TAW_Mcvittees Posted April 20, 2007 Share Posted April 20, 2007 My system: Asus P5B-E MB E6600 Core 2 Duo 2GB RAM Nvidia 8800GTX Nvidia 97.94 drivers and 158.19 Downloaded the demo, max settings @ 1680x1050, played first training mission and everything was buttery smooth, but when went to second mission it became stutter city??! Loaded FRAPS and checked FPS; I'm getting about 5-8fps with above settings, and upto 10fps with all settings at Low @ 1024x768. Tried using one core but this slowed things down even more! Gone through the various tweaks suggested in this forum to no avail. Due to the very poor performance I'm getting I must be suffering from a rather drastic incompatibility. Will try a reinstall this evening and see if that helps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
handihoc Posted April 20, 2007 Share Posted April 20, 2007 Exactly the same problem here, with almost exactly the same system specs (just slightly lower Nvid 7950GT512 vid card). Brand new top level pc, (XPMediaCentre, sp2 - don't trust Vista yet) but it would barely run the demo after the first tutorial mission. One core or two, makes barely any difference. CPU usage is shown as a constant 100% (which is worrying. Can it take that kind of strain?), and the game is so slow as to be unplayable. I've tried all the suggested tweaks, like you, and nothing helps. I'm downloading the full game right now, but am not hopeful it will be any better. BF, this is obviously a serious issue for many of us. Laying out big money for a top spec system, in large part in anticipation of ToW, and finding it won't run. There's a major incompatibility somewhere in the prog, surely? I have no problems with other spec hungy games and applications.Are you on it with a fix?

handihoc Posted April 20, 2007 Share Posted April 20, 2007 Thanks Moon. I/we appreciate the hard work you guys are putting in, and have been putting in for so long now. I'm a longtime BF fan, from CM Overlord onwards. Just so frustrating for the game to finally arrive and then . . . . . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluescreen2 Posted April 20, 2007 Share Posted April 20, 2007 @moon, will you fix the demo too? because the demo is unplayable for me and i wont buy the full without playing the demo with avg. fps. look at the dualcore thread for more test infos from me. thx. blue Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moon Posted April 20, 2007 Share Posted April 20, 2007 Yes, if we'd update the game code we're also going to put out a new demo. Martin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cougar_DK Posted April 20, 2007 Share Posted April 20, 2007 I just changed my resolution from 1680x1050 (screen native reolution) to 1024x768 and the FPS is nearly the same when looking at the units in the first single player battle (don't remember its name) i.e. non campaign.

Percopius Posted April 20, 2007 Share Posted April 20, 2007 Seems that the grass settings made a real big differnce for me. Did you try rolling back the grass setting? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same with me, which makes one think that it's not to due to our graphics cards being incapable but some kind of program compatibility issue.

Cougar_DK Posted April 20, 2007 Share Posted April 20, 2007 It seems that the biggest FPS killer right now (for me) is the shadows. So I'm right now playing with out. I havn't played around with the grass though, mine is "Normal" right now. It seems there is something eating up cpu cycles, beacuse other games like Armed Assault, Supreme Commander etc. runs just fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
longbore Posted April 20, 2007 Share Posted April 20, 2007 Im have the same problem with very low frame rates. Im getting 4 to 8 fps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TAW_Mcvittees Posted April 21, 2007 Author Share Posted April 21, 2007 Solution found to my woes here: http://www.battlefront.com/cgi-bin/bbs/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_topic&f=66&t=000083#000001 Basically, turn off dual monitors in Nvidia control panel. As a workaround this is brilliant but I hope this gets sorted so I won't need to always reconfigure my displays to play TOW. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluescreen2 Posted April 21, 2007 Share Posted April 21, 2007 @taw_mcvittees, i only switched the andvanced nv setting hardwareaccelaration = one monitor, instead of dualmonitor, so my second one is still running as before, but without accelaration, which is no problem, because most games are played on monitor no.1. give it a try, so you dont have to re-arrange your icons etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
