Heavy lags!

Archived from groups: alt.games.operation-flashpoint (More info?)

Hey,

I'm playin OFP Res since a long time and I have damn probs with my
machine:
Tyan Tiger 760MP with Dual AthlonXP 1900+
Soundblaster Audigy (had a Nightingale Pro6+ before)
512MB

W2k and WXPPro SP2

Short after starting a mission when the first sound effects like
gunfire or explosions or loud engine-sound are coming up, then the game
hangs for 5-10 seconds. sometimes it works then fine but when another
loud sound occurs (spoken orders i.e.) it hangs again, sometimes I can
play then but sometimes it is jumping from one playable second to
another, broken by big lags. (understand? I'm german

Mostly on missions with many and/or loud sounds this occurs?

What is this?
I've changed the soundcard to an Audigy Player, hoping the best of
soundcards will solve it but nothing.
I've changed the OS, but it is the same!

What solves my prob?

Greets, Mike!

Are you using a pirated copy? Do you know about FADE?

If this is a problem that occurred with your old soundcard installed and
which was not improved by changing your soundcard (if I'm reading you
correctly) then I guess it's not a sound issue.

Maybe you need more RAM? I used to find OFP a bit choppy with only 512Mb.

Hey guys!

No, nothing like that!

I'm playing on original versions (I have 2 origs OFP and one orig
Resistance, its cheap already).
I'm playing with a Creative Audigy Player.
I have the same probs on W2k and on WXP, the last one I've installed
some weeks ago, where my old soundcard was never installed on.
I have 512MB, I think it should fit.
But I have a lot of addons in my ...\res\addons-dir, perhaps then the
memory is overloaded?

the prob occurs often while loud or new sounds short after starting,
what could it logically be?

Maybe it is the mainboard, maybe it is my dual-proz configuration. Its
a pitty, that really less games are supporting multithreading, it could
be used really efficient!

I am running Ver 1.91, for questions...

Greets, Mike

are you aware of the -nosplash and -nomap triggers when starting your game??
