I have an odd problem while running RO. Basically what happens is upon mapload everything seems to be running great, even with all the settings turned up and resolution etc, even when the entire team is onscreen at the same time in the spawn areas, no framerate troubles.
However, after playing only something like five or ten minutes into the round, my framerate drops significantly to where its very hard to aim...it stays somewhat playable, but it tends to be very annoying seemingly how well it runs when I first fire the game up.
I'm not exactly sure what is causing this problem..I have the newest Nvidia drivers, made sure that I have only needed processes running, and defragged the hard drive etc. In the game, it does not matter what my settings are, i can run 1024x768 with all the textures turned up or down, or 1600x1200 with all textures on highest with HDR bloom etc and the framerate is always the same, starts out like water....and five to ten minutes later gets bogged down so badly its hard to play. I even tried running it in Direct 3D mode instead of 9.0 and have same results
I have DirectX 9.0c and the newest video drivers (even tried some older drivers, same deal) and I just can't seem to keep this game running smoothly for more than a few minutes despite the settings. Does anyone else seem to have this problem or know of a possible fix? or even what might be causing it? This is the only game that I have this problem with and its very annoying considering I can only really play for a short amount of time before I'm lagging so much I have to restart the entire game
Oh I should also point out that I never had the same performance issues with the mod, even in the earlier days, and I've had a fresh windows XP sp2 install about 3 months ago.
