I've never a framerate problem with JJ2. Normally, the framerate is supposed to be at 70. Now I have a max of 59 fps. If I go underwater, it goes down to 3 fps, which can get really annoying. Is it because my PC has gone too far? Or could it be driver issues?

My PC Specs:

2.8 GHZ Cpu
2 GB DDR400 RAM
NVIDIA GeForce 7800 GS (Driver Version 1.2.0.90)

I don't want to go into too much detail with that, but I would like to know if there is a fix to this problem

Thanks.

Only thing I can think of is a driver compatability issue. Try different combinations of 8- and 16-bit graphics, software and hardware mode, and with and without DirectDraw.

What's the refresh rate of your monitor? JJ2 won't go up to 70fps without a refresh rate above 60Hz, from my own experience.

Ah, that could be the issue. I'll try it out with 60 hz. It's currently set at 75hz.

UPDATE: I disabled hardware mode. That fixed it.

Thanks.

i had that issue too. i fixed it by changing it from 16-bit to 8-bit.

Well, it's fine now. I still have it set to 16-bit though. Software rendering is now enabled. I was always against software rendering but I guess that's what it needs to work.

The frame rate wouldn't drop based on the monitor's refresh rate. Just anything above the rate your screen refreshes could be considered wasted frames.

You could not post a new thread because on this forum, you need to have posted at least one reply before being able to post a new thread.

What you are looking for is called a "tracker". Modplug (http://sourceforge.net/projects/modplug/) is a popular tracker, but there are others around too, which can be easily found via for example Google.

And welcome to the forums :)

It's now called Open ModPlug Tracker (http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=100385).

Not really, you can still get the original MPT from the site

Also, Schism Tracker is quite the better, if you want the fastness of tracking
