Call of Duty 2

[Xgamer11]

Yay i just got call of duty 2 but once i install it and start it the video is laggy. the mouse doesnt move very smooth. i think it might be my videocard or maybe memory? input plz

 

[Eureka]

Could be both. Elaborate...

How much ram do you have?

i have a 1 gb stick of pc3200 DDR 400 patriot ram...not the good kind though low on money

 

[Eureka]

That should be enough... I think it's probably your video card. Try turning down your settings.

I have 1 gig of mem, it ran smooth. I'm pointing at your vid card ~!!~~!!@!@!@!@

Do you have the latest drivers for your 9800 Pro?

What resolutions are you running?

 

[Xgamer11]

I tried all the resolutions and it still did the same thing..ya i think it is my video card because it does the same thing to me in CS:Source but im puzzled why i can play bf2 fine.

Does anybody with a 6600GT share their fps scores. Are there any benches of COD 2 ?

 

[Aznguy1872]

Try new drivers?

Make sure you aren't using AA (Anti-aliasing). Lower texture quality to a few notches below max. Lower the resolution to 1024x768 or even 800x600.

Turn off dynamic lights and shadows and try the /com_hunksize 512 trick... that nearly doubled my frames/sec. But in your case, the video card is likely the bottleneck so that probably won't help.

Be sure you are running dx7 and not dx9. I just heard about the hunksize trick today and plan to try it out when I get home to see if it makes dx9 more playable for me in MP or not. Works great in single player but I get really bogged in mp.

I ran the demo at 800x600 this weekend, which is what their setup said was optimal for my config. Also consider changing the audio down in resolution. Audio processing can be a big drain and many folks ignore it when trying to increase playability.

There is a BIG difference between the demo and the real game.

I am sure there is. I do have to say, that is the biggest demo I have ever d/l'ed too

Fingolfin,
let me know how that hunksize command works. I'm running at 1024x768, no shadows, no AA, and it still 'feels' laggy in multiplayer, but in single player it runs beautiful at much higher detail settings. I haven't tried running it in Directx 7 mode though, just 9 so far.
