ET not running smooth

by betaa • 15 Oct 2010, 21:55 • Journals
Hello,

i recently upgraded to windows 7, after running vista for a while.
ET always ran perfect, but now that time is over.

im having 76 fps, the priority of ET is set to realtime, im running on 4 processors, i installed direct x 10 and upgraded to the latest video driver.

but it plays like i have a very big fps lag or something. ET is just not running smooth.
does anyone know this problem? and how to fix it?

if you need more info just say so, thx in advance.

try other graphic drivers, that helped for me.. at the beginning I didn't get 76fps stable with a hd5850 :/ I changed drivers and then obviously problem solved ;)

set ET on core 4
spread all other processes on core 1-3

I got 125 FPS stable on any map, with
Phenom II x4 945 3.00GHz
2x2 GB Corsair memory
Ati Radeon HD 5770

How to put ET in 4 core? :X

task manager (taakbeheer)
right click on ET.exe
affinity (affiniteit instellen)
choose 1 core (wijst voor zich toch)

I would choose core 3 or 4 to run ET, and set all other program affinities to the other 3 cores
ezbash

al geprobeert maar op een of andere onthoudt hij dat niet, telkens als ik ET moet opstarten moet ik dat weer instellen, de prioriteit onthoud hij wel is het beter om hem op realtime te zetten of gewoon op hoog?

sometimes it helps to only use 1 or 2 cpu's

Use 125 fps, if you can!

My new desktop can't make 76 fps to look smooth anymore. My laptop shows it fine (with same monitor & same cfg). Maybe it's a driver issue...

At least it looks like you are warping a few centimeters, if you are moving around corners (wall "is" lagging).

Damn, i use 125 fps now and it runs fine.. thanks man. so stupid i dindt try it jet.

This always made my ET lag like shit. Try setting it to High.

check your graphics driver settings, turn off threaded optimization and turn down other options

my ET doesnt save the 8cores all time..
when i start it up, i have to set 8 cores again etcc
