[KillerJ]

Ok the thing is, i bought my new pc yesterday and i got ko to work.. the thing is that when i walk around (anywhere in ko) theres this kinda lil screen kick-back.. i lil spike lag or something.. dunno if you know what i mean.. it never stops and its about every 2 seconds.. lasts for about half a sec every time it does it.. ill tell you my computer info.. maybe you can tell me if you know the reason..

AMD Athlon 64 X2 dual core processor 4400+ (2.3 Ghz)
Vista home premium <-- i think thats the reason of the lag
2048 MB system memory (ram)
320 GB storage space
1024 MB Cache memory
GeForce 6150 intergrated graphics card
thats about it...
if you know a fix to my problem dont be shy.. tell me
(ohh and im already removing vista in 2 weeks to put xp back cause vista takes 50% ram)
thnx guys

agreed

none the less, his VGA built in is not a total peice of crap.

I used to game when KO came out on some Emachine, with a crappy Built in and i had no lag.

The 6150 built in is not so bad... He shouldnt have those spikes and its more than enuff for ko.

man idk. i updated NVIDIA nForce Serial ATA Controller, NVIDIA nForce Networking Controller, NVIDIA GeForce 6150SE nForce 430.. the only three outdated drivers according to www.driveragent.com... ill upgrad my bios but idk if thats gonna help... i have a feeling the lag is because of the possessor change every now and then... what the lag does is kinda bumps me in the ass.. like it bumps my screen forward like if it has to load terrain detail or something.

ohh i also instaled this: AMD Dual-Core Optimizer - The AMD Dual-Core Optimizer can help improve some PC gaming video performance by compensating for those applications that bypass the Windows API for timing by directly using the RDTSC

man i cant find a bios update for: Phoenix - AwardBIOS v6.00PG

[MillionVoices]

Im assuming since your Video Card is integrated, you bougt a Built system.

GO to AMD.com and find your Chipset and look at the drivers/updates there.

KO is low GFX game compared to newer games today, you shouldnt be getting any lag.

[KillerJ]

its not a lag.. it kinda jumps... skips.. dunno how you want to call it :s maybe i can fraps it... ill see
but ill find an update for Phoenix - AwardBIOS v6.00PG 05/15/2007-MCP61P-NARRA00

[MillionVoices]

Spike, Lag, Fps drops all the same terminology.

Im talking about lag in terms of video proccesing.

I know alot of people who had your issue, me being one of them too long ago. We all just updated our Bios and drivers etc. That smoothed it.

[KillerJ]

cant find the upgrade for the bios :S

[MillionVoices]

bah its AMD idk how to help you.

but just find your Motherboard Chipset and google it.

[KillerJ]
