    2gb ram
    AMD Turion(tm) 64 X2 Mobile Technology TL-56
    1.79 GHz
    windows vista basic

    the game is working and all
    but the fps is terrible
    its all choppy kinda like bad lag
    if i have the camera on a top down view it runs smoothly
    i got everything on low settings

    any idea why its playing choppy(?) and how i can fix it?
    i have the feeling its the vista and im thinkin about downgrading(or upgrading ;P) to xp but i dont wanna mess up my laptop

    Do you have many processes running in the background while you are playing? Personally I don't mind if you curse, but its against the rules and the moderators don't like it. Just a warning =D

    not that many processes
    i tried to get rid of as many as i could
    basically just the ones that i knew were programs that i opened
    everything else was pretty much system stuff that i didnt wanna mess with



    ps thanks for the warning :p

    Anytime :) I'm guessing its vista, because your processor is good and your video card is good too. I would suggest switching to xp not just for games to work either. Maybe someone else has a better answer, but thats my best shot.

    well thanks for the answer anyway :)
    im pretty sure it was vista too i had some problems with other games too on it.

    so now im playing the game on another computer i have
    built it myself.

    winxp home
    amd athalon 64 4000+ 2.41ghz
    2gb ram
    nvidia geforce 7900 gs
    ASUS A8N-SLI Premium 939 NVIDIA nForce4 SLI

    anyway when i got it i thought itd be able to handle some good graphics
    it plays smoothly sometimes
    but every once in a while it will just glitch/freeze for a solid 20 seconds then when i can finally play again part of the game will be morphed into some giant pointy structure.
    i cant really describe it better than that, ill try and see if i can get a video of it with fraps or something. any suggestions on how i can fix this problem would be greatly appreciated :p
