Description Pablo 2013-04-21 01:19:52 UTC

Hi all,

I have upgraded to Ubuntu 12.10, this is my current conf:

OpenGL vendor string: X.Org
OpenGL renderer string: Gallium 0.4 on AMD RV730
OpenGL version string: 2.1 Mesa 9.0.3
OpenGL shading language version string: 1.30


I can play with no problem Team fortress 2 with oficial steam client, but the game has intermittently freezes each 3 seconds (aprox).
I have tried to modify the configuration in the game, FS, window, but same results.
Maybe Unity was the problem, so I have change to gnome default with no sucess
conky is not the problem, so I guess is something wrong in the video driver.

system specs:

amd athlon x4 640 @ 3ghz
ati hd4670  512mb ddr3
4gb ram 

There is no error message or something during game, just the freezes that make the game unplayable.

I have tried to run it on console but I cant because I dont know where steam download the game and the instruction "steam steam://rungameid/440" start the game but with no debug info.

any further question just let me know.

Try a newer mesa. 9.1 has significant performance improvements for TF2.

thanks alex,

I have tried this conf by Oibaff ppa

OpenGL vendor string: X.Org
OpenGL renderer string: Gallium 0.4 on AMD RV730
OpenGL version string: 2.1 Mesa 9.2.0 (git-dbb6908 quantal-oibaf-ppa)
OpenGL shading language version string: 1.30

game runs very well... I can guess +30fps at 1680 x 1050.

I will close this case, thanks in advance
