Severe slowdown with B3D and MD2 after v1.88

Blitz3D Forums/Blitz3D Bug Reports/Severe slowdown with B3D and MD2 after v1.88

That's good news Doiron,

I happen to have a dual-boot system so figured I'd check it out. I get 30 FPS with .B3D and 60 FPS with .MD2 and v1.98 on a ATI 9600XT.

However I did find something rather interesting that may be of help to anyone using XP/Windows 2000. The Omega Drivers which are based on the current ATI drivers, DO NOT!!! have the slowdown issues that the regular CATALYST 7.1 exhibit.

using a standard install of v8.3.330 (CAT 7.1), I was able to acheive 30 FPS across all of the tests regardless of Blitz version or Model type used.

I doubt Mark's got the time to research the reason behind this issue, but at least that gives people another workaround for the pre-Vista ATI systems.
