FC2 freezing frames during gameplay

[BattleAxes Skinner]

Just installed FC2 with the 1.2.1 patch.

 

Am having a slight problem with the gameplay due to freezing frames... as in, it's not as seamless as on the videos that i've been watching on youtube. Am running the game at MEDIUM graphics level.

 

Here are the details of my rig:

Sony Full HD LCD

Windows 7 64bit

Intel Core i5 2.53GHz

6GB RAM

ATI Mobility Radeon HD5470 1GB

 

I suppose the specs meet the ideal requirements.

 

Am i missing something here? :huh:

I think "ATI Mobility Radeon HD5470 1GB" is creating a bottleneck as it is an entry level card built for laptops.

No I think I know what you are experiencing. Is it that it freezes 'random' for like half a second/second and then goes on?

If so it's most likely the mission text messages. They lag the game like hell for me. Don't know why, could also be server related but it's quite annoying.

Yup YorZor... it freezes like random for half-a-second & goes on... it really kills the fun... have been reading other threads about FPS problems the other guys are facing... what they call the "stutter", is it the same that am terming as "freezing frames"?

 

and am experiencing this while playing the quick mission with the f15 where there are no text messages... so dat is ruled out.

do you have instaled into c:\prgram files\fc2....??????

If yes, try installing into a new folder, but not into program files folder... maybe something like: C:\FC2....

and always use it with the checkbox "full screen" selected, in options.
