Extreme lag when under "suppression" effect?

JungleJim · 03-22-2008, 11:35 PM

So the rest of this game is pretty awesome. It really requires squads, commanders, all that good stuff. Great mod.

Except for the suppression effect. Every time a bullet lands within a 10 foot radius of me the screen goes fuzzy, which is expected and perfectly fine. However, it lags up the game so much that I can't even move to get out of the way! I can't fire back, however randomly, I can't move, I can't duck, I can't do squat.

So what's the deal? Other than that stupid effect, the game runs smoothly and never gives me an issue. Why does it do it then, and how can I fix it?

Thanks

Hmm, i dont know what it is, graphics card?

seems a bit outdated.

Sorry, can't help you

Yeah, the graphics card is definitely outdated. I just don't want to afford a new one (got a car to build up. But, if that doesn't take all of my years salary at the job I'm getting into *only 17, so it's a low level job at a local restaurant*, I might pick up a new one.).

Any ideas on what settings I could lower in order to get it smooth?

Distance, definetly, I got everything on low, dosent really make a difference, just stops your card overheating, i advise you get Rivertune which sees how hot your card is in game, if it gets really hot, i advise you get a new one.

Well, I decided to experiment so I turned all the settings to either low of off except for view distance, which I left at 100%. Runs smooth now lol. Graphics card issue no doubt.

See, the effect is so cool when it doesn't lag so much lol.
