Annoying stutter

[Vintage]

The game has started to stutter all of a sudden, I gather that its my FPS being to high (as with quake 1 and 2 but all i had to do was turn on vsync) but Quake 3 does not have this option (the only closest thing th option of frame sync but it doesn't help.

Very strange. Command correct.

This:

r_swapinterval 1

and then:

vid_restart

also do not enable VSync?

Try to type this when you are in game, not in menu.

Also in console VSync ON:
r_swapinterval 1

this appears to have fixed it for now, the game runs pretty smooth with no stuttering so far, thanks for the help on this

HF =) But 60 FPS it is very bad for Quake 3. Try to fix this in future.

I still get pretty bad stuttering on the menu but in game the stutters don't happen ast much, i'll keep looking

Try to ask this on Quake Live forums, because most quakers switch to it =) I tryed Quake 3 on modern PC and OS and it work great rly except input lag Win10. IDK. But i think problem something there: Win10+drivers+power saving.

seta r_primitives "0" can also cause massive framerate drops on modern hardware

So in case of fps woes open q3config.cfg and use: seta r_primitives "2" instead.

Sadly it doesn't seem to have improved much, still get pauses and fps drops (from 250 to 160-70ish when use com_maxfps 250), also when unchecking the option of gl_exstentions it lags far more frequently (which never hapened when i first intalled it) ,so I have to keep the steam overlay off
thanks for the reply though

If really to say i found now this microstutters to on Win8.1. On Win7 all ok. OpenGL killed my M$ since Win Vista. Quake3 use very old OpenGL 1.3 version so IDK. But game run perfectly on any modern Linux distribution.
