Strange frames issue


Arrad

Recommended Posts

Hey guys.

Got a little problem with my framerates during playing. Oddly enough it usually only happens when I scroll over a lot of units. I got a 275 GTX and Vista 64bit so that shouldn't be the problem. I remember playing the game on an older Graphic Card and I never had any problems. I'm not the kind of computer tech guy, so I have no clue where to start looking for the problem. Would it help running the game in compatibility mode for XP?

EDIT: It's not that the game is unplayable for me, it's just slight stuttering. It's nothing serious but its getting on my nerves.

Bump!

This issue is getting really strange. I just played a scenario with a 3500 points russian army with infantry only. I had zero lag or framedrops, even if i set them up really close to eahc other.

Then I play a 1500 points scenario with few infantry and 5 tanks and there are the framedrops and the stuttering again. I seriously have no clue how that it possible. I really need help, sp if anyone of you knows the answer please go ahead.

EDIT: I noticed that this mainly happens when there are tanks around. When I zoom over the battlefield and there is infantry, nothing happens. As soon as a tank is getting visible, the framerate drops from 70 to 60 or sometimes 40 and then immediatly goes back to normal. Is that common? Is there any way to stop the tanks from lagging the game?

EDIT2: Okay its definatly the tanks that are spoiling the game for me. As soon as I press shift+v to hid them, the game runs like a charm.

I'm not sure what the problem may be. The tanks do have more polygons and textures than the infantry do. Are you using any sort of 'mods' with the game ? I don't know if there are any particular issues with any of the drivers. Do you know what version you're using with the GTX 275 ? For general CM (mostly because of CMSF) I've stayed with the 186.18's, but I've had someone else on this forum have those drivers NOT work for them under Windows 7 and the CMx1 series. The 190 series seems to be a bit all over the map in terms of performance and/or compatibility. I'm not sure if downgrading or upgrading your drivers will make a difference here.

Definitely check if you've loaded mods and possibly replace them with the originals to see if it makes a difference. Although a GTX 275 should have plenty of memory for textures of CMBB's size, there may be something else going on in terms of the engine with certain sized mods.

Definately no mods I'm using. I'm basically playing vanilla CM.

I just updated my drivers. Before I was using one of the 18XXX ones but switched to the newest one. Overall the FPS got better, but the game still stutters as soon as I see a tank. Though it just happens when I'm zooming in on them. I can't explain it. As soon as the tank is in my view, it takes a milisecond and then the fps jump back to normal. I have no clue how even ONE CM low-poly tank is able to lag this card while most modern games run perfect.
