Summary

0000212: OpenGL Crash - Garbled Messages and FPS Drop

Description

After installing Windows 7, I was playing on-line and after a seemingly random period of time, the FPS rate dropped from 10-60 FPS (depending on the mod) all the way down to <1 FPS (around 1000-20000 ms per frame). Also, the HUD/HUDMessages started garbling up (losing characters, e.g. "M n gunn r" instead of "Minigunner"). I thought that I wouldn't be able to get any help out of this, but today, I managed to stay on a server while the problem occurred, then eventually, the game crashed. Hopefully, this resulting report is relevant to the problem.

Additional Information

I have tried to fix this problem before. I set the compatibility settings to Windows XP (my previous system), going to GL compat mode, using GLDirect, and re-installing Skulltag. None worked out very well, or they introduced some undesirable side-effects.

Notes
(0000714) TIHan (reporter) 2010-12-10 22:15	These issues are GZDoom related. One way to be sure, try to run a few intense levels in the current GZDoom.

(0002522) Minigunner (reporter) 2012-01-22 19:38	Well, I figured out the problem. For one, I have a bad video card (ATI Radeon x300), though that runs Skulltag fine. However, the real culprit was a memory overload. I was playing resource-intensive mods with only 512 MB of memory. Fortunately, I have upgraded to 2 GB, and I have never had any more problems. Feel free to close this.
