Constant freezing

[Spawny]

I had something similar, but it meant a huge drop in fps for me. I would start out at playing 120 fps and after some time it dropped down to 4-8 fps.
Everybody told me it was my gfx card, but even with the case opened, everything cleaned out and a card temp of about 54 C it would still happen.
I had to turn down my graphics a lot (from max to just below medium), eventhough I had played 10 months on the highest settings.

Also, use the soundpack Socrates made.

It works like a charm, especially if you combine it with the low-res pack.

You started experiencing this lately, as in this worked fine before?

You need to check if your gfx card isn't overheating and/or if the fans are not clogged.

Well, I got a new computer. It was not built by a professional, but it should be okay. Still I'm kinda afraid something might be messed up in there. It has only happened to me on this computer.

That low res texture pack, is it ugly? Cause having to downgrade my graphics while I got a better pc isn't exactly what I want.

GPU Temperature is 45 degrees celsius when playing. Doubt thats too hot.

Try reinstalling gfx drivers, maybe something went wrong. Check you have the latest ones.

Do eeeeet.

i did it.

Just wanted people to know that the optimized sound pack fixed my problems. Installed it, never thought off this again, it ran perfectly. Installed the launcher, soundpack is gone, freezing like a bitch.

FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU

After the patch I got those lovely freezes again, thought the patch somehow uninstalled the sound optimization pack, reinstalled it but they are here to stay it seems.

Still weird how they just start sometimes and then don't stop, I don't have them always.

You don't need to spend hundreds on shiny hardware to get top-notch graphics. The good-ol' monster high-end cards do just as good as today's high-end on all recent games. I play BF3 to maximum detail with that old, dusty and clumsy thing. Getting higher is just for upping the screen resolution, but the effect of increasing dpi becomes negligible at current levels.

[Lordark]

Sound optimization pack helped me out alot. I suggest you all try it too. Way less freezing.

[Christo]

Getting higher is just for upping the screen resolution.

Indeed.

These neo-modern-nuclear-powered GPU's are only handy if you play in like 32389728497x219837238472 resolutions/use multimonitors for gaming, (but that's silly imo) ergo my 1280x1024 resolution, which was quite huge few years ago, couldn't even use most of it's power.

PS: Yes, the resolution was exaggerated.

maybe an audio driver issue. i had many with realtek chipsets. anyway what OS? xp vista or 7? how much ram?

Windows 7 32 bit, 4gb ram

It was fixed I think, no freezes for several sessions, after I installed the sound optimisation pack. Then I got the new patch and the cRPG launcher, now I have those freezes again. Reinstalled the pack, but no cigar.

then it's not a graphic related stutter/freezes. do you launch cRPG with the new cmp launcher?

i did it.

a 6990 for warband is a total waste. i had 120 fixed fps at max detail, 1680x1050, 4x antialiasing, 16x anisotropic,with my old 4870. now a good 6950 can run almost any new game at decent details.

i have a 6970 and runs skyrim at max detail plus some other eyecandy .ini tweaks at 60fps with vsync on, x4 antialiasing, fxaa on, x16 anisotropic.

6990, GTX580 cards are only needed with 40" high resolution monitors/TVs or eyefinity/nvidia multimonitor setups.

to max cRPG graphic settings, an E8400+old ATI 4870/old nvidia GTX260 is more than enough.
