BVE problems (2.5 and 2.9)

[cjh401]

Hi

Just thought that I'd finally get round to asking people a couple of questions:

1) In both BVE 2.5 and 2.9, I get significantly lower frame rates than people on this forum and others. I cannot see any reason for this. I have a Pentium 4, 1.5Ghz, 512 RAM, 64Mb Geforce2 Graphics, XP.
The only thing I can think of is the graphics card being old, but that should not have a drastic effect if it still works. I only get 6-7fps in to BNS in both. Any suggestions?

2) In 2.9, when playing routes the sounds that are played as doppler, announce, and as train run sounds, all come out with interference (like breaking up in mobiles). This really confuses me, as they all run perfectly in 2.5. HELP!!

Cheers

Try lowering you drawing distance to 200m, on my 667Mhz I could only get 12-14fps with drawing distance at 300m! Now, on my 2.53Ghz, I can get 12-14fps with drawing distance at 600m at BNS!
