ME2 lags as well on my machine. All the time, everywhere - indoors, outdoors, in dialogs... Same thing on minimum and maximum graphic settings.

I've had a similar problem with DA:O. It was fixed after I've installed 1.02b patch and latest nvidia drivers.

My configuration:

Core 2 Duo E4400 2.0 (overclocked to 2.7)

Win7x64

Geforce 8800 GTS 640 mb

4 gb RAM

[Leon Lovecraft]

Additional info:
The game lags even in main menu, cutscenes and while I'm hacking stuff (which is especially annoying). GPU and CPU temperature is ok while I play the game, CPU doesn't downclock itself or smth.
If I'll press escape in the middle of lagging and give it a couple of seconds, the game will run fine for 4-5 seconds and then lags will start again.
Other games like Resident Evil 5 or Bioshock 2 works fine. DA:O had same issues at the beginning, but now works fine.
Mass Effect 1 works fine.

Another thing: my ME2 is not installed on the system drive, can that be a problem? But again, all the other games are not installed on the system drive as well...

i hate this ****!!!! the same thing happends to Me 1, Me 2 and dragon age!

[Leon Lovecraft]

Weird...

It's kind of random. Just now I've restarted the game and it worked perfect for 3 hours. Then I restarted it again and lags came back O_o

[Squallmerlin]

I've been having this problem since day 2. I can play fine between the lag spikes, but when I get one my processor drops 20 to 30% of its max power. I even formatted my drive and re-installed XP.



XP sp3

2g ram

Geforce 9500 gt

Just Alt-Tab to desktop and then go back in, seems to work for me.

[Au_Xtr3me]

It may be a physical issue, such as temperature (particularly on laptops). Whilst your temperature readings may not actually be that high, its possible that a hotspot accumulates on your video card, forcing it to throttle down.

Try opening your desktop or laptop and check for dust in heatsinks and exhausts. If there is lots of dust get rid of it. If your more technical, reapply thermal paste between the heatsinks and chips.

I'm running an old Dell XPS 1530 with 8600m .GT and I used to get lag spikes, but after cleaning my machine it works like a dream (dragon age and ME2)

Thanks A9_Xtr3me for the cleaning tip. As it turns out the fan on my video card needed to be oiled now the game works fine.

[PlasticVenom43]

Same problem for me,



It'll be fine in a couple scenes, then it'll get really spotty, like, really spotty, the speech doesn't lag, only the people



It's really annoying, can someone give a solution please?

[Squallmerlin]

If your playing on a desktop like I am, go ahead and give it a good cleaning. "Sweep" it out with some compressed air, make sure all your heat sinks aren't clogged and oil your fans. For me it was just a problem of my video card overheating and throttling.

[Joshua Hawkeye]

Everyother game i have runs fine just get these stupid random lagg spikes im running Game Booster and it doesnt even seem to help

Don't, because Game Booster and similar programs are prone to cause more truoble then they solve.

I have a desktop, running XP with 4GB RAM on a Core2 Duo 2.4 OC'd to 3.0 GHz

Overclocking... Sucks. Again, this also causes more trouble then it's wort, like overheating or stability uses. The CPU downclocks itself temporarily to fix these problems, and that's where the Lags are coming from.

The best case to test this is just to launch another program that is relativily system intensive (If you do not have such a program, just download a demo of Crysis or something, try that) and see if these problems occur in those games as well. If they do, it's most certainly a problem with either your hardware or a program running in the background (disabling antivirus can help, but please keep your firewalls on, or disconnect yourself from the internet enterily to be sure). If they do not, it MIGHT be a Mass Effect 2 programming bug, in which case... I don't know.

Another thing: my ME2 is not installed on the system drive, can that be a
problem? But again, all the other games are not installed on the system
drive as well...

