Post by: Jeff Vader on December 16, 2010, 02:21:53 pm: 1. "code" is much sexier than "quote" when posting logs.

2. I'm concerned that the only command-line option you have is "-mod mediavps_3612". You could have so many more, such as at least the ones mentioned here (http://www.hard-light.net/wiki/index.php/Getting_started#Post-installation_instructions). And maybe some lighting settings. They really shouldn't cause anything evil with that rig. Do you have some processor-intensive stuff running in the background? Like some crappy antivirus?

Post by: General Battuta on December 16, 2010, 02:27:28 pm: I assume he intentionally swapped it all off to see if it was causing the menu lag.

I've heard of this issue before but I can't remember what the fix was.
