Slow video with snow
vB post 151825 - 02/03/09 09:14 AM

When running through Alogr's level 5 and and any other level with snow fall the video is very choppy. I am running a quad core with a BFG 9800.

Grapic Settings:
Windowed at 1440x900
Anti-Alias off
Foliage 10
Specilar Light yes
Light Bloom 3x

Any ideas?

TIA

I have the same problem but I have it fullscreened and everything else off. So I dunno.

Try to lower the Foliage and turn off Specular Light and lower the Light Bloom to see if there's a difference.

I have had the same issue, although I'm blaming it on having shared video memory..

Anyone with a dedicated(256+mb) video card have any fps issues at the same place?

XP or Vista? 32 bit or 64 bit?

I'm running on a Dell Inspiron E1705 laptop with the following:

Core2 Duo 2.16GHz processor
2GB 667MHz SDRAM
Nvidia GO 7900GS 256MB

I run the game with the following settings:

AntiAlias = 0 (I force it in the Nvidia Control Panel)
FoliageAmount = 10
Fullscreen = true
FullscreenHeight = 1200
FullscreenWidth = 1920
Gamma = 5 (brightness)
LightBloom = 2
Specular = true
UISize = 1
VSynch = false (forced on in NVidia Control Panel)

Generally speaking, I rarely run into any fps issues. I have, on occassion, had slowdowns in snowing zones, but never consistently.

So, in my case, I'm running on hardware that's older than yours and less powerful, but at a higher resolution and with fewer problems. Why? Have you tried a clean driver install, is your system optimized for gaming (no processes running in the background, defragged, etc...)?
