Hello There,
I play Ultima Online (3d) and I'm looking for some help with what Drivers & their Settings which would give me the Best Preformance for the Equip I Have. I also have DSL with 1700 kbps & Ping 6 to 11 on average. There is no frustration like having people run past you as if you're standing still. I tend to think i have a good Gaming set up. Can someone help me? I Thank You for your imput!!!

I Have:
Abit AV8 939 socket Motherboard
AMD 939 socket Athlon 64 3200+ Processor
Hitachi Deskstar 160GB 7200RPM Hard Drive
ATI Radeon 9800 Pro 256 DDR Ram Video Card
Sound Blaster Audigy Sound Card
Kingston Duel Chan DDR KVR400AK2 1GB Ram

Isn't Ultima Online still using 2D graphics? Are you sure that your ping to the actual game world server is 6-11ms? Just wondering because it shouldn't be the graphics that are holding you back.

Hello Again,
Ultima is run in 2D or 3D client. Years ago there wasn't the choice. Then the 3Rd release, Lord Blackthorns Revenge, which introduced 3D Graphics became availible. I've played 3D since ( Hate 2D ). Anyway, I am sure about my info reguarding Ping & Bandwidth. There are multiple servers all in diff parts of the world. So happens there is a Napa Server & i live in Napa. Theres a trace route utility called UO Trace that polls various servers per your choice. I have 12 hops and the range is from 6 to 11. I beleive i have good componets. This is really a frustrating situation. I'm sure all online Gamers can relate. Please if there is any info you might be able to give in reguards to Gaming Performance (Tips) I'm all ears. Thank You for your time

Good to hear. I was on UO back in its early days and think I used that UO Trace tool wich was reliable. I guess there's some problem between the 3D client and the graphics driver then. For testing, see that AntiAliasing and Anisotropic Filtering is not on in the driver controls or in the 3D client settings if there are some. Also, do you know if this problem has been occurring for a long time or perhaps began after installing a new driver version?
