Planetside - Windowed Mode
« on: August 04, 2005, 10:08:26 pm »
When putting Planetside into 1024x768 windowed mode everything runs smoothly for a minute or 2 then all of a sudden it will start laging ever other frame, thought it might be because I only have 512mb RAM but a friend of mine has the same and manages to run it smoothly windowed, any help would be appreciated.

What happens when you run it in full screen ?
Has it ever worked okay for you in windowed mode ? If so, what changed ?

Do you run any background programs while playing ? If so, have you tried closing them ?

Full screen everything runs fine, nice 70 fps most of the time. It used to work on my old computer playing it windowed with MSN running (the whole reason I want it in window) but since I got my new computer it has this problem. I have tried switching off all non-essential background programs with still the same effect.

You really need 1 gig of ram for PS, your performance will suffer badly otherwise.

Edit, maybe he has a faster hard drive and/or bigger swap file?

2 hard drives with a swap file on one and PS/MSN on the other would probably make a significant difference.
