FL slowing down hugely - Spacewolf - 10-25-2007
Ok then i used to be able to have about 6-7 BS on the screen but lately i carnt even manage 1 player fighter. FL also slows down when ever a new type of npc fighter comes within 2k frezzes for 10 secs whenever i go though a JH. Randomly slows down when im loading the sever list. This is quite recent about 6-7 weeks now. Some other people have this problem as well and just so you know its not my comp heres the drives memory etc:
Graphics: Raedon X600
Memory: 2.98 free
and some other stuff thats way above the recomeded specs, any idea what it is?

You might possibly have some spyware or something else running in the background. Some programs appear to really suck up available RAM, despite what the Task Manager says.

i had a similar problem. whenever, i exited a tradelane - or an enemy shot hit me - sort of whenever the server needed a syonchronize - my computer would slow down. ( the HDD was working on something ) ... i did not find spyware or anything - but a fresh reinstall of both, modmanager and freelancer helped.
still not sure what it was - but it appeared to be some background program that used up a lot of memory and cpu - whenever either textures were needed ( tradelance effects ) or the client made direct contact to the server ( synch )
