bad lag problems

August 13, 2008 3:24:07 AM from Sins of a Solar Empire ForumsSins of a Solar Empire Forums
hello all, i would first like to say hi and that  i am new to the forum.

anyway, the game seems to be lagging pretty bad. i have fair specs to run this game. does anyone have any advice?

im running windows XP sp2 on a upgraded dell dimension e510 desktop.
1.5gb ram
3.0GHz Pentium 4 processor with HyperThreading
geforce 7600GT 256mb 128bit PCI-E card.
im running the game in 1024x768 resolution.

im not sure what could be the problem. i have the latest drivers and such. is anyone else having these problems with similar specs?

technical

What exactly is "lagging pretty bad" ?

With the number of AI opponents and fleet-sizes SINS is capable of even the latest CPU's (and yours isn't exactly up-to-date) are feeling the "crunch"

Based on your specs, I would try turning some graphical options down, playing with small fleet-sizes and not playing too many AI at the same time or your late-game will always be laggy.

Also, when there are large fleet-battles taking place don't zoom in too closely...

well im talking about even as soon as i start up a game it lags with only 2 or 3 fleets. i guess i can try turning down the graphic options and maybe even the res.

edit: i found the problem... my graphic drivers were not installed properly and had 2 different drivers installed at the same time. the game runs smooth now.
