Russo017 Posted February 11, 2007 Posted February 11, 2007 Hi all! I've always loved flight sims and decided to try this one out. I was just curious what you all would recommend for me. I currently have the demo and am getting everything from stuttering to artifacts. My setup is the folowing: A64 3500+ Venice 1GB Corsair DDR400 CS2 (2-3-3-6 1T) BFG 6800GT Audigy 2 zs Platinum 2xWD360GD (36.7GB 10000rpm SATA) 1xSamsung 250GB Windows XP Professional x64 Edition BE QUIET! 475watt PSU FASTWRITES OFF! (I know this one ;)) I mean i generally run linux, linux is on one raptor... windows on the other and for those who may be a bit slow that means i DON'T have raid0. I assume that you all aren't gonna recommend i wine this game :music_whistling: Anyway, as i said i'm running the Demo right now of FC and i'm getting lots of stuttering and artifacts even at the lowest settings of both video and sound. I've tried several simple things. I have a fairly recent driver. I upped my pagefile to 3GB and tried running the game at high priority. Anyway... I still have problems. I read on this forum that x64 XP isn't ideal for this game. Or 64 bit in general for that matter. I kind of want to install and try out vista (i'll go 32bit if it'll make a difference) or i can just install 32bit XP. I get both legal and free through MSDNAA so it doesn't matter. So, are there any recommendations? Or experiences with vista etc? Is my computer enough to run this game? Is it just 64bit causing problems? Is the demo glitchy? Thanks for your time ;) D.
Kuky Posted March 2, 2007 Posted March 2, 2007 Well first of all, sorry for the late reply... if you're still reading this thread try to set CPU affinity for LockOn.exe in Windows Task Manager... that might remove most of the stuttering. And it might be possible that LockOn runs on WindowsXP 32bit better then on 64bit version... but I don't this... maybe someone who has the 64bit and running LockOn on it, can add to this.

VMFA-Blaze Posted March 5, 2007 Posted March 5, 2007 I had it running on XP Pro 64 in Dec.. Well ..I didn't have any problem with the graphics, But I did have a controller issue.. I mean the stick doesn't have 64 bit drivers... Now I've heard that if your running Vista Office 64 that the driver issue has been resolved.. but I don't really want to personally take that step yet on my gaming system... I've ordered the Vista upgrade from MS for XP Pro 32 and 64 and when they arrive I will install Vista Pro 64 on my AMD 64 3200 PC and give it another try... ~S~ Blaze intel Cor i7-6700K ASUS ROG MAX VIII Extreme G.Skill TridentZ Series 32 GB Samsung 850 Pro 1TB SATA II ASUS GTX 1080/DIRECTX 12 Windows 10 PRO Thrustmaster Warthog Oculus Rift VR
