Random freezes and lag
« on: 26-09-2010, 17:09:59 »
Hi,

I have had this problem for quite some time now but before, the freezes were short and didn't occur as much so I never tried to fix it. But now, since I've got the new Windows7, this problem has become a very big issue. I always get a 30 seconds freeze when having loaded a new map and opening the spawn menu. But it gets worse. After that it will randomely freeze with certain actions, like getting out of a jeep or whatever and now it even starts when doing nothing special. My screen freezes up for 30-60-90 seconds while the sounds still play and it's all fine again after that.

Now, with FH2 it was still playable. But I just installed PR again to play with the lads but last round I froze up every bloody minute. It took 2 minutes to raise the sights on my weapon before freezing up agáin.

Very weird stuff, I don't run too much background programs and my computer should run BF2 (and does, vanilla) without any problems. FPS is always 70-100 and CPU usage an avarage of 10-15%.

Windows 7
Intel Core 2 CPU 6600 @ 2.40GHz
ASUS P5K PRO
2046MB RAM
GTX260 Core 216 896MB

Could it be perhaps some components (I really don't know shite about computers) are breaking down?
I'm also noticing that performance of simple tasks like running internet explorer while installing something has gone down quite a lot, while that was fine when I just bought this computer.
Also loading of maps (in BF2 and other games) has slowed down. A year ago I would load BF2 maps within 30 seconds; now it takes at least 2 minutes and sometimes randomly takes like 5-10 minutes.

The weird thing is, this only happens in FH2 and PR. I can run games like Crysis perfectly fine on high or even very high settings. Yet my PC can't seem to handle a shitty 5 year old game.  :-\

I can do the same thing on my Pc, defragging helps, you may need to clear your caches as well
