|
 |
Hey there... most of you must've think.. OH NO, NOT ANOTHER F.E.A.R. thread, but I think I may have a different problem...
The game ran fine from stage 1 through 2 (until the end of stage 2), but when I start the 3rd stage (spoiler: when you jumped down from a platform down to the drain-age), that's when the problem started, it ran fine for a couple of seconds, I can move and such, but after a good 20-30 seconds, well, to be more precise, duringr the captain and the female colleage talked to me... , the game would lock up on me!
My setup is as follow
WinXP SP2 (updated to the latest hotfixes, that itself could be a problem)
DirectX9c (can't esacpe that)
BFG nVIDIA 7800 GTX (81.84 Forware)
Audigy 2 ZS (Creative Sound Blaster Audigy unified series Beta driver with OpenAL support 2.08.0002 (24.99 MB) 21 Sep 05 )
2GB of RAM.
I am not sure about my motherboard BIOS, but maybe I should check on that.

Well, I solved it.. I let the game judge mysystem.. which comes down to medium...
which is odd though, I though I have a pretty powerful system
DFI LAN-Party NF4 SLi-DR
AMD64 X2 4400+
2GB RAM (OCZ Value)
BFG 7800 GTX
It went down from maximum to Medium.. though I had no problem running at Max before :S no slowdown/articat/lag :S
But that's how I solved it....
