Guest Silverspoon Posted September 25, 2005 Report Posted September 25, 2005 First of all, I know my isp is good--i've had it for a long time and i used to play continuum on it way back when with no problems at all. Now, whenever I go to a place with more than about 2 guys, namely the base in trench wars, my game lags so bad that I can't even move my ship. What do i do?
Guest Silverspoon Posted September 25, 2005 Report Posted September 25, 2005 let me add that when tracing the trench wars zone, I have 97% packet loss to 2 of the hosts.
★ SOS Posted September 25, 2005 Report Posted September 25, 2005 The problem seems to be with your computer. I'd bet half of my left hand that there's simply some other program eating up the computer resources from Continuum. Try closing everything else. I could also be that the video card drivers are messed up. Try updating them. Also update sound card and DirectX drivers. If this does not help, give us your system specs. (The best way to do this is start->run->msinfo32 and then file->export from inside the app)
Guest Silverspoon Posted September 25, 2005 Report Posted September 25, 2005 my computer says that it's only using about 4% of the recources when i'm playing--I'm pretty good about removing spyware everyday. I recently have updated the video card drivers and I'm now installing the latest directx, though I think I already have it. I'll try sound card too, but in the mean time here are my computer specs.computer_info.txt
Guest Guest Posted September 25, 2005 Report Posted September 25, 2005 update: directx update didn't do any good.
★ SOS Posted September 25, 2005 Report Posted September 25, 2005 Hmm... is software emulation checked in the advanced options by any chance? Try those "no clipping" and "avoid page flipping" checkboxes, maybe they'll help. Also try start->run->dxdiag and see if hardware acceleration is disabled maybe. (Although I guess you'd notice it with other games too then... but doesn't hurt to check ) By the way, are you using some Dell-specific drivers or the official NVidia ones? (I'm just curious since I saw "(Dell)" written in the adapter name. Although if you are, you could try the official ones.) Do other games work fine? Also, try shutting down all those Norton thingies and RealPlayer thingies and everything too (if you already didn't). Those can cause this too, not only spyware. PS. Congrats, it's been a while since I've seen a system info listing that has no spyware listed in it That looks all good for me, the computer should certainly run Continuum fine.
