Very Slow ,very Slow !
 

:D Hi all:D !
I've just bought the SH4 and was looking forward to it .
I installed the game , even the upgrade launcher i used.
But when I should start the game it react so slow , not on the map ,but in all other ways .When I used the mouse the arrow react soooo slooow . I don't think it is the pc , I have 1024 RAM on it .What is it I'm doing wrong:damn: ???
thanks for all help:lol:

Sh4 is Cpu,Ram & Video card hungry.

What are your computer specs ?

1GB RAM is low for SH4, 2GB is recommended and works much better. Also, what else do you have running in the background? If you have lots of other apps/tasks running at the same time, they can drastically slow things down.

As firewall mentioned, it would help a lot to know your machine specs (cpu type and speed, graphics card type and VRAM, OS version).

It >>> IS <<< the PC.

My old PC with SH4 - 1024 meg RAM, AGP based graphics card took 3 minutes to load the game, took 4 minutes to load a saved game. The mouse pointer was always hard to control.

My new PC [about 3 weeks old now] has 3 gigabytes of RAM and a so so PCI-e little girl weenie graphics card - Nvidia 8500 GT w/256 onboard RAM .....
Takes about 20 seconds to load a game. To load a saved game, it takes an additional 10 seconds or less. Mouse pointer works flawlessly.

The difference in the graphics? Breath taking.

Start shopping or start upgrading.

i only have 1gb of ram. it was running slow. so i doubled the size of my virtual memory.

A slow mouse is a dead give away your machine is too slow or too overloaded with auto-starts or high game settings.

It is >>> NOT <<< the PC.:lol:

Seriously, the PC with the specs I posted in the thread below, would load the game & saved campaign files in under 30 secs, with no slow downs during gameplay and a steady 40 FPS with 4 x AA/AF.

Now of course, if you can't maintain a healthy PC with no more than 25 processes running at one time, you can expect to have poor performance in any game.;)
