Game Lags So Bad, Almost Comes To A Halt; Especially With Fire

[mujzeptu 0]

Ok, so we are having a lan and want to re-live our glory days with BR:WOTW.

We all have fairly recent pcs (ranging from months old to 3-4 years old) and it seems like mainly the newer pcs have this problem the most.

Basically, it doesnt matter what settings we have the game on (visuals) but if there is like 8-20+ units on the screen, especially using fire, the game LAGS so bad it slows down it basically halts! Besides combat, the game appears to run just fine. Is there any way around this? Does anyone else experience this?

I have:

3.16ghz core 2 duo

4GB RAM

ATI HD 4850 w/ 1GB ram

raptor disk, etc, etc...

Obviously its not a lack of hardware, but is there compatibility with new hardware? Can you have emulation or any kind of 3rd party app make it run better?

We are running the latest patch, on Windows XP, etc..

I'm on Server 2008 and I'm not experiencing this.

Do you have the latest driver? For your Video Card?

The problem is with ATI graphic cards (the newers anyway). If you have another older video card (or one integrated on the motherboard) try using that.
