BZ appearance

Post by York »

My old laptop died and got another...now trying to get BZ back up and running. I installed 2.0, and the ground has a bunch of red lines (sort of a large graph) on it and the detail is a little lack-luster.
I am NOT a techy and would like some info on the possible fixes for this. Please be gentle.... :lol-old:

the higher u put it on though the more lag u could be getting if u dont have a good connection, so sometimes i actually like it on low

It also drops frame rates.

Off topic

I tried /localset fpsLimit 1 and I was getting on average 700ms lag and 50 jit :D

Whats the point of having super low quality settings?

If you have a super sucky video card sometimes that is all that is playable, as your graphics card can't keep the frame rate up. Another reason is that (depending on your video card) you can get a better frame rate at the lower settings.
