Unreal Tournament 99 too fast!

I installed unreal tournament g.o.t.y on my laptop and when I turn it to play, everything is too fast, it's not playable at all. When I set compability mode to "windows 98" and change nvidia control panel settings to "antialiasing mode - override any application setting" and put "antialiasing setting to 16xQ" i get a slover game, but its still to fast. when i turn on "anistropic filtering to 16x" game is too slow, but less than 16x is way too fast. I can't find the balance between those things. Meybe somebody has a sollution?

Video card : Nvidia Geforce 8600m GT, newest drivers from laptopvideo2go.
OS : Windows Vista Ultimate x64

 

The problem is that the game's speed is determined by your CPU speed, and it adjusts on startup based on your current clock speed.

Then you get some load on your CPU from the game, and speedstep boosts the CPU frequency up, and the game runs too fast.

The solution is to disable speedstep before launching the game. This can be done using RMclock. Check out the undervolting guide for more details on how to use RMclock.


If you're super lazy like me you can just like, play some music or whatever while playing, just start it before launching the game, to make sure your CPU frequency is already at the top.

 

Cheap way - Windows XP power profile to always on
Windows Vista power plan to high performance
...though your computer will be pumping out a lot of juice for no reason.

 

I don't think that disables speedstep in XP... not sure about Vista. That controls standby, monitor, and hard drive settings, not CPU frequency AFAIK.

 

For me these two options put the CPU at the highest multiplier (if I'm on AC + no advanced settings have been changed)

 

I guess the OP will just have to try, I certainly could be wrong.

 

I tried Vista power plan changes, didn't help. I will try undervolting with Rmclock when i will have free time. But is it really a problem with cpu speedstep? when I change my video graphics from D3D9 to SOFTWARE RENDERER everything is fine with speed, but the resolution, graphics and colors are terrible....

 

You don't need to undervolt, you just need to disable lower power states. And yes, this is the problem, my girlfriend and I used to play UT GOTY on our Inspirons (1520 for me, 1521 for her)

 

can you tell me how to do that step by step? I don't really know what to do exactly...

 

Just go to the undervolting guide, and towards the bottom, there is a section... "Extra! Locking CPU to full speed/throttle"
This is what you're looking for.

This assumes that you are only gaming on AC. If you game on battery as well I would set up a new power profile (as seen on step 3 of the undervolting guide) and make that lock the P State for both AC and battery, and then just set Windows to boot up to "no management" and switch to the custom power profile (UT99, or whatever you want to name it) when you want to game.

 

Thanks A lot!

 

this happens on dual core amd systems. i had the same problem, alls you have to do is force it to run on one core. i am currently on a single core system, so i cant remember exactly how to fix it, but its through the control alt delete buttons then you right click either on the program and the process and set the affinity so its only on one core.

 

tried to set affinity didn't helped. anyway am using inter core processor not amb.


I don't know what is wrong, I set "use p-state transitions" on battery ant AC in profile max performace. I put a tick on index 7 on both of them, turned on maximal performance profile the circle in system taskbar became red, but the game still runs too fast... nothing changed. what do I do wrong? meybe i need to reinstall the game?
