Everytime I open the game, I can't move, or I can, just it takes VERY VERY VERY long. Is there a way I can lower the resolution to make it so my computer can play? I can't afford a new computer, and I'm stuck with this.

Here's a copy of the Settings file:

::
// put all your personal settings in this file,
// and all your keybindings that are different from the default (see keymap.cfg)

name "Nenshou" // change!
team "blah"

invmouse 0 // 1 for flightsim mode
sensitivity 30
sensitivityscale 10

fov 105

musicvol 150 // set higher if you want (max 255)
soundvol 150

fpsrange 20 25 // *don't modify* unless you understand it fully
// on slow machines, try setting to 20 25
// on fast machines, don't touch

minlod 25 // on slow machines, try as low as 25 (bad visuals)

dynlight 0 // set 0 if it slows you down

gamma 200 // set to your liking, 100 = default

bind F6 showmip
bind F5 toggleocull

bind F8 "savegame quicksave"
bind F9 "loadgame quicksave"

// example WASD

What could you do.. well
How about telling us your computer specs?

All else I can say is:

Run on lower resolution (edit your cube_unix or your cube.bat for that)

Make sure you have all filters and fsaa and stuff turned off, and use 16-bit colour depth.

Another thing that might cause your problems is the graphics driver you use.. try either updating it, or use older versions. It´s called the 5fps bug, that occurs on some of the newer driver versions for the major cards (nvidia and ati)

Also try a search on the drivers for your gfx card brand here on the forums, might get you more indepth info on that (all i know is that on my machine, anything newer than detotnator 45.23 get s me that bug, just the very latest (77.72 or so) work fine again.

The specs on my Comp:

Windows 98, 320mb ram, 350mhz AuthenticAMD AMD-K6(tm) 3D processor (Sucks REALLY bad).

Video Card is Rage LT Pro (Agp 2x)

My computer sucks badly, but it's all I have. And how do I change the res in the Batch file? I don't quite see where.

Okay, I have it "working". I just need to know how to edit the Mipmatting so that it won't get choppy when I view a big part of a level.

How do I change it?

You mean lower the texture quality?
No option for that in cube, sorry.

You might find a tweak program for your gfx card that lets you turn it down a bit.

Opther options you have are not displaying the hudguns (command is /hudgun 0 ) and using
maxparticles 100.

Also turning the fov down a bit 90,95 or 100 might help your system a little.
