Microsoft patch.
If you're running AMD procs...there's a patch from AMD too. |

Hey, Korinn...still rainy over here.
Fastest internet connection? Broadband is available but pricey...so most stick to cheaper HSDPA  |

Thanks a lot!
I had to edit the registry, as stated on the page (value = 0), but now I can finally use my monitor to the max and play 1920 x 1200 without extreme lag. The patch is included in SP3 believe, but you have to manually activate it, by adding the registry value. |

Are you running intel or AMD?
For AMD...you need to install the AMD X2 drivers/hotfix.

I may have found a solution to the lagging on high resolutions on the dutch Microsoft website. (http://www.microsoft.com/netherlands/ondernemers/techniek/dualcore.aspx)
Edit boot.ini in the root of your C: drive (file is hidden, show hidden files).
Find the line:
Multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS=”Microsoft Windows XP Professional” /fastdetect /NoExecute=OptIn
put: /usepmtimer at the end of that line.
save, reboot
This tells windows to use synchronize the clock times of both cpu's or something like that. I read on the internet it's only supposed to work for AMD cpu's, but it seems to work for me. I can play 1920x1200 now on most maps of SDK with no lag whatsoever, on some maps the game uses 1280x1024 for some reason (map too small?). I use Windows2000 compatibility mode on the cc5.exe.
I don't know whether this affects performance negatively of apps/other games, but I'm happy for the moment! |
