I always get really slow games(5-20 when people are in sight)
Here are my specifications
I have a ATI radeon 9250 128mb graph card a 750mhz intel celeron CPU and 504 mb ram with about 750 in virtual memory.I've tried the improve fps/ping guide and it doesn't seem to work.
I am running it in 640x480 windowed mode, am running version 1.00 and also sometimes the background and textures look white.
Please help if you can.

Doesn't matter. Works independent of the gametype etc.

I have one last question..........
Well, on youtube i saw somebody's video where it was him vs 7 cultists.
I was wondering if i can make that kind of battle in solo mode on the multiplayer program.
I've tried but i don't know how to stage a fight like that in solo or 'create a game'.

Yeah well, in that case i don't think there's much you can do to increase performance. Your system can only work as fast as the cpu can allocate it information.

I'd suggest keeping settings for dynamic lights, geometrical details and wall marks etc to as low as possible. However, you may want to try and gradually increase the texture quality and resolution, since it shouldn't affect your cpu as that much.

Actually it was always like this,it's playable but it is slow.
The graphics settings are set to low and no detailed shaders.
And yes i know i can only play on 1.00 servers i just prefer them over 1.01.
Also i have patch commander for JKA so i can switch back to 1.01 when i need to.

In my opinion, your graphics card should handle the game just fine. However, your cpu seems very slow which is probably the reason for the lag. I havn't tried to run a q3 game on a 700mhz machine yet, so i'm not really sure how well such a game would run.

Did you ever had playable fps on your system before? Or was it more of a general, sudden decrease in performance?

Oh and btw, without the patch you'll be restricted to playing on 1.00 servers which is a minority of the overall servers available right now.

I have updated it and switched back with patch commander and i enjoy version 1.00 more.
The fps is the same in version 1.01 and my drivers are already updated.

I'd recommend updating your game.
Also, make sure you have the latest drivers installed.
