Mysterious Performance problem with Lockon FC

[Ghostrida9]

Ok here we go, I got a big performance problem wit Lockon FC 1.12B, something must be very wrong, the Game runs perfects and very smooth for about 5 second, then it start to stutter for about 5 sec

then again it runs smooth and again it stutters, and so on, the mysterious thing is, that the HD light is not flashing when it stutters, no sings of loading at all and no matter if i set all tha graphics to High or Low (for example terrain preloading, vis. range and all that) its exactly the same, thats strange huh??? I run no mods at this time, its a clean install :Lockon, Lockon FC and then patch 1.12B (CD install)

 

Ok, the only thing that i got in my system start (boot menu) is a symatec firewall, I've unchecked anything else wit msconfig.

I'm not sure if my 4 gb rams is causing the trouble, 'cause i got win XP 32Bit and it just accept 3,25gb, anyway that should not be the problem,

(yea I know the reason and anything else about it I've checked any page on the net through the whole night)

 

I've also tryed to change any setting in my nvidia graphic card config, Anti-aliasing off, 2x, 4x, Antistrop filtering and anything, no matter if i change all the settings from low to High, there's still the same performance prob with Lockon FC

 

what else can i say..uhm yea, I got 4 Gb of harddisk space available at my master disk C:, Lockon is installed on drive D: (18gb of free space available)

 

I've also downloaded the latest driver version of my graphic card

 

Here's my system

 

Lockon FC 1.12B

Win XP Professional 32Bit

2 x 2 GB (4096Mb) DDR2 Aeneon PC-2 6400 (400Mhz)

Intel Pentium 4 541 3,2Ghz

Asus P5GC-MX/1333 Mainboard

M-Audio Interface (Soundcard) this is still a recording studio

Nvidia GeForce 7600GS 256 MB

Are your other games like this or does this only happens with Lock On? I would free up more space on C: as Windows needs space for it´s swapfile. Also, have you tried cleaning your registry? Download at the bottom of page: http://www.iobit.com/advancedwindowscareper.html

Also defrag once a week. Also consider to run a test on your RAM. Maybe try taking out a RAM brick to see if it is faulty. If not, do it the hard way, complete reinstall of OS. Format first. I think the problem here is hardware related, maybe a faulting RAM, but check everything else first.

Ghost,I had a very similar problem,I tried everything and it turns out that the cause was that i had a slightly older graphics card(X1950pro 512)the new driver's were actually costing me more then half my fps across the board!but it was most noteable in lock-on where it would do pretty much what you described(only it was a little longer between stuttering)once i switched back to an older driver and was all better as well every game I'v got geting a fairly big FPS boost :)

 

Different brand cards i know but i figured it was worth mentioning in case there's something to it for Navidia too(plus i have a similar system besides the card)

gd luck mate ~S~

 

Edit: could it be something to do with the external sound card?I have a lexicon interface but i make sure the onboard sound(still quiet gd) is used for games.
