OMD 0 Posted May 1, 2006 I think you have an AMD processor, am i right? if so, you should install the latest (if it is a NForce board) VIA and Nforce drivers to fix this problem. I had the same issue. Second thing is, always install the latest driver of your graphics card. It has something to do with the AI calculations. In challenge or campaign it is fixed AI and in skirimish mode it is radomly cause evey game is different. try that first and let us know. Share this post Link to post
chickensoup64 0 Posted May 1, 2006 i dont have an AMD processor, its an Intel Pentium 3.2GHz. i have the latest drivers installed for my computer. there is just nothing i can think of, kinda sucks lol any more ideas are welcome Share this post Link to post

chickensoup64 0 Posted May 3, 2006 ive tried all settings in the game. all up, all down, makes no difference. the game only goes slow when there become a lot of bots, ie. when the computer players start to make their own cash via drop zones etc and they begin to make big armies and attack Share this post Link to post
Guest MadBadger Posted May 5, 2006 I will admit the Gen AI is a whore for CPU resources...... you are prob better off trying online Share this post Link to post

OMD 0 Posted May 10, 2006 can you post your running tasks? processes etc. I think some sort of process is causing the delay... Share this post Link to post
Thierry 0 Posted May 10, 2006 You should be able to run Generals/ZH with everything on High very smoothly, so its either the game, your operating system or your current driver version. Share this post Link to post
Azrael 0 Posted May 11, 2006 Hm... Try defragmenting your drive, my dad's PC continually crashed until he defragmented it... Share this post Link to post
F15pilotX 4 Posted May 19, 2006 That is an odd problem...but do what someone else said before, and try playing online...see if that works better :wink: Share this post Link to post
Guest MadBadger Posted May 19, 2006 Don't forget Spyware..... Just run a basic free one off the net..... found 37 files >_< all were ones that were running while the PC was on and slowing my CPU by 24% >_< Share this post Link to post
