I found this interesting. Renegade gives you the option of choosing between 3 texture resolutions, but you can edit your registry to bring the graphics down even more. You can get it to look like Mechwarrior 2.

My system still manages to go even slower in this mode for some reason...

Oh yeah, I edited the W3D so it loads the texture from the beta. I thought it looked better that way. I guess that isn't the "normal" image then.

I wonder if using this resolution will allow me to play more than 2 games in the pits before my frames start stuttering...

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Westwood\Renegade\System Settings\Texture_Resolution

Integers 0-7 (0 being high quality,) my shots were taken on 6 because 7 crashed my system. The Game.exe claims that 7 is a valid option though.

cell shaded renegade is more like it.


But, even at that low rez, you were getting kinda low fps ...

I get high 30's on large online games with gfx maxed at top quality

Half Life 2 isn't out yet, you couldn't make Renegade look even half as good as Half Life 2 (or any other modern game) if you put it at it's maximum settings.

Setting 7 doesn't work for me either. but on setting 0 I get 60 FPS no matter what I do. Even when i detonated 30 remotes it only went to 55 for a split second. I wonder if anyone actually runs Renegade in that mode. I could run Renegade at 40 FPS on a Voodoo 3 200 around medium setting.

Got to Start - Run. Then type in regedit (Which is short for "Registry Editor"). And just follow the correct path that is listed above. You'll find it.

Oops. That's not what I meant to say. I was saying that Renegade with low-res textures makes Renegade at max details look like HL2.
