Las Ventures Choppy play.

[muleskinner]

The game plays fine except when either it is raining, there is a big car crash on the free way, or when I drive down the strip at Las Ventures.

 

Is this a frame rate issue? My system is.... Dell XPS 400. P4, at 3G dual core. Geforce 6800 graphics, 1G of ram. On board sound.

 

I'm not much of a tech head on computers but it seems that my system Should play this game well.

 

When it is raining is not too bad, but I have just about avoided the strip at LV. I dunno if its all the lighting or what ?

 

Anyone know a tweak that might stop this?

 

Thanks!!

Have you checked your "play" disk, by the way? For scratches?

Thats weird, how are your Drivers?, Try and reinstall them.

 

 

I have a 6800 GfX card (Normal PC though) and a single core AMD CPU, I get 25fps all the time.

The drivers were the first place I looked. They are all current with the latest direct x. Nothing I do seems to help.

Hey! I found a fix guys. It turned out to be my sound card. I have Sigmatel on-board sound. I googled Sigmatel and found the same type of issues. All I had to do was turn my sound device acceleration off. Plays like a dream now.

 

I hope this might help out someone else down the line.