In my experience, that actually improves performance, and it can save you from a bit of a headache when you have to reinstall everything, as you do not lose all your files (I moved My Documents to the non-system drive as well. But now I am drifting off-topic).

i get stutters at the galaxy map and in the crew deck everywhere else is perfect its so annoying HELP PLEASE

[Dangirdas]

i give up nothing works -.-'''

[swiftwargod]

my game has a lag period it just wont stop its so slow. i move the mouse n like 2 or 3 secs. later it finally moves

[MadMapper]

Same here. But I get various lag type.

1 The first, that I had even with Prototype and Dragon Age and I still have on ME1 and 2, is a heavy lag that begins 10-15 minutes after I start the game and lasts from 5 to 15-20 minutes. This lag prevents me from correctly targeting objects (such as doors, npcs etc...), but if I click Esc and then return to the game I can click those objects for like 1 sec.

I noticed that sometimes this lag doesn't show up. Dunno why.

2 The second is a costant but discontinuous small lag. This one might be tolerable, but prevents me from targeting enemies while pausing in combat (the target selection alternately disappear, or sometimes just doesn't target at all) making the gameplay really irritating.

Sometimes it just works good.

You did take note of the major limitations that Low Quality video cards create for environmental interaction, correct?

Video Card = 256 MB (with Pixel Shader 3.0 support). Supported GPU Chips: NVIDIA GeForce 6800 or greater(**); ATI Radeon X1600 Pro or greater. Please note that NVIDIA GeForce G.205, G.210, 310, 7100, 7200, 7300, 7400, 7500, 8100, 8200, 8300, 8400, 9100, 9200, and 9300; ATI Radeon X1300, X1550, HD 2400, 3100, 3200, HD 3450, HD 3470, HD 4200, HD 4250, HD 4350, and (probably) HD 5450 are below minimum system requirements. Updates to your video and sound card drivers may be required. Intel and S3 video devices are not officially supported in Mass Effect 2.
(**)Two of the Geforce 6800s are worse than the next-lower Geforce game card, the 6600 GT, and should be avoided (6800 SE, 6800 XT).

I have a NVIDIA GeForce 9400M, so it should be ok, shouldn't it?

Only if you had the Geforce 9400 for a desktop would there be any way to be certain. Laptop producers fail to follow standards, so the names of mobile cards don't always mean what they should. That's why game developers do not support laptops.

www.gpureview.com/show_cards.php

Actually, the raw specifications do not look too favorable viewed this way, let me check something.

http://www.gpureview...1=578&card2=178

OK, maybe Bioware tested an AGP interface for the minimum, so that allowed the 9400 (which is / was strictly PCIe) to edge slightly past bare minimum.

My ME2 now lags so bad I can't even play
I just upgraded from a geforce8800 to an asus hd 6870. I just upgraded to the latest driver from the website (driver date 4/19/2011 version 8.850.0.0) and I've turned off all of the extra options in the ME2 graphics options. I changed the settings in the catalyst center (actually it's called AMD VISION engine control center now for some reason) to be determined by the application.
I can run DA2 with the graphics cranked all the way up with no problem, but ME2 is horrible. Any help would be appreciated, this is breaking my heart.

You might try alternate catalyst drivers, because ME2 is an older game, some of the latest drivers will cause issues in efforts to maximise later games.  So try something that came out mid last year  6-2010 or around that time.

[Bogsnot1]

IUf you loaded the drivers that came with the disk, check to make sure it didnt also install ASUS SmartDoctor or GamerOSD. If it did, uninstall them. They cause other problems within ME2, such as the weapons locker crash.

[Never]

Ahh, I will try getting rid of the gamerosd. Where would I find the older drivers? Thank you for the responses.

[Bogsnot1]

You can get older drivers for your card here;
http://support.amd.c...iw_vista32.aspx

I would recommend going for the 10.6 or 10.7 release. Unfortunately, you might have a bit of a juggling act on your hands, due to also having DA2. DA2 sometimes requires very new drivers, and ME2 sometimes requires older drivers. Its just a matter of finding the right balanced drivers to allow you to play both.
