Choppiness not FPS/Lag related.

Green Mushy · 11-24-2008, 05:30 AM

I just put FF on a new pc with an Nvidia 8800 GT graphics card. Even though in game i have a good ping, and a good 200 fps, i still get choppiness. I used to have a terrible computer, so i know from experience that its not fps lag. It is similar to the feeling that something is running in the background like a virus scanner, except, i dont have one running! To my knowledge, there is nothing on my computer that could be doing this. I run everything on dx80 with the lowest settings. I tried to use vertical sync, but it was just as bad. I have no idea what on my computer could give constant choppiness when i move around. Any ideas?

Spyware/malware scans. Other than that, check your processes out for CPU usage when it's happening.

MOAR ram!

GeoKill-----> · 11-24-2008, 08:09 PM

most likely yeah, more ram

Green Mushy · 11-25-2008, 01:39 AM

I have 2 gigs of ram. 3.01 dual core processor. To my knowledge, no anti-virus program, no memory-eating processes above 10k. Im going to try a new monitor and see what happens.

Does this still occur if you create your own server?

Just checking, have you tried them?

Green Mushy · 11-26-2008, 08:32 AM

It still occurs on my own server. I got and ran a spyware and virus checker without any luck. Although, i did find that my pc may have some malicious stuff on it. Anything to do with driver confliction or 32 vs 64 whatever conflictions?

Try a program called Malwarebyte's Anti Malware tool, it's fantastic, and picked up some viruses other popular scanners didn't for me, like AVG, or Avast.

What OS are you running? Vista easily swallows up 2gigs of ram for background programs whenever it feels like it. If you have vista, I'd advice 4 gigs of ram or above... (Stupid resource eating OS

)

KubeDawg · 11-26-2008, 09:37 PM

Rawh, u have any idea what XP Uses up as far as background programs go? Other than adding up all my processes mem usage, is there a tool that can give me these types of information?

Yep, and you can scan individual files unlikes some crappy ass av programs that only let you scan your whole drive/partitions.

Green Mushy · 11-27-2008, 08:20 AM

I used it and it didnt find anything bad.

Green Mushy · 11-27-2008, 09:04 AM

Zomg i fixed it! I was reading up on the problem and somebody mentioned that they had to go into bios and do some sort of "Enable" of a usb mouse. So, i did it, and no more skipping! I guess it was a mouse issue this whole time!

Can't really say what it would be for your system. He changed a bios setting in his MB.
