I'm hoping someone can at least give an answer, if not a solution to this problem. I was playing UO on a 5 year old machine, smooth as silk. Bought a new machine w/dual core processor, now UO lags like hell. COD4 runs great (reason I bought a new machine). I have heard that the dual core processor is the culprit, but is there any way to correct this? I have tried shutting one of the cores off and also set the priority to Realtime which helps a little, but anytime arty or a hand grenade goes of, I feel like i'm running 1-2 fps instead of the 600 fps I was running. Can anybody at least explain what's happening? Better yet, tell me how to fix it? Thanks for any info provided. edited on Jun. 15, 2008 02:36 pm by friedshrimp

gfx card an 8800 Gt perhaps? Download drivers 174.74 or later from Nvidia site, should fix most problems. http://www.nvidia.com/Download/Find.aspx?lang=en-us 175.16 is the latest, and should work well.

OMG, an actual mind reader! Okay, what are the lottery numbers for this Saturday?!? Actually, it's an 8600 GTS w/512 mb video RAM, I would assume the same driver update info would apply. So if I understand correctly, this is a video problem and not a CPU problem. Everyone kept telling me otherwise. Thanks for the info, I will get right on it.

I have this issue with COD1 every now and again. I always lag when going into the tank hangar on mp_railyard and I'm running a E6600 (2.4Ghz Dual Core and an 8800GT 512MB OC2).

Never looked into it much as I only played it for like a week stint when I got hooked again :P

A friend of mine became so pee-peeed off with his 8600 GT, he smashed it with a hammer. This link refers to early problems with older games on 8800GT. CODUO's issues are certainly largely fixed with the updated drivers above. http://www.nvnews.net/vbulletin/showthread.php?s=58306dd41275e5bc26d17b0ec5b87592&t=82074&page=21

I have a dual core amd processor and I had a bit of problems running vcod/coduo too. I used the AMD dual core optimizer and it helped quite a bit. dunno if you have amd but perhaps there is something similar for an intel processor too. 3rd listing. http://www.amd.com/us-en/Processors/TechnicalResources/0,,30_182_871_9706,00.html

Ive heard that with newer cards, a certain DX7 thing to do with dynamic lighting with the Quake 3 engine (which cod uses) isnt present so it gets sent to the CPU instead, which causes lag, so try turning dynamic lighting off in performance options. Running a cod1/uo server on more than 1 core will cause Infinite loop errors

Any way to fix this problem? i have e6700 x38 4bg ram and 8800gts 512. I cant have stable fps either. I have tried to shut off one core to let it run on 1 core, but its just the same. I notice some improvement if i shut off the lightning stuff, but its still choppy when the battle takes off (both in cod and cod uo). My fps falls down to 40-50s even if have set all graphic settings to the minimal. I try cod first every time i format my pc to check if it runs better, but same poo-poo every time. On a server with only me inside i can get 1000 fps in a few areas, so its definately not my comp that sucks. WTF is this? They should fix this at once!!!!!! Anyone who know more about this directx 7 lightning problem? Is it like this on both new nvidia and ati cards? I've just ordered a 4870, not for only this reason. But i realy hope this will get fixed at the same time. Thanks a bunch for answers. COD is my favourite and will always be :)

Nvidia improved things quite a bit with the newer drivers. From 174.74 onwards, from memory.

I tried installing new drivers with 8800gts, but its same once again. I tried with my new 4870, same hiccups again :( (Anyway i get the old card sold and i get enough performance to run AA on most games finally, no worry) Same thing in COD2 too on dx7 setting. Then what to do? Should i email IW/Activision? They wont fix it without getting payed anyway. Max support time for a game is 5 years (or less?) i think, and that time is passed. Any genius here who know some more? Thanks! DX7=
