I played this on xp orignally and it ran great full settings but when I switched to windows 7, every few sconds I get a thing of lag and its very annoying. Any help will be grateful

[ChandlerL]

hmm.. Could try this:



Hit the Windows Key, type Power Options, select "High Performance"

[Zechio]

Well, what is different between the 2? I play on windows 7, so I'm fairly sure that part isn't it. Do you have any programs that might be running on windows 7 that isn't on xp? Are your drivers, etc. up to date?



Try pressing Ctrl+alt+del and select task manager. Go to the performance tab, then just go back to the game and play until it lags. Switch back to the task manager, and look through the graphs and see what is maxing out. Are you out of ram, did CPU usage jump up to 100 percent, did your hard drive start getting a lot of reads/writes, etc.



Give as much information as you can, please.

[angrysullyz]

Already have that selected.

[ChandlerL]

ok, then I assume since you went from XP to Windows 7, you had to do a clean install. What are the list of system specific drivers you installed with Windows 7? Name and version #s please.

I'm using an evga 8800 gt and I downloaded this driver for my card. I'm using windows 7 64 bit



http://www.nvidia.co...91.07_whql.html



I also installed direct x from the install disk of the game.



The last driver I dled after that was for my creative soundcard

[ChandlerL]

That's what I feared. Not where you need to be:

Here's an excerpt from one of my BSOD posts since this portion applies completely:

Drivers:

Update your video driver to the latest (Check the manufacturers web site)
Update your sound driver to tha latest (Check the manufacturers web site)


The tougher ones:
Update your chipset drivers. Motherboard manufacturer will have the latest, but sometimes safer/easier to check the company that manufactured the system though not as effective.
Update your network drivers. Motherboard manufacturer or network card manufacturer will have the latest, but sometimes safer/easier to check the company that manufactured the system though not as effective.
Update your mouse drivers
Update your SATA drivers
Update your ACPI drivers
Update your attached peripheral drivers or remove the from your system temporarily while you diagnose.
Last but not least, if all else has failed, update your BIOS

Alright thank you very much.

Did you upgrade your ram when you changed operating systems? Vista and 7 both use a lot more ram than xp.

[shavedajungle]

OP did it work???

[angrysullyz]

Edit:  I checked EVGA's site and the video driver was the same from nvidia so I think the video driver is either fine or maybe I should downgrade.




I was using 4 g of ram on xp but only like 3.2 was being seen by xp,

My specs ATM:

4g of ram
quad core
evga 8800 gt
I did the windows hardware test where it tests all your hardware and scores it out of 7.9

my processor scored a 6.9
my ram scored a 7.2
my graphics (and 3d graphics) scored 6.8

I know my specs are good because it ran perfect on xp. I just moved to windows 7 ulti 64 bit so getting used to it.

try setting your processor affinity for the program to a single core (other than the 1st one) that has been proven to clear up some of the lag-spiking and slowing

[angrysullyz]

Uhh, how exactly do I do that lol?

Roo's right, the OS just uses a ton more ram sitting idle. So basically, whilst the ram was more than enough if you were to play the game on xp, when you go on 7 the amount available for the game isn't as high due to the base operating system needs.

Personally I'd just go back to xp...

For what it's worth, i've had no trouble running this in either win7 or xp sp3. i use an evga 9800. it could be a specific 8800 driver issue- but i doubt it. There's not much diff tween the two but bandwidth and mhz.



The people here are right though, a clean install of win 7 is best. Make sure everything is up to date- It's probably not a memory issue- i only run 2gb, and i'm 30 fps easy.



I'd check your MB chipset. This game does some interesting things with I/O streaming.

What motherboard model are you running? have you check all your low-level chipset drivers for win 7?

ChandlerL is giving great advice on this.

[angrysullyz]

I updated my chipset, got the latest sound and video drivers and I updated my mouse drivers.

Edit: It was a clean install also.  My pc rates the ram as being a 7.2 out of 7.9 so I think Im fine.

After checking around DA forums, I came across this:
http://daforums.biow...03112&forum=146

I have the AMD 9600

I guess my processor and some other AMD processors are getting big memory leaks from the game and thats the reason for random lag moments and long loading times. Bioware is trying to fix the problem and one person posted a way to fix but I may end of waiting for the fix.

Thanks for the all the help so far, hopefully I'll get this sorted out soon.
