Okay, since the build 196 my client freezing problem has just gone bad to worse. I cant do anything especially on the alien side. I dont get even a minute freeze free gameplay time. The game is unplayable.

I just ran the Dxdiag, and i think it made it even worse. I have turned off bloom, realtime shadows fogs.. But, as they dont seem to improve fps and they dont prevent the freeze aswell.

So my Vcard is Nvidia GT 540M 1024vram. 4GB DDR3 and intel core I5-2410M (2.9ghz turbo boost, hyperthreading, best dual core mobility performance that i have experienced). And these should be able to run ns 2 fine on low resolution (1024x768), and low graphigs ( as they dont seem to improve fps much, it runs aswell as high).

My avg fps is around 30 (certainly not below) on less than 10 v 10.

But my main problem is this freezing, It's just so frustrating that you go into combat and know that your gonna win that fight and no, your stuck for 5 second (0 response) and then im dead.

Is there anything that i could try? I'll record some gameplay (if my pc can handle this), if anything doestn help.

I have been told, that it could be vcar memory swapping problem, and it certainly does feel something like it.

Please you must take a look at this!

I didn't pay for this :(

[Edit]

I have never expreienced anything like this on any previous game. I have played FE. Bf3, SC II, DE:HR, NS1
