The memory leak (lag) SOLUTION!
« on: August 30, 2004, 05:21:57 am »
Memory Leak or CEL becoming sluggish problem anyway

When I first played the game it was so laggy(even with the update), I went on the support forum and noticed other people with the same problem s me so I decided to find a way to solve that problem.

THE SOLUTION ISSSSSSSS:
Uninstall the game then reinstall it.
Update the game
In the setup dont change anything
Run the game in slow mode (I didn\'t try the openGl mode)
Make an account ( ex. hruieopwr password: 123 )
If it still lags just redo the whole thing

Ya that\'s all...  boo stupid solution worked for me and my friend (after 2 or 3 time uninstalling the game blah) so dont complain if it\'s not working for you!

Enjoy the ... game :(

Dont confuse this with a  crappy comp with crappy vid card lag!

lol I dont really know maybe when you install the game there is a problem so when you reinstall the game over and over again you actually get an installation where everything works fine. :(

Worked for me, my friend and a guy on the server. I dont really know if its a memory leak problem but if you have problem with big lag ( ex: you are walking in town everything is ok and suddenly you have a big lag then you continue walking and no  more lag then again lag , no lag , lag , no lag ) I,m no pro lol so if you have that problem you did what I said and it works and you\'re happy well that makes me happy too :D lame!

it feels as though you just happen miss the lag storms by doing that.

of course it could be that a simple defragging would work just as well, and with out the hassles.

Sounds possible.

It doesn\'t. I was running PS from a fileserver on 10 MBps link with a swapfile on a compressed volume and had severe lag. Then I downloaded it to a completely empty and uncompressed harddisk, quite fast and whatnot, put the swapfile on this disk as well, but the lag didn\'t change a bit. also it crashed just as quickly as with a smaller swapfile on a slower, compressed, fragmented harddisk. Even loading times weren\'t down by much, so it\'s not primarily a problem of the harddisk. At least for me the bottleneck therefore seems to be the CPU or maybe mainboard or RAM throughput.

With all due respect (not).. This is NOT a solution.

What you are describing is simply a call to miss Furtune.
You see, the installer doesn\'t corrupt the files half way through very often. And slow mode should increase the graphical slowdowns because it uses the main CPU to do the graphic calculations. If that helped you, you should get a better graphic card / new drivers
