Legacy Slowdown

[TaZeR]

Hmm weird I run zDoom at 640x480 and it runs smooth but I put Legacy at 640x480 and it runs a lot slower although I now like Legacy more I dont like that it runs slow sometimes I have to switch to a lower reslution to play smooth, wats up with Legacy that it runs slower at the same res?

I wasnt using the open gl i was using normal software graphics,its not so slow that I cant play it but its annoying when its that slower.

I have a p2 233mhz and 64 ram thats why it slows down but it doesnt go slower on zDoom at the same resolution.

Meh....my software mode runs fine, but I run it on MiniGL.

It's the same for me.I run ZDoom at 1024x768 no problem,but Legacy at only half that 512x384 for the same smoothness.It's just the way they are.

Legacy sucks, get PrBoom

[stphrz]

I like all three major ports (ZDoom, Legacy, PrBoom). Ironically the one I have most trouble with is PrBoom. It occasionally shoots when I press the right mouse button (which I have configured for "move forward"). Other than that little niggle, I have no problem with any of them.

Legacy windows version is a bit slower than zDoom in windows software mode.. such is life... :/

If it nags you try the Dos version instead.. runs fin in windows mode, afaik it's a bit stabler than the windows version of Legacy aswell.

A 2 meg vid card is far from normal nowadays.

It's probably normal for the age my grandparents grew up in.[/sarcasm]
