Title: Lagging Game
Post by: Richy0Rich on July 30, 2012, 19:22:38

Just recently, whenever I go into a game, it lags like crazy. It never did this and I have had this game for a couple days, I have no clue why it is doing this. Please help. The settings were set to low and it still does this.

I've seen this before. Try cleaning your computer. Worked for me when all of my 3D games would lag on and off.

Hi RichyORich,
If you check on this listing you will find that the GeForce GT 330M video card is rated far below the minimum required to play the game. Your card is rated at 528 whereas the GeForce 8800GT Stipulated by Vstep is rated at 957, almost twice the level of your card. Have you just updated the game or added some DLC's? This could have pushed your computer to the point where it cannot fully cope with the game. Your processor is also pretty low in power at 2.4 Ghz. You can quickly check by scrolling down the ratings on the right until you come to 957 and 528.

Regards,
Traddles

Strange, I have a GT230 (571), and the game runs fine with graphics at some 80%. But I have 8Gb of memory, and 1500Mb of dedicated video memory. He has about half of this, so I guess that makes the difference.

Hi,Please register your license key of the copy of the game.We can still help without that,but lesser.
Anyways,I think you didn't meet some of the system requirements...2.4 Ghz... but you need at least 3.0 Ghz...My suggestion is to upgrade your Processor from 2.4 to MORE THAN 3.0. I hope your problem should be over with that.
