Game freezes at 5:59pm
ZephyrZodiac:
I think that would be easy to check out in build mode, just use the day/night toggle and if everything freexes, then that would obviously be the solution.
veilchen:
Well, Laurenke might be on to something there though ZZ. My game experiences an awful lag changing from 6 pm to the darkness at 7pm, but when I toggle the day/night button, it doesn't lag at all. And the RAM issue is certainly true. Although I only wish I had 1 GB, do have sevenhundred something, (I know they come in 256 increments, I'm too lazy to do math :D), and still the lag occurs when changing from light (6pm) to dark (7PM)
ZephyrZodiac:
V, from what I understand from Tim who built my PCs, RAM works better in pairs, so if you can afford to change to 2 x (same manufacturer) 512MD you would probably see an improvement in that lagginess. I know there was a marked improvement in mine when I moved up to 1GB, and I don't think it was just the extra RAM, it was more than that.
clem:
I dunno about the switch to dark, gang, although I thought of that at first, too. I have nearly the same specs on my CPU as Kukes and even less RAM (512 MB), and mine only hesitates for a moment before transitioning to dark. Not trying to shoot anybody down, but trying to generate more possibilities. Kukes, what about your graphics card? What kind and what kind of memory do you have?
And yeah, as ZZ suggested, I would check out usage. If you've put in other software recently, it might be taking more power than you realize by running in the background. Do you close down other power hogging programs before playing?
Okay, gonna shut up now.
ZephyrZodiac:
Just as an example, I installed the Microsoft Antispy programme, and you wouldn't believe how much memory it was hogging! And if I let it run a scan, it took about twenty minutes and never found a darned thing! So now I stick to the Yahoo Anti-spy, takes 40 seconds, I can do it while I'm surfing, and it finds stuff! But it wasn't easy uninstalling the Microsoft programme and I'm pretty sure there's a whole lot left in my registry!
