Starting a game

[Matthew]

Okay, everything loads fine, but I cannot seemt o hit Start Game. Nothing makes me start. My e740 record button makes the menu pop up or hide, showing the demo underneath, but I cannot get into the game.

Help!

Isn't there a rolly jog dial on the left side of the device? If so, push that in. If not, try other hardware buttons. If nothing works then you'll have to bind a key in the autoexec.cfg file as the enter key, I think the function is called "+use" so like: bind BUTTON "+use"

Its so fricken slow when playing. Any way to speed it up?>

Thanks

edit the autoexec.cfg file. This is just about the fastest config settings around. with explanations.

r_maxparticles "0" //maximum onscreen explosion particles
d_mipcap "4" //sets a maximum quality for all textures, close or far
set d_mipscale "4" //maximum scaled quality of distant textures
precache //loads sounds before map starts to eliminate ingame pauses
r_drawviewmodel "0" //doesn't draw your gun
r_maxsurfs "400" //limits rendered surfaces
r_maxedges "1600" //limits max edges rendered, maxsurfs*4=maxedges

mipcap and mipscale are very important values. mipscale lowers the quality of distant textures, mipcap is the the best quality a texture can be, no matter how close. Zero (0) is the highest quality, Four (4) is the lowest. The settings here have all textures the lowest possible quality regardless of distance.

Also make sure your running your e740 w/ that ROM patch, it will boost your FPS by 1.0 or so.
