now whats the funk?

Well first I would say you don't have enough RAM installed and the second is that you have an integrated videocard with only 64mb of memory. I would suggest at least 1 gigabyte of system memory installed and at least 256 mb of memory on a stand-alone video card. These are only suggestions but anyone running an integrated video card is going to have problems with AH.

All the Best...

It might not hurt to let them know your type of internet connection, and what if any of Skuzzy's fixes from the Stickys you have already tried.

On my old computer, Skuzzy's Stickys (in threads above these, at the top) worked WONDERS.

Also, let them know what your graphics preferences are in-game, and that you do have multiple sound pack sounds that you have picked and chosen to puild your sounds.

And thanks in advance for those helping my squaddie <>

With that onboard video chip, you need to minimize a few things in the game.

In the "Video Settings", make sure you set the "Maximum Texture Size" to 128. Do not run the resolution higher than 1024x768.

In the game's Graphics settings, check all the options that have the word "Disable" in them.

That should help.

Ditto what others have said. Your Celeron CPU doesn't make for a snappy gaming rig. You might want to consider building a gamer system. $700 - $1,000 will do the trick.

Allen Rune i have a squadie with a integrated videocard, heres what we did to get him to run better FPS. up your computer memory to 2 gigs at lest. after that is done go into the game goto options on your clip board then click graphics then move the top two sliders to the mid settings.

one thing is for sure is you need a better computer. them memory upgrade is only a bandaid and will get you by till the next patch for the game.

On board sound, on board video, and a then you have the intel celery. Son, that system is taxed!

Btw, I have onboard sound and for some stupid reason it is working exceptional. My be the e8400 processor and the total lack of anything else on the comp. Bet I'll have to buy a sound card once I start loading a few things on it.

On another note, you may want to run some antispy ware and us FSauto to shut some processes down.

That's all I know.
