Slow C&C Generals (Possable Spoiler)

[JamesJB 0]

Hi im haveing a problem with the one mission where after ya take one side of the river and a GLA vehicle destroys the Dam and water goes thru the middle.

 

A few moments later the game does the jerky dance like stop go stop go.

Kinda feels like lag or something. Anyone know why this might happen?

 

my system is:

 

Win XP Home w/ Service pack 2

DirectX 9c

AMD Athalon XP 2600+ (Barton)

1.5gig DDR Ram

ATI Radeon 9700 Pro w/128mb DDR Ram

SoundBlaster Audigy Gamer

KT4AV (VIA KT400A Chipset Based) Motherboard

160gig Baracuda HD (speed is 7200 w/8mb cache)

Linksys Wireless-G Broadband Router 2.4ghz

Linksys Wireless-G PCI Adapter (802.11g) 2.4ghz

Toshiba Cable Modem running at 10 megabits a sec.

DVD-Rom 52x24x52x Drive

ALL Drivers Updated

 

Before i replaced the HD with the 160gig i had a 80gig in and it did the same thing on the 80gig.

Generals pushes your hardware to its limits. It could be overheating. Or you may have to many background apps running in Windows. Try shutting down theses apps before starting Generals.

I have nothing running in the background. This has always happened to me. not sure why it does. I exceed the requirements of the game. Every other game i play that is intense like this game works fine.

Use anti- spyware devices, cause when you get infected with that stuff your pc gets slower. Also, if you're pc is hot, use an electric fan at least so your pc will be cooled down. If it's hot and you don't act immideatly, Generals will probably crash (like what happened to me).
