock my card to avoid anoying graphic glitches.

Have you tried to run it windowed (since the full resolution lags anyway)?

If low-end video card, try lowering details...:hmm:
If possible, set refresh rate to 75Hz.
Update to latest drivers.
Close all background programs...
Try that.

I think setting the refresh rate on an LCD monitor would not have an effect...

LCD displays

Much of the discussion of refresh rate does not apply to LCD monitors. This is because while a phosphor on a CRT will begin to dim as soon as the electron beam passes it, LCD cells open to pass a continuous stream of light, and do not dim until instructed to produce a darker color. Pertaining to LCDs, see also response time and Input lag.

By the way, I found this in MAX PAYNE's manual:

ATI Radeon graphics cards (Radeon, Radeon VE, Mobile Radeon)
We recommend that the D3D Hardware T&L setting is used on all Radeon cards that support it.

ATI Radeon based cards don't support the in-game Gamma control. You should adjust gamma from ATI Radeon's display driver control panel if needed.

:hmm:

Point taken....
What else do you suggest?
Whait for 1.3 patch?

Heh, I doubt that'll fix it in his case :p

On the other hand... Do you have any Adobe products installed (Like Photoshop, Acrobat Reader etc)? See if you have Adobe Gamma Loader loading at your startup and if it does, remove it and reboot. After that the problem should be solved


Proceed as follows:

• Click on "Start".
• Hover over "Programs" and then over "Startup".
• Right-click on the Adobe Gamma Loader and choose "Delete" from the dialog box.

Sounds promising...:hmm:
Good find!

Well, i have a PIV 3.4, ATI X800 XT PE 256mb, 3GB RAM... into 1024x768 i can run the game at full graphics, with antivirus, ACD SEE, Photshop and many other programs like antispyware, antihackers opened into the background with no FPS problems. Most of the time i am tweaking files. :p

Into the control panel... there is a box, (Show only accepted options), and only 60hz is acepted, not 75hz, if i uncheck this box, 75Hz apperas, but not sure, aparently the monitor do not accept more than 60 HZ.
