Red Faction Guerrilla Lag
Last response: in Video Games
Hi guys, just got Red Faction Guerrilla. It's a great game the physiques in this game are really fun especially blowing up buildings ![:sol:]( ":sol:")
. The problem is that the game takes a minimum of 90% of my cpu power ( got the reading from my g15 LCD). And, it freezes for 5 to 15 secondes when I blow a building up. I'm wondering if it's my specs but think I have a reasonable rig :
CPU :e8400 @ 3.6Ghz (I used the app that came with the mobo, think it's called Easy Tune Build 6)
GPU : Sap Vapor-X 4870 1GB
Mobo : GA-EP45-UD3P
RAM : G.Skill Pi Black Ed. 4GB
PSU : OCZ StealthXStream 600W
Any ideas why this lag is occurring? BTW turning down the gfx doesn't change anything.
Thx, Mojito

I've read on the Steam forums about people having issues using dual core CPUs on this game (as opposed to quad cores). Personally I have a Q6600 @3.3Ghz and the game runs great. I also tested it on my laptop which has a dual core and it still runs great.
A couple of questions I would as is what OS are you running and have you tried the game in windowed mode. I think running it in windowed mode on Vista can help unload some of the work from the CPU to the GPU or something like that.

A small tip that worked for me - When the game is running, pause it and open the task manager. Find the rfg.exe process, and check its priority. For some reason, it seems to default to above normal. When I put mine back to normal, everything ran fine after that, no matter what I blew up and how.
Give it a try, and see if that works for you. If it does, the only bugbear there is that you might have to do it each time you run the game. but hey, it runs fine on my E6600 with 2Gigs when you set it like this.
Be warned though, ymmv, so you might not get the same results. Worth a try though.
