cornny Posted July 12, 2006 Share Posted July 12, 2006 I think I finally found out, the lag problem is due to the inconsecutive data on your Hard Disk. Try to recombine your HD data with something like "Perfct Disk" or Windows "Disk Defragmentor", see if it has become better, if that still can't satisfy you, try this way as I did: 1.Have a copie of you MVP folder on other disk, also the folder in Mydocuments, which contains your .sav files. 2.uninstall MVP05, delete all files and folders for MVP 3.install again and install official patches. 4.move some files back from your copie : .sav files models.big uniforms.big portraits.big stadium folder and install all mods you need. Because we installed mods long time seperatedly, the files become inconsecutive on our HD, if we install all mods in one time, the data can be consecutive. edit: correct name for Disk Defragmentor, thanks Fred13.

Matroska Posted July 12, 2006 Share Posted July 12, 2006 Yea, if you install it together the fragments will be closer and will perform much better for slower hard drives.

cornny Posted July 12, 2006 Author Share Posted July 12, 2006 wouldn't disk defragmentor do the same thing? Yes, "Disk Defragmentor", that's what I meant by saying "Winidows defualt program".

cornny Posted July 12, 2006 Author Share Posted July 12, 2006 do you run the disk defragmentor before uninstalling MVP or after reinstalling it? Just before reinstalling it would be OK.

big shmooz Posted July 12, 2006 Share Posted July 12, 2006 Guys, not that it matters, but is seems eveybody here is spelling it wrong. It's disk defragmenter. Btw... with windows XP, defragmenting is not really that much of an issue, because windows itself happens to handle the files pretty well. Also, most people use faster hard drives (7200 rpm or more) these days. Hence it's not an issue anyway. (Just some heads up info from somebody who builds computers.) More important may be cleaning out your cache periodically. Windows stores files unnecessarily that can actually slow down your hard drive performance. Also going with at least 1 gig of ram can really boost performance. More than 1 gig though is overkill & may actually decrease performance. (unless you are running graphic intensive software) Another piece of advice is to check your computer periodically for spyware or adware. (& cleaning it out if anything is found) Beware though, that if you disable some adware from certain programs, that program may cease to function properly or perhaps completely. My final point is, it can't hurt to defrag. So if somebody wants to take the time to do it, go for it.

cornny Posted July 13, 2006 Author Share Posted July 13, 2006 Found a quick way: Recently we're all keep updating portraits.big, if you feel the game is lag, just move portraits.big to another disk and then copy&paste back to replace. Became much better for me, you guys can try it. Link to comment https://www.mvpmods.com/forums/topic/22239-solution-for-lag-problem/#findComment-275830 Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChicagoCubs720 Posted July 13, 2006 Share Posted July 13, 2006 to remove unnecessary files, click Start/Programs/Accesories/System Tools/Disk Cleanup. Check all the boxes. It might seem like it's frozen once you start it, but it is working. it just takes a long time Link to comment https://www.mvpmods.com/forums/topic/22239-solution-for-lag-problem/#findComment-276028 Share on other sites More sharing options...
