i'm confused
« on: April 30, 2006, 07:23:14 PM »
problem i get is a game lag.

cyclicly - the frame rate goes from 30ish to 60.
When at 30, gameplay is silky  F4u1d rolls sweet.
When at 60, gamelplay is at half speed,  slow rolls, terrain scrolls by
slow, spikes and ufo's abound.

It will be at 30 for a minute, then 60, then back to 30 and so on.

I've eliminated tasks, turned off my firewall and av.  messed with the video settings.  with 60fps the above occurs.  with unlimited the problem changes but I suspect not to full functionality.  still get some jittery ufo and seems to me to be slow rolling as compared to the silky i see when it's at 30fps as above.

KV8-X  XP3000+
X850pro softmod to XT
Catalyst 6.2 drivers
1.2gig PC3200
SB Live 5.1
onboard LAN
cable

Games works just fine in BF2 and CS:S.  This one has me stumped.
