Hello everyone,
Recently i had the nostalgia and wanted to play Freespace 2 again...
So i got to installing the game and the SCP
After the installation finished i set the game up and running via wxLauncher and hit Play
Here's a problem that i am faced with...as soon as i get in the game i get
periodic freezes every 2-3 secondsI tried setting down the details and running it with medium setting still didnt help...
I even went down to Low and the only improvement i got was a slight FPS increase (which was already around 20 FPS, which is pretty playable for me at least ) the freezes were still there
So it obviously doesn't have anything to do with the settings
I than went on to try playing it without the SCP still no dice...
After that i even tried playing the very retail version of FS2 only to get a even bigger issue there
What happens in the retail is that the mouse is stuck in the middle of the screen but i can still create a new pilot
However after i hit enter the game crashes
Damn and all i wanted was to blast some Shivans out of existance
Anyway here are system specs
OS: Microsoft Windows XP Professional (5.1, Build 2600)
CPU: AMD Sempron Processor 3600+, MMX , 3DNow, ~2.0GHz
GPU: Nvidia GeForce 7050 PV / Nvidia nForce 630a
RAM: 2816 MB RAM
Page File: 697 MB used, 6181MB available
DX Version: DirectX 9.0c (4.09.0000.0904)
VRAM: 512 MB
Display Mode: 2048 x 1152 (32 bit) (60Hz)
Freespace 2 Build that i use is 3.7.0 with 3.6.12 MediaVPs (but i dont think it has anything to do with it since the problem occurs even when i try to play FSO without the MVPs)
I'm sorry if i overlooked anything just really annoyed by this problem...
