Honda_Boy Posted July 18, 2006 Report Share Posted July 18, 2006 (edited) double check for any processes eating up too much memory in the background also has any hardware changed since it last played right. Double check the game's settings too. On average I get as low as in the 40's with my Athlon 64 3500+, nForce4 SLI x16, 1GB RAM, GeForce 7600GT CO sytem on the settings I have. I have everthing on high at 1280x1024 (my Acer AL1917's native resolution). I have reflections set to just world, no HDR, no AA, Trilinear filtering.Is that chaintec thing your sound card. whatever your sound is that may be the culprit.

It provides a fair ammount of Sys info. Not as good as some but better than many.Emsa FlexInfo Prohttp://www.snapfiles.com/reviews/Emsa_Flex...o/emsaflex.htmlPreston Quote Link to post Share on other sites
