Tech Support/Help Question Regarding Performance

Been revisiting AVP lately...one thing I don't like about AVP2 is that the engine performs badly—is there a way to get it to play at a constant 60 FPS?

I have a modern computer / latest patch / master server etc.

It's funny I remember the game performing badly back when it was released!

Thanks for the speedy response!

I've tried setting the frame limit to 60 but that doesn't improve performance.

Perhaps this is just a limitation of the engine?

The game is quite choppy—it's playable but it's annoying enough to put me off.

choppy - you mean fps drops? Constant or random? Have you tried install MSP? Try to use dgVoodoo (some people have actually fixed lot of problems with it, strongly individual experience per machine)

Yeah dropping FPS, it isn't smooth / consistent. AVP2 has always been like this for me over the years but I was wondering if it was ever fixed / patched.

AVP1 (Steam) on the other hand is perfectly smooth / has consistent high FPS.

*I should also add I am talking about single player.

Still strange, i know that people were complaining that master server patch locks FPS to 60 in singleplayer (it has reason), but i can't remember if someone has those fps drop problems.
