Freezing issue...

[Jonte]

Well I got "driver cleaner pro" and cleaned my new nvidia drivers out. I then tested them again with the same problem. I cleaned them out AGAIN and installed nvidias 78.01 drivers and the game runs stable! I think nvidias new drivers stink...

By the way I have a framerate between 10-20, is than normal? Can I increase it?

Thanks for all input!

Well that would depend on your computer specs.

BTW what kind of sound hardware do you have.

The only time I had a problem with this game was due to my on board sound.

I went into dxdiag and turned sound acceleration to basic. Since then it has never crashed on me.

Please give us your computer specs, this will aid in finding the best fix for the least bucks! I have 2 computers, both have the same problem when near large convoys & it's not the video, both have only 1gig ram & the best way to fix this would be an increase to 2 gig! I haven't bothered as the slow down is not bad enough to warrent the extra expense. Once again IMHO.

Processor: AMD Athlon(tm) Processor 1.1 GHz (I know it's to slow!)
RAM: 1024 MB
Graphic: NVIDIA GeForce4 Ti 4600(128MB)
Sound: SiS 7012 (Think it's onboard sound!)
Mainboard: MSI 745 ultra
DirectX 9.0c
XP +SP2

Forgotten something?

Actually the game works nice, with nice smooth graphics. The only problem being stuttering during torpedoehits, explosion and harbortaxiing. Can this be fixed without buying a new machine? Do you experience the same thing? I can live with it though as it's a great game with the mods...

This is not too bad for a Ti4600. You can increase it some by reducing the particle setting in the game options. I always ended up running older drivers on both my 4600 and my 5600, (but not the 6600) so I understand your position on newer drivers.

I had already lowered particles down to 20 which made the gameplay smoother. I now lowered the particles down to 10 and 5 which made the game unstable again!? It seems that when I get the gameplay as smooth as I want it, it gets unstable and freezes...

Should I uncheck the high quality textures?

Also explosion particles don't seem connected to the particle setting, just smoke and waterspray? This make my game suck in the single mission Bismarck!

Any suggestions?:hmm:

Put it at whatever setting works best I would set it as high as it will comfortably run. Good luck with it.
