Do you have the v436 patch for Unreal Tournament?

Also, get Detonator 40. They're supposed to be better.

And make sure it's set to the appropriate hardware renderer and not "software".

Aw yeeeahh boiiiieee - that did it man, the Detonator 40s now earn me 70 fps in UT at 1024x768x32. Which I still thought would be higher, but no matter, it's happenin now.

Check out the multiple desktops in nView and tell me how it is. I'll be down for a few hours tonight as I wipe my 60 gig drive of the filth that is Red Hat 7.2 and install Windows XP.

Spoke too soon. Ghost Recon still bites it. I'm thinking maybe it's an application problem this time. There's talk of work on it from the developers. The 44 Megs of patch (!) I downloaded did NOT fix the problem yet...

w0rd! So I installed XP, and everything's working great EXCEPT sound, which I can't tolerate. I need sound for Q3, and I need Q3 on this computer because until I get the gaming box done, I need to play here.

So my question is this - what could be wrong? Yes, I've been through the troubleshooter. Everything there is fine. I've updated the driver via Microsoft's driver update, the speakers are plugged in, the SB Live! is set as the default device, all that shit. Sounds look like they're playing, I just can't hear anything. No, nothing is muted.

What's up?

This is a contest to see whose system will fail in which different quirky unpredictable ways.

Beats me, Dave. If it were Linux I could probably fix it. :]

Gah! Latest det are ugly! Go one version back, far safer.
