Again, thumbs up guys for this great sollution. (i allready posted in the other topic on this :D)

Oke, back to the point why I started this topic. Are there more people with equal sysspecs as i have who have also problems running this game?
I can imagine why Paddy is running this game with everything at high and at 1920x1200. That is because your system is like twice as fast as mine :shock: .

Running 1920 myself without probems. Try the new 5.12 Catalyst drivers, they gave me (and other ATI card users) a nice performance boost in this game.

A friend of mine is running the game just fine (@1600*1200) on similar specs as yours (A64 3500+, ATI X800GTO, 2GB ram). So don't know what exactly is causing the bad perfomance on your system :? Maybe try updating the motherboard drivers and/or install Ati Tray Tools to tweak the GPU settings (after setting "Flip Queu Size" to 0 a lot of weird 'stuttering' problems on my system disappeared ..maybe worth a try)

Thanks for the tips. The newest catalyst drivers are allready installed on my system but the tray tool thingie is something i never heard of before. I'm going to try it out tonight. Also a motherboard update may be handy to do. I haven't done that in like a year now i think of it :D .

Keeping the mobo drivers up-to-date can prevent a lot of frustration .. I also learned that the hard way ;)

ps: you can get the latest version of ATT here: http://downloads.guru3d.com/download.php?det=733

It's a great app, it can even replace the whole catalast Control Panel/Center thingie (so less use of system resources, especially in comparsion to the CCC)

Good luck :)

I know. I hate CCC. I think its even less user friendly than the CCpanel.

Well, i have installed traytools now and i deinstalled CCP, and it does run better now. Only thing left to do is upgrading the bios. I think i'm going to do that this evening. Thanks for the help buddy :D .

With everything maxed out this game is a little jumpy on my PC, which is annoying. The framerate doesent drop below 30 (except when its at 1200x1600) but it just appears to jump every now and then.

I read on tweakguides that it was a bug in the code that meant it didnt run properly on dual core processors. Ive set it to run on only one core and still it jumps!

(specs of my pc are in the sig).
