ok so i have a pretty good gaming pc:

Intel Quad 9400 2.67GHz

2GB RAM

nVidia GTX 280

1TB 32MB/s SATA2 HDD

other games i play have shown a massive improvement in FPS from my last system, so i know this system is as good as it seems.

so why does my mxo appear to be running at like 30FPS?  i don't know how to get a real FPS value out of the game (is there a way?) so i can't say for sure, but i've written video codecs from scratch so my eyes are pretty attuned to fps, and it's 30 at best.  other more modern and more graphics intensive games run faster than mxo, so i'm a bit confused and i hope there is a solution.

so whats the deal? is this the way it is for everyone?

and i have the latest drivers; they just came out a few days ago.

i don't know what the deal is but i can't spend 5 minutes in any west. zone without getting offed by an agent.  i'm the appropriate level for the given zone and i have hacked the access node.  i know that being zion means there's always a chance an agent will show up -- even with the access node hacked -- but i thought it was a small enough chance that i could go 5 minutes without getting killed.  this has happened 7 times in a row already and i don't know what to do.  the zion missions (archived or standard) always send me out there, and i've done every contact mission in the safe zone.  so i don't see how i can level any further except grinding on gang members -- but i'll never play this game again if that's the case...

just when i was really liking this game and getting into the groove with it, now i'm totally stuck.  anything i'm missing or is the honeymoon over?

thanks,

ok so i select kung fu for close combat (cc) and set guns for free fire (ff).  sometimes using guns slams my fighting style out of kung fu and into basic self defense.

now, i tried what was suggested to me in-game (use kung fu for both cc and ff), but hey, i want to shoot from ff.  even so, i DID set it up this way to try it out.  even then, whenever i use head-butt or cheap shot, they put me back to self defense style.

so anyway, i'm going to see about setting up some macros -- it looks like i can do that.  but is there an easier way to fix this?  plus, this game has been around for a while now, so i find it hard to believe this is a bug and not a feature that i just don't understand...
