What you can do is kill all processes running in the background. You can try kill the Antivirus - for me, this gave me a significant boost, but it doesn't neccesserily need to and make sure you have as much ram available for the gameplay as possible. Unfortunetely there is a small group of people like you, who would love to play games on higher graphic settings but at the same time, they are on the RAM limits.
#Quake 4 steam low texture quality update
PC players usually don't update GPUs, they update RAMs, cause they are cheaper, so more people even on bad PCs can still play the game if it's RAM restricted, not GPU restricted. The GPU is the most expensive part in the PC. Basically for the same reason other games use lowpoly models. Now I understand you are hating the game, cause it worked for you before, but let's see why they changed it.
Although you have kinda good GPU that could easily drive this on higher details, you are lacking RAM.
#Quake 4 steam low texture quality windows 7
Running on Windows 7 (I know, I know) Yep, so it seems exactly like what I was saying. Publicado originalmente por Scrapjack:My machine is: Except this used to run it at 60 stable FPS with everything set on high and it didn't look like Hexen 2.ĭid anyone else run into this? Is it just me? How do you fix it? It feels like i'm back in 2007 trying to run Gears of War on a very crappy PC with insufficient ram. On top of this the game is now far far more unstable, it stutters constantly (and the in-game fps counter always says 60, amusingly enough) and it's pretty much unplayable. Which i'm pretty sure is far below even putting Champions to the lowest possible setting. This last image is great, because you can see how some elements load their textures and some don't, like the gun is fine, the mipmaps on the rocks are fine, the rest somehow looks like quake 1. I'm using the exact same settings on the exact same PC i used before the hiatus, absolutely nothing changed, i'm pretty sure i didn't even update my video drivers.įurther proof that some textures load correctly and look fine: It's like the game selectively chooses not to load some textures, namely, most of them, and i truly can't imagine why. Syke, here's the exact same gun with a different skin. Yeah, it's not that high, BUT IT'S NOT THIS.Īnd you're probably thinking "Wow your pc must be really crappy if it can't even load the textures of a gun". "Medium is not that high" i hear you cry.
Now you may say, "you doofus, you probably set the textures to low yourself", but they're set to the highest I can get, medium. I would say they're set to low, but i'm pretty sure the game doesn't even HAVE textures this low. I haven't opened the game in a few months, picked it up now and suddenly it looks horrendous.
