Memory Leak ?

Thu Jun 05, 2003 8:11 am by Nagroth

I was wondering if anybody else has the problem that FL (German Version 1.0) seems to bog down after playing for an hour or so, the fps drop dramatically and I have to reboot the machine. The funny thing is, this didn´t happen during the SP campaign, but has been occurring ever since I finished it and explore on my own. Sounds like a memory leak, but I am open to suggestions on how to fix it.
My system :
Athlon Xp+ 2000
GeForce 4200 Ti
512 MB DDR-RAM
Windows XP
Terratec X-Fire 1024 Sound Card
No mods installed.
I run the game with a 1024x768 resolution.

BTW, does anybody know if the mods that can be downloaded here are compatible to the German FL Version ?
Thanks,

Nagroth

Hi Nagroth,

When it happens Alt-Tab out and press ctrl-alt-del from there you'll be able to see how much memory FL is using. (Mine usually uses about 128mb of ram but i run in 1280x960 so yours should be slightly less...).

Check that you have no programs running in the background such as virus scanners (The scanners, not the auto protect programs..) also, if you have office installed go to Start>Programs>Startup and delete the office thing from here, this is a program which scans for office files every few hours.

One other thing that could cause ****y behaviour is spyware, go to www.lavasoft.de download the free adaware and check for spyware.

Hope that helps

I found it... it were the audio settings. Once I switched of the 3d sound (sounds better without anyway), the game runs much smoother.
