So I have a Acer Aspire 5100 laptop with an AMD Turion 64 X2 TL-50 1.66 GHz processor and 2 gigs of memory. And I have an ATI Radeon Xpress series video card, either 128mb or 256mb, not sure. Vista installed. I'd say this is good enough to play renegade on a decent level. However, I do not get more than 25 fps at any given moment, at a lot of times it even drops to below 15 fps.

Any ideas how to increase my fps? I have already tried shutting down all unneccesary processes.

We'd need a bit more info:
* how many players?
* more info on that video card: a 256 MB shared memory video card is useless, compared to any similar dedicated video card. This is most likely to be causing the problem as well
* what's the reaction time of your screen?

You can find me in The KOSs2 (TK2) discord while I'm playing. Feel free to come and say hi! TK2 discord

The amount of players barely makes a difference, when there's like 4 people I get 25 fps max, when there's 40 people I get 15 max.

I don't seem to able to find my vc specs lol...

you can also try hitting ` key and entering togg should come up with toggle_XXX enter it and it will raise you fps by like 20.

yeah the complete command is toggle_sorting, however, it won't be quite pleasant all the time

Lower your detail settings as much as you can bear to.
