No Phong, and DX9 Problems.

Yeah, I have an ATI Radeon Xpress 1100, and a 2Ghz CPU.

I've had TF2 for a while now, and I've never had Phong, or Animations. I managed to get the Animations working with a custom autoexec. Also, when I run the game in DX9, quite often (but not all the time), my Particle effects don't work.

So, I was wondering is there a config or SOMETHING, that can get Phong working, and particle effects? And whenever I hear the dominating sound, or revenge sound, I crash. Is there a way to disable that, as well?

Thanks.

EDIT: Oh, at the moment, my game looks like this: http://i243.photobucket.com/albums/ff31/superxao/cp_gravelpit0027.png

But, I want it to look like this! (a friends): http://img132.imageshack.us/img132/9518/7300gsopt2wb7.jpg

Apparently that specific graphics card is pretty shit and causes problems :(
You should pick up a Nvidia 8500GT 512MB DDR2 graphics card for about $80USD. It should get you 40FPS at least in-game on full high settings! :)

Good luck!

a 8500gt only gives u 40fps? im running 7600gt and im getting close to 100fps normally!

You changed from 80 to 100fps I see :P

I'm just guessing thats what it will run on everything high. Guessing. Keyword: GUESS :)

Lol, I would upgrade the card... but I'm on a laptop :-(

SO! Is there any config's or anything I can use to enhance the graphics?

Mainly Phong :p

80-100 fps fo shure, sometimes i would get the occasional slowdown at 40fps, everything on high except for AA (x2) and filtering (x4), bloom is off, and running in windowed at 1152 x 864 (playing this on the 17" CRT), when the res it put it and playing at full screen i would start feeling some lag :)

sry xao, i dunno how to fix laptop graphics problems, i would tell u what i would usually tell my customers at the store *ahem* "sorry but the game is too graphics demanding, please upgrade your computer buy purchasing this gaming system we pre-built here"

Lol sorry man, really dunno how to fix that prob.
