Hey all, just wondering if anyone could help me out with this problem i've been having with ns2 since I got a nvidia geforce 650~
I upgraded my graphics card not too long ago and took a break from ns2, didn't try the game with my new card but I recently reinstalled ns2 to play again. I noticed when I got into a game, i could run at 1440x900 with all settings (no aa/vsync) turned to high and the game was running great! I had a consistent 30 fps in the bigger battles, and with little action would stay around 50-60. The problem is though even though i'm running the game with no problem, when ever I enter a room with a bunch of enemies and activity, my game will suddenly drop to 0-1 fps for a few seconds, just long enough before it recovers to be dead. it's highly annoying to say the least lol. I've got the most recent drivers and even defragged to see if it would do anything to no avail. it pretty much makes the game unplayable
Please, anyone have any ideas or tips to try out?

If its crashing, keep the ns2 window open, even if black. Run tech support executable found in your ns2 install directory while everything is still crashed. It will create a zip file with a dump file in it for the devs to look into. Upload this zip somewhere on the inter webs.
Also you can try rolling back your driver to the previous whql one, since many are reporting problems with it in ns2.
By dead I mean dead in game lol, like dropping to 0-1 fps and then a few seconds later when the fps would rise back up i'd be dead
