Title: Framerate Problems
Post by: Allers on January 21, 2011, 04:16:34 pm
Whenever I play Warband on my user I have it on max settings and it says Estimated Performace = 56%. When I join a game, the framerate is always really low. When I go to a different user on the same computer I start up the game and put on the same settings and it says Estimated Performance = 106%. When I join a server, the framerate is really high. Does anyone know why my user is "slower" than another one on the same computer. Does anyone have a solution to fix this?


Thanks

I suppose it has to do with not having admin rights. But that's as far as i could guess.

Try right clicking and then Run As Administrator on the Warband shortcut, that's the only thing I could guess as well.

Are you sure the account that has frame rate issues is an admin?

Yes. I'm the only one who uses the computer. But why would being administrator have to do with graphics problems?

That sounds really strange! Do the high performance User has the same background programs running than your low user?

Allers, you're not the only one who uses the computer. It's because your user has a bunch of icons and programs, and the others don't. So, if you want help from people, you should tell them the truth.

No I cleared a lot of stuff, more than 100 GB and I have now less icons on desktop than the other users but it still lags.

There are so many things that could be effecting your performance on your user-name that it'd be nearly impossible to assist you in pinpointing it without extreme effort(which I'm not really inclined to exert).

However, one quick and easy thing you could do is create a new user on the computer, and only use that username to play your games. Don't serf the web on it, don't download crap on it, don't install other programs, etc.

This should keep it a clean username, and your performance shouldn't be effected by all the junk on your other username. Make sure you go back to the old username if you want to surf the web, download, or w/e.

i read flamerate problems for the post title and was confused it was this chilled in here :mrgreen:
now that i'm here anyway: http://www.tune-up.com/products/tuneup-utilities/
run that once and if you don't like it uninstall it afterwards.
use the one-click-maintenance

i never managed to screw up a computer with that tool but always got some nice performance increases or at least a overall cleaner windows :D
