ingame menu lags

[Ryokukitsune 0]

I’m having a problem with the demo. Ever time I start it up if I need to check my equipment or my map each time I bring up those menus I am slammed with screen lag. My FPS drops to 0 for a few seconds and then everything is back to normal as if it never happened.

It doesn’t just happen in game too, I have to wait for this lag to pass when joining a sever while I wait for the lobby menu to load or the multiplayer server window.

My system specs:

AMD Athlon 64 X2 4800+ (2.4 Ghz)

Nvidia Quadro FX 3450/4000

SB X-Fi

2 GIG mem

Although my system is dual core I doubt that is the problem. I don’t have this problem on the full version I bought. (Germen + English add on = SWEET!

I tried a fix I found by adding “-maxmem=768†to the target path of the shortcut. That makes it load a little faster but I still get hit with the menu lags.

Any help is appreciated,

Ryoku

Talk about a insanely expensive GPU!

I don't know what your problem is, lad. Your box is certianly readily capable of running the game very easily. When was the last time you reinstalled your OS?

I don’t have this problem on the full version I bought.

Why do you bother playing the demo when you have the full version anyway ?

to answer the questions,

1) never, I have a factory installed OS and as of yet i haven't had any seriouse reason to reinstall (very serious windows failures) I do 3d graphics so i needed a powerful rig hehe. I've also got to much stuff and not enough places to put it. if i formatted to reinstall windows I'de lose about 40 gigs of stuff =/ I'm usualy an acomplished enough user to fix problems that pop up.

2) well I live in the middle of nowhere rite now, my connection is routed to a satilite dish farm in town that hasn't been updated since 95' so where i may have a fast connection its really lantent so in playing the germen version I connect to germen severs. my ping is 300+ at least on the demo i can get a 100 ping or better if i'm lucky.
