out of curiousity, what resolutions do you guys use?
is there anyway of checking your FPS/ping in game too?

Marc Grahamsworth · Jun 16, 2005, 09:27 AM // 09:27

1280x960 and AFAIK there's no way to check ping or FPS unfortunately...

1920x1200, runs smooth. No idea what FPS.

1280 x 1024, ping anything from 1000-300 since I play on US servers... doesn't result in much lag.

FPS average about 60

I use 1280 x 1024, maxed-out details on everything. I'd go higher, but my screen is one of those LCD screens which can't go higher.

As for checking your FPS, the best solution is the one above. Alternatively, search for and download a program called 'FRAPS'. It'll measure your FPS in all games, regardless of whether they have their own counter, as well as allowing you to take screenshots and even film movies of your in-game progress. I suggest that if you're after perfectly accurate FPS results, though, you use the game's in-built counter where available.

Yeah got stuck with such LCD as well, and to lazy to get a new one :P

And the game run smooth for me, think it also depends on the RAM and Vidcard you use. I have 1GB and a Gforce 6600
