Soldier of Fortune 2

[soto487]

I installed my graphics drivers (I know because I tried reinstalling and wasn't able to cuz it said "This package is already installed") and I installed Cedega. I type in

cd /usr/local/games/sof2

then

cedega sof2mp

It loads up the game but its EXTREMELY SLOW!!!! What is the problem?

What drivers? Nvidia? If so, did you edit your /etc/X11/xorg.conf so that in the 'graphics device' section the Driver is listed as "nvidia" instead of "nv" ?

Not I got an ATI Radeon 9200SE... and I havn't done anything to any configs, last time I did, (yesturday) something went wrong and the PC screwed up and I had to run the Recovery CD for FC3. and I have the drivers installed becuse when I got o ati.com and download the 1st driver it says its already been installed.

Also, if someone has installed XFree86 4.1 Version: 8.10.19 drivers for a ATI Radeon 9200SE and has done the xconfig's and has it working perfectly without any lagg when playing games like Soldier of Fortune 2 with Cedega nand is running Fedora Core 3. Am I able to just copy your xorg.conf file and it'll work? if so, someone please help me out.

I don't use ATI for gaming so I can't help you there. If you will check the forums at Transgaming, I think you'll notice there is a very heavy leaning toward Nvidia cards over ATI for gaming. That likely is the result of most of the problems that folks seem to have while gaming under Cedega originate from them using ATI.

ATI makes really great cards. It's a shame they don't give the level of support to Linux users as Nvidia does.

There has got to be someone in these forums that have ATI...

I have ATI 9200SE!
Try installing drivers according to this: http://www.fedorafaq.org/#radeon
If you want, you can try and install 8.10* drivers by downloading needed thing from here http://rpm.livna.org/fedora/3/i386/RPMS.unstable/
Warning! Those 8.10* drivers for FC3 are still UNSTABLE!
Hope that helps!

Also try the fglrxinfo and check if it says something like: ATI Radeon 9200 (And not Mesa something) and glxgears, and check what FPS do you get! (I got about 800)

yum install ati-fglrx kernel-module-fglrx-`(uname -r)`
