GWX laggs

birdy · 03-17-07, 02:39 PM

hi all,

when i play silent hunter with GWX, i am very lagging. even when i play without the High setting, im still laggy when i am under attack and stuff. also the loading times are very long, when i start a mission or my campaign the loading takes over 7 mins!
but when i had GW and stock sh3 i had no laggs, and i think my system is also good enough ( i have a 512 videocard, pentium 4 and 1024 mb memory).
does any1 know how to solve the laggs?
thx

ow and another question: what is anti-aliasing and how does it work??

Better system than mine and not only lags near convoys

Try shutting down other programs running in the background
Usually helps

My card is slower than yours but I do not have anywhere near 7 min load time. Do a disc clean up and defrag. Sounds to me like the hard drive is hunting for files all over the place. See it that helps. It usually helps me.

Before you go out of base minimize the game to desktop.
crtl/alt/delete and then give sh3 a high priority!!

Good Idea. I use it myself as well.

And it's free.

And of course I keep the spyware out with "Spybot-Search & Destroy" and "Ad-Aware SE Personal" (both free).

I purchased "Diskeeper 10 Professional" for my defragging which is much better than the defragger that comes with most computers.

What program do you use to defrag?

If it's the native XP version then this only moves files to occupy the minimum amount of HDD space.

You need a program which actually moves/arranges the files by name, accessed date or modified date. Ideally defrag by way of name.

Norton System Works or O&O Defrag will accomplish this.

I get the odd short lock up and the loading is a bit slow. All this will be sorted out latter this year or next when I buy SH4 and hopefully the mod guys turn it into something better like GWX has done for SH3.
