Title: Upgraded PC now FS2SCP Runs Slower?
Post by: The Spac on August 05, 2007, 05:32:00 am

I just upgraded from my athlonXP to a dual core intel and all my games are screaming except freespace which seems to be running far far slower. I was wondering is there some reason behind this that people are aware of?

What version of FSO are you running. There is a known problem with 3.6.7.


Well actually there are a lot of known problems with 3.6.7.

the official 3.6.9 release. I had freespace in mind when I upgraded so that I wouldn't get jerks when having an orion or installation on screen, upgraded version.

before it was around 25fps with craploads going on and now it's 15fps or so. :( *Cries*

Computer specs would be helpful, as well as the command line arguments you run with.

task manager -> fresspace2 process -> righlclick -> uncheck a cpu

doesn't improve much though

About a 25% improvement. At least it's back to where my Athlon use to be. lol :)
