FPS problems

[goirdin]

So I first encountered an error were the game wouldn't run at all. As soon as I joined a server it would crash with "The Nvidia OpenGL driver detected a problem with the display driver and is unable to continue. The application must close." I was able to fix that by running master sword in windowed mode. But now I get 20 fps while in game. The weird part is if i press Escape and bring up the menu, I get 60 fps while the game is still running behind it. But as soon as I close that menu, back to 20 FPS. Any help would be appreciated.

That's different...

What Graphic Card and OS?

And the usual advice: Update your graphic drivers (nvidia.com), check out Yonder Thread for Sad Panda Puters, stop using Vista/7 for games, and send fresh babies to Gabe Newell.

Graphics Card: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 460M
OS: Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit (6.1, Build 7600)

Only computer I can use for gaming is this, so windows 7 doesn't work so well with MS?

I'm using the same OS and a slightly less powerful GFX card. Unless nvidia stopped supporting opengl with their higher-end cards, I don't see where the problem is.

Have you tried making sure it's set in opengl render, and turned the bloom off?

 

[goirdin]

It's definitely in opengl and I'm not sure where to check the bloom settings.

Ok, I found the bloom and turned it off and i'm back to 60 FPS in game. Thanks!

Hrmm.... So bloom broke it, eh? I think that's one of those mobile Nvidia models - they can be a bit screwy. I'd still check in with yonder page to make sure you get a clean set of drivers - something funny be going on thar.

Win7/Vista tend not to like OpenGL applications, because they can't do real OpenGL, but work it through an emulation layer instead, which causes all sorts of oddities, not to mention performance issues.
