honjkirsen Posted April 18, 2012 Share Posted April 18, 2012 Hi all, I was struggling to get some of the larger scenarios to run smoothly with the meager spec i have which is:- win7 64, 3gig ram, dual core 2.5 celeron, 1 gig nvidia graphics card. after tweaking a little with the graphics card settings & game menu settings set to fastest rather than quality i found i could still only scrape through the bigger battles with 'trees off' and anything else which made it easier on the system. Then i found this little program down at cnet.com http://download.cnet.com/RAMBooster/3000-2086_4-10028673.html Its free and there is a little tutorial on youtube to follow which i found useful, after installing and trying it out i found it greatly improved the game performance, especially on larger scenarios. If anyone else is suffering from sluggish gameplay on larger battles give it a try and see if it helps. cheers 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SnakeTheFox Posted April 18, 2012 Share Posted April 18, 2012 God, 2.5ghz dual cores and 1gig GPU's are meager nowadays? I'm really falling behind. And I built this PC at med-high spec only a few years ago. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erwin Posted April 18, 2012 Share Posted April 18, 2012 Some power users have reported problems and some with lesser machines seem fine. So, it could be another issue. Component quality/compatibility? Settings? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thomm Posted April 18, 2012 Share Posted April 18, 2012 Isn't the patch supposed to help? Best regards, Thomm 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crushingleeek Posted April 18, 2012 Share Posted April 18, 2012 i think patch allows the use of 4gig ram, before it was restricted to less, regardless of what your system was operating with. how does this little program from cnet work? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted April 18, 2012 Share Posted April 18, 2012 If it helps, and it doesn't alter the game's files, then cool. A Celeron is plenty wimpy, sadly. If I had to guess it would either be your CPU or drivers that were letting you down. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lt Belenko Posted April 18, 2012 Share Posted April 18, 2012 I just bought an i7-2700 with 16 GB RAM. Video - 560GTX. Jim Carrey voice from The Mask... SMOKIN But I believe the game still uses 4GB max. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hessian deserter Posted April 19, 2012 Share Posted April 19, 2012 I am running 16 GB RAM. Back in January I bought a new rig with a 3960X Hex core that runs @3.3 ghz ,with a turbo frequency of 3.9 ghz. Video: Evga GTX 580 with 3 ghz. memory. A cooler master 1200 watt power supply and an H-100 corsair liquid cooler for the cpu. I also wanted a rig that would handle the latest Combat flight simulators[Rise of Flight,DCS A-10, Blackshark2,Cliffs of Dover, etc] and race car sims.[project CARS,R factor 2 ] 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
