Unexpected Lag...

Hey all, I just purchased BC2 off steam, and even on the LOWEST setting it's almost unplayable with 10-15 FPS. MY PC specs are:

NOTE: I game at 1680x1050.

Core 2 quad q6700

GTS 250

4 GB Ram

Vista 64

Anybody?

try updating your drivers. because this is game very well playable on my 8800GTS 640MB.Shatilov

Well, i updated to the latest drivers and it didn't seem to help.

hbao isnt on is it?

My guess is its your GTS 250, bottlenecking. Its a rehashed 9800gt. Try running dx9 and see what that does. Failing that reduce the screen res might help.

I haven't played it but there are few things you could try.

Update Display Drivers. Update Direct X.

Turn off Shadows.

Turn off anti-aliasing.

Turn off V-Sync.

Play at 1440*900.

Your card should have been able to run it. May be there is some hardware issue. Either your card is not getting enough power or the RAM modules have some problem.

Edit: Vista 64-bit is known to have issues with many games. It may be the culprit.

[QUOTE="ChiliDragon"] If it is, running the game in compatibility mode might help. TC, when you installed, did you right-click and run the installer "as administrator"?ChiliDragon

Thanks for all the info! The updated video drivers didn't help, however i will try updating DirectX and post back when that is done.dared3vil0

Well, I updated DirectX and it didn't seem to help, this is getting odd...
