[SOLVED] Too laggy to play

[evilGUI]

Hello, I just bought H2V and multilayer works fine 150-223fps but in sp the frames are only around 3-8fps making it unplayable my specs are:

Athlon 4000+ X2 2.01ghz
1GB of ram
BFG 7950GT
ASUS M2N SLI DELUXE (motherboard)
Windows Vista Ultimate

Also if I pause the game for about 2-3 minutes it becomes fully playable.

This PC is 100% clean. lowering the resolution does nothing even with everything on low the same thing happens

I had the same problem until I upgraded from 1GB of ram to 2GB. The game is really inefficient at loading the SP levels. You'll get that slow framerate and slow loading at the beginning of the level because it's pretty much using ALL of your ram and going into virtual ram (HD space). Once I upgraded to 2GB, the levels load smoothly as they should. It's not a graphics or malware problem, just lack of RAM.

i use to get that problem. instead of uping ram i just ready boost 1gb and it works great

H2V's single player cannot keep up if the framerate numbers are TOO high - you'll notice lag despite a nice counter.

I have a Geforce 7600 GT and an Athlon X2 3800+ and 1 GB RAM. I should get insane performance at 640x480 on low, but the game is grossly unstable at that settings. At 1680x1050 on low-medium with 2xAA, it improves a lot.

P.S. Halo 2 for PC is a shitty port. Good game, but it's been translated to the PC in the worst possible manner.

I'm going to get 2 more gigs of ram when I get the money. Also I hope the next patch helps with this. and I'll try everything on high and hope for the best

I also recommend getting a extra gig of RAM, but you could try a Selective Startup (see sticky) which would get rid off all the background programs that could potentially hinder performance.

This isn't really a problem, the game has horrible FPS for me whenever I load a single player level, but I just stand there for a few seconds and then I'm fine. If you can't take waiting it out, then go ahead and upgrade.

The SP performance in H2V is worse than the MP performance (in terms of framerate, not server latency).
