Erwin Rommel Posted July 16, 2005 Share Posted July 16, 2005 Its been awhile since I played CMBB and I decided to install it on my new computer I built. Well it installed fine,I patched it up and put my mods in. I started a mission and the game would jump and jerk something fierce.The camera movement was not smooth and was real jerky.As was the game when I would watch a tank moving or infantry moving.They would be jerking across the terrain.Almost like the game was hesitating for a minute then continuing. My old system that ran it fine was as follows.. P4 1.8Ghz CPU 768 MB memory GeForce Ti4200 Vid Card Santa Cruz Sound card My new system is as follows P4 3.0Ghz CPU 800Mhz FSB 1024 MB memory GeForce FX5700OC card Santa Cruz Sound Card I have tried different drivers but get the same results.No other games that I run do this and everything else runs smooth as silk on the new system.Only the Combat Mission series wont run on it well. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hpt. Lisse Posted July 16, 2005 Share Posted July 16, 2005 Things to try: > Disable anti-virus software when playing > Disable "AGP Fast-writes" in BIOS > You mean an "OC'ed" FX5700? Return the card to normal speed. > What mobo is it? This is WinXP? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erwin Rommel Posted July 16, 2005 Author Share Posted July 16, 2005 I dont have any Anti-Virus software running.Thats all turned off.. The video card is the version that is overclocked by the factory not by me..I dont mess with overclocking. The motherboard is an ASUS P5P800. I do use WinXP Home Edition which is the same one I ran on my old computer. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hpt. Lisse Posted July 16, 2005 Share Posted July 16, 2005 Did you use MemTest to ascertain whether or not your sticks of RAM are good? In BIOS, do you see any AGP/video settings? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erwin Rommel Posted July 17, 2005 Author Share Posted July 17, 2005 Well I got the game running as it should. I had to turn off the ambient sounds in the game.All other sounds are on. I took my computer to a local computer shop and they tested the parts for me and they all came back fine. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schrullenhaft Posted July 18, 2005 Share Posted July 18, 2005 A Turtle Beach Santa Cruz sound card should be able to handle the 'ambient' sound within CM just fine. The latest driver I can find for the card is a few years old, v. 4193 (dated 6-27-03). Ambient sounds tend to put a significant load on the sound card since it is a continually playing/looping sound file that's fairly large. However with sound cards like the Santa Cruz this shouldn't be too much of a problem. You definitely have any on-board audio (if there is any) disabled, is that correct ? Have you installed any chipset drivers for your motherboard (Intel, VIA, SiS, etc.); perhaps there is some sort of PCI contention issue. Do you have any other PCI cards installed or PCI bus devices built-into the motherboard such as Firewire (IEEE-1394), a modem, etc. ? It's possible that the older Santa Cruz drivers may not like sharing IRQs with other devices (though ACPI forces this - as it would have on your old P4 1.8GHz motherboard). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TufenHuden Posted July 31, 2005 Share Posted July 31, 2005 I had the same problem too-go into msconfig and quit some programs you don't need running that might help, we have simular rig except I had a 5900 FX 256mb at the time I built new rig. what's your mobo? Mine: P4-3.0 Ghz Asus P4C800E-deluxe 1-Gig PC-3200DC Corsair xms ram Vid card-had Gainward 5900FX 256mb GS Now-Asus 6800GT-256mb CM was working awkward on new rig- went into msconfig.exe stopped some apts and then it worked fine XP is a resourse hog there are other apts to in XP to be shutdown too....
