My Game Freeze my computer when I try to restart Bon Voyage

<< < (4/4)

J. M. Pescado:
There are a number of causes of lag that I've discovered so far, many pertaining to poor lot design in combination with obsessive-compulsive autonomous actions. Fishing is a leading offender at present, with the Witch Doctor's lot freezing frequently for long periods of time when he gets fixated on fishing (which he can't do because of the horribly warped terrain).

This is incredible how this game is aking so much to a computer.  I would like to know what kind of computer EAGames have to realize this game.  They must have the biggest computer of this world  :o


Well, to be fair your specs are not that great.  The P4 is decent, but getting old fast, and the video card is merely average.  You might want to turn some settings down and see if performance improves.  Also, try defragging your hard drive and running a spyware scan. 

Hm. I have almost the same stats, except a Radeon x600 card. I can do max everything, very little lag now that I've smacked down the game from calling out. I get a bit on my beach lot at night (at level 9, it's pretty busy, plus I added a mod by Inge that forces all visitors to change into swimsuits that takes a bit of resource, plus there are a lot of tiki torches).

Has anyone been able to investigate whether SecuRom is causing some lag? I heard mention that it caused major issues with Zoo Tycoon 3.

Completely SWAG, but it very well may -- I play with a no-cd exe, on a decent but not spectacularly fast system, and I don't encounter any more lag that I used to under seasons.  I still see more lag when a lot changes to snow-covered than I do almost anywhere else.

Echo that.  I have roughly the same specs but only 1Gig RAM and an x200 card, and I have minimal lag (mind you, that's with shadows turned down to medium), if any.  No graphics errors.  I never use the launcher to load and disable all nonessential processes before starting the game (unconnected to the internet, of course).

If you are using a no-cd crack, disable the SecuROM service.  Doing so ensures it can't eat up processor availability.
