Quake epsilon not running smooth

[ank]

Hi

I dl'ed Quake Epsilon from here: filelist · games.on.net
The game looks very nice, but it's unplayable on my computer because of lag spikes.

It occurs regardless of the resolution and graphic quality I set. If I enable the framerate display I see like 100-130 fps, which briefly drop to 30 fps when lag spikes appear.

Is there anything I can do to make the game run smooth?

My graphic card is Nvidia 8600M and I'm using the latest drivers and Windows 7..

Well this would be the best you could get. This "Epsilon Edition" is a thrown together pack which ist firstly illegal and second not optimised for your machine. You're running it on a notebook as far as i could see. Best way is to get a "naked" quake, darkplaces and add the candy you want by hand (it's all here on the forums) and decide which to use and which not (fps killers...).

thanks, I think I found the problematic packs, "qr_quakebestiary_edited.pk3" and "qr_quakebestiary_normsandshader-medium.pk3".

It seems to run smoother now. There still are some moments when the game lags, but they are not that frequent anymore.
