Lagging Bad

[Redheart]

Hello I am new and this is my first post...sorry.....I read through the forums but didn't come across this problem unless i missed it. Here is the thing. I run an amd 3300+ with 1 gig ram..I have no other programs running with the game either. The graphics card is an nvidia gforce 5500 128 mb ram, its afew years old but runs wow and swg ok so I dont think its on my end.

There are times I hit lag walls where the screen stops and I hear the music but then the music stops and restarts after a second of silence then the game catches up. I wouldn't complain if it didn't interfere with my in game experience but this does.

Anyone know a problem I over looked? Is this a known issue?

Thanks for the help.

Turn off 3D sound in the options.

Just go play the game and have fun dammit.

all in all the conclusion is that disco doesn't need antagonist factions, it doesn't need phantoms, it doesn't need nomads, it doesn't need coalition and it doesn't need many other things, no AIs, the game is hijacked by morons to confuse the game with their dickwaving generic competition games mixed up with troll-of-the-day.

Funny how that 3dsound causes so many problems? What exactly is wrong with the 3dsound?

A wonderful question. I think it has something to do with the way older sound cards processed data. Newer ones can handle the buffer overrun, perhaps?

Dustin, your take?

EDIT: Thank you Igiss for post merge!

I try to turn it off but it seems to be grayed out for me. Any ideas why that would be?

And thank you for the help too.

Look for the line "3d_sound=1" or something similar and set the 1 to a 0.
