Thats how long I have played the game of ESF.
3 years.
Thats how long my frame rate has been at a constant 20 FPS (or lower).
Kami Sama, a well respected ESF player who seems to have gone the way of the dinos told me that my performance will go up 100x if I got my FPS as high as 60.
Recently I ran into someone on the esforces forum by the name of Kenny83. I had asked him how he was able to get a constant 100 FPS. He had PMed me back giving me directions on what to do....sort of. I didn't really understand all too well. However, desperate to try one more time at getting my FPS higher (I've made several attempts. all failed) I decided to try once more.
Googled - half-life fps tweak and found nothing useful after several pages. I had just about given up. But then I decided to try askjeeves.com hoping I'd get better results.
Ask Jeeves - how do I tweak my fps in half-life?
The 2nd hit I found gave me some console commands that were still very familiar to me. Things like "fps_max 100" and such were listed. I've already tried all of them and they all failed. However, I found one command I have never even seen or heard of. No one even told me about it.
fps_modem 60
I put that in my console and BAM! Fps jumps up to 60. I was in sheer amazement.
fps_modem 100
That did it. FPS is now 100. Constant. My FPS has jumped up 5 times. I quickly went into a random server to play. It felt like I was playing in my own server. Everything ran silky smooth. It was as if ping didn't matter anymore.
My ping was at 200 in that server and I didn't even feel it...usually I could feel lag effects after 100 ping. It seems thats no longer the case anymore.
20 FPS for 3 years. Can you believe I was able to even play at that rate? And now its gone up by 5 times all because of 1 simple command.
fps_modem 100
So may this be a lesson to everyone with FPS issues. Give that command a try and make sure it's saved in your config.
