F.E.A.R Demo

[MEGAWATTZ2000]

I hope this isn't a repost, but am I the only one who experiences when opening any door in the game a sudden lag. I can't say it's video, because it runs fine once the door is already open. I don't see any hdd flashing so it isn't loading from the harddisk, I wonder if this is just a minor glitch in the demo itself ..

Games did that to me in the past when I either was loading too much or I didn't have enough ram

try messing around with the dynamic lights or something, usually has an impact

Mine did this before i cranked up the CPU.
I had
C2D E6300 @ 1.86Ghz
2 Gig of g.skill
Gigbyte DS4 mobo
Radeon X1900GT

Stuttered like crap when opening doors.

When i cranked the CPU up to 3.1Ghz it ran fine...

Now i dont think that CPU speed was the problem because that machine is pretty good at stock considering that FEAR is a year + old now. It was more a case of throwing more raw power at a problem with bad coding/bugs until it went away.

So i would say:
Its not a ram problem as I got it with 2 gig of g.skill.
It's not a CPU problem... its a code problem BUT throwing more CPU power at it willl make it less noticable.
