I can't take this anymore

Yeah, 512 is the minimum you should have now a days. But it really shouldn't matter. SM worked for me on a 128mb, windows 95, not all that laggy, little bit maybe though.

[makaveli121212]

well i know it still works and it should...but reach i know someone with a computer with simlar specs as yours, and he couldnt run sm...i only have 256mb but im upgrading on sunday to 768

i have xp and like 64mb video card and like 512hz proc and 128 ram.. and it works alright

[zildjian133]

hey reach have you ever thought of reinstalling SM(different version)? windows 98 was in a lot of ways the best windows program made.. it had the less flaws and unlike XP theres tons of glitches and virus holes i think in total 8 Major glitches that require patches but it could simply be you have a messed up driver problem with the graphics card messing up the sequence. oh well good luck.

I cannot believe a damn person said this yet. TRY TO UPDATE YOUR VIDEO CARD DRIVERS.



If that doesn't work, you might want to back stuff up and consider a reformat. That is a garunteed fix.

[Snapps]

Ok, did you try changing some of your options in sm? Like make it 18 bit or windowed.

k, i have 768 megs of ram, 1.7 ghz hd, and my sm is running pretty shitty too...
however, what i did, is I changed the screen to full screen instead of windowed (it helps :S), and then I changed the display res to 800 instead of 1024, and i changed texture resolution and shit to 512 or something like that... i changed color resolution and all that too, but now my SM program looks like shit... I guess the reason my comp lags so much is cuz of that piece of shit video card I have which i got for free with my comp.. i dont even think its 32 megs.. you think that might be my problem?

*edit* 1.7 ghz cpu, not hd :P

THIS TOPIC IS A MONTH OLD

REACH'S PROBLEM IS FIXED

[Anuj]

yeah, but mine isnt :S

[Nima]

I use xp and it runs better than anyone else I know.

[Reach]

hi

my problem isn't fixed. moogy -_-

but yea, i already did a reformat o_O lol. before the problem even started.

Whatever, im used to the lag now. It effects me ALOT on ffr though.

[Anuj]

k, for SM, make it full screened, and set the resolution to something low like 400... you wont lag anymore, but depending on how good ur comp is, the time it takes for the command to reach ur processor (processing time? i dunno) might or might not be better... I'm assuming the only problem you have is a shitty looking visual game

[EDEdDNEdDYFaN]

Yeah I have this problem too on games that involve arrows moving upward and proceeding to hit them with keyboard Its really annoying when your playing songs with runs like uber rave or aerodynamic because it randomly pauses and gives you a good, miss, boo, or great

U got the right video card drivers?
