GWX freeze ups..........

[Slick Rick]

Well I started with a clean install patched to 1.4.....downloaded the files into one folder and executed .....however ............I am seeing an unusually long time on boot up.....and the game stutters in port.....and freezes on me at other times for no apparent reason.....not good for the enjoyment factor so far.......Anyone else having similar problems.....

Disable any unrequired background tasks as well to make the most of the CPU and memory. I have found that especialy effective. I also have something called 'Memturbo 4', it's a payware, for the full version with all the cache tweaks etc. But there is an evaluaition version. If you don't already have it that is.
One other thing which has helped a lot, in ports and also in the midst of large convoys with smoke and searchlights all over which adds load to the agp and processor, is to disable the 'adaptive anti-aliasing' in my Omega game profile settings. I still have everything else turned up full, AA - x6, AF-16x, high quality on the texture preference and mipmap etc. My system, Asrock mb, Sempron 3000+, ATI 9800 pro (Omega drivers), SATA HDD, 1.50 Gb memory.

I also use FS Autostart which disables all background programs and services you don't need and defrags memory before launching the game.
It's freeware and very useful. Also think to defrag disk once a week and remove unnecessary files from system/registry ( I use CC Cleaner )
