I get 35 to 40 fps on my Amiga 4000, 604e 233mhz, with Prometheus + Voodoo3 3000.

Which demo did you timedemo?

PS. Timerefresh is useless as benchmark, the actual speed depends on the location you're at (face floor and you get uberhigh framerates).

The timerefresh published should be done on the default starting position.

timerefresh, even if from the default starting position, is still very limited benchmark. timedemo is much better, and gives much better idea of the actual framerate during the gameplay.

Yes, I have installed the updates.

There are no other PPC/WOS apps running.

I use WOS 5.1, Warp3D 4.2a.

I don't think it's a cooling problem. If I play from beginning I don't get a Exception and can play for one or more hours.


do you have "menory protection" disabled in WOS pref?
and try to disable waitstates (at least for PPC) in the memory section of the BPPC/CSPPC early startup menu.


I disabled "memory protection" in WOS prefs.
Then I put the RAM settings to No Read/Write Waitstate for PPC and 68k. The result was the same as before: PowerPC Exception.

Then I put the RAM settings to Read/Write Waitstate for PPC and 68k. And now it works.

really? how many fps u get then?


Sorry could'nt tell you how many I get, I just know it plays fine without any stutters or lag unlike that waste of money heretic 2. But anyway is there a program that displays FPS or do I need to use a command?

in console:
Code: [Select]

timedemo 1
map demo1.dm2

Once the demo is done, the result will end up in the console.

You'll prolly also want to run the demo2:
Code: [Select]

map demo2.dm2

(there's some disagreement which demo is the "industry standard" demo to run, so it's better to run both)

@Bamiga2002

Finally somebody with the same problems. I was asking myself if I was the only one.

Did you try the powerpc.library 16.1 Beta and the different PPC RAM settings ?

What config dou you have ?
