Title: stuttering/warping
Post by: Kongkyuk on January 24, 2006, 08:41:14 PM

I just purchsed a new dell xps M170 2 gig, 1 gig ddr, 256 meg nvidia gf go 6800, xp professional, and i cant get it to run smooth.

I can play but it stutters when I shoot or get close to a con. I called dell, I ran it with only the game running, everything was off. I tried all diff, resolutions and textures, I downloaded the patches and the high res patch, I uninstalled and reinstalled, my dsl is perfect smooth, my variance is all over the place,even with nothing running but the game. The only thing I haven't adjusted is the intergrated 1 gig Network card, if I can that is. There is a glitch somewhere and I can't figure it out. Any suggestions???

If you have a bad variance while running offline, there has to be something running in the backgroud. Antivirus , spyware or some other resource hog. As far as the studder when firing your guns , you might need to turn ur sound accelleration down a notch. Go to run, type dxdiag, hit enter , go to sound tab , move slider one notch to the left and try it . GL   38

Is this a notebook?, if so kill the CPU power saving. Mine was in the BIOS.

That should fix it.

The will fix your problem, I read it fast the 1st time.. but I had the exact same thing; brand new kick'n notebook that appeared to blow chunks at AH.

I went through and turned off everything power saving related, now AH runs like a set of pouting 34D's with blushing pink nipples.
