Problems with Skirmish Mode on Zero Hour

Recommended Posts

when i play skirmish mode on ZH, just when i hav my base set up and mass war is about to begin all of a sudden the game starts to go extremely slow, like really bad lag but im playin offline in skirmish. i mean really slow. my computer is very new, 2GB DDRII RAM, 256MB PX6800 GT video card, and i own an original copy of the game, its not cracked or anything.

can someone please tell me how to fix this so i can play the game properly? i dont hav this problem in campaign mode and have never played online. please help.

ive tried all different settings and re-installing the game wot else can i do?

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.

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

can you post your running tasks? processes etc.

 

I think some sort of process is causing the delay...

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.

Hm... Try defragmenting your drive, my dad's PC continually crashed until he defragmented it...

That is an odd problem...but do what someone else said before, and try playing online...see if that works better :wink:

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% >_<
