Ok. I won't use those settings anymore. Anyways, the problem is still there. I've messed with nVidia's settings to the point where I can be lag free at the beginning of games, but as the game gets more intense (more MWs, virii, etc.) the jumpy lag shows itself and gets worse, but the game seems just...

Blackbox Preferences Debug To comment on the preferences, there's two "hidden" settings, SoundHW3D and SoundDSP. When I enable those with a 1 instead of a 0, it tends to help. It makes the first 5-10 minutes of a game "jumpy lag free", but as the game becomes intensive, the jump...

I have System Mechanic running a firewall and antivirus, but they don't affect any other game, or process for that matter. As for eating up CPU, no. I keep a tight ship with my processes and I've already tried putting Multiwinia on Realtime, both with one core and two, and it makes no difference. Th...

I've noticed that my video and audio drivers were out of date. I updated my audio driver (Realtek HD from their site since my manufacturer is out of date) and video (nVidia... again, laptop manufacturer out of date). Both of these updates did nothing. Setting single CPU did nothing. Turning off ever...

Sound driver should be fine, but I'll check it out. Here's my DxDiag.

It got better, but eventually the same thing happens. So far: threading support turned off on video card, affinity set to one cpu, sound settings to 11hz/8 channels, and all graphic settings to low. None of these made any difference. The sound thing did make it better, but it still came back.

What about: Peacewinians : Opposite to Evilwinians, these guys stand around and plants trees for your fiery fun :twisted: Haha, somehow I lol'd on this one. This one would be hilarious. One DOM game I got wasted in the first five minutes and toward the end I had three evil forests in a row. A whole...

Didn't work. Still lagged every minute or something. Both multi and single. I've also tried turning off threading support on my video card, then setting affinity. Still not better. My problem seems similar to the problems people have with multi-core systems, but mine is somehow different.

I've purchased Darwinia from Steam a long time ago. I've never had a problem with display, either on my old computer or my current one. Then I bought Multiwinia (from Steam again). I originally thought it only happened on heavy games where there's 10,000+ of those guys running around, but then I not...
