evil1182 Posted March 2, 2008 Share Posted March 2, 2008 hmm...I don't see how a mod will make the game load up like that. You have Vsync on in the game and in your graphics CP? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SESbb30 Posted March 2, 2008 Author Share Posted March 2, 2008 yeah, v-sync was on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MarkB Posted March 2, 2008 Share Posted March 2, 2008 Do you have a lot of HDD access at the time when it's slow, and does this reduce when the game runs OK? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SESbb30 Posted March 2, 2008 Author Share Posted March 2, 2008 i dont think so, but eventually it just starts running smooth, i dont really mind it if it only does it in the menus, but if it does it in the game......grrrr. ill try to keep it running only in the menu and see if it smoothes out.

NCballerx88 Posted March 2, 2008 Share Posted March 2, 2008 Are U using a laptop by any chance? was curious as to how a laptop would affect whats happening to the game? SESbb30, i had been having similar trouble, re-installed everything, and now only the gameplay lags. it doesnt lag when a pitch is coming, but everything else lags. i do play on a laptop, so my problem is probably different than yours.

NCballerx88 Posted March 2, 2008 Share Posted March 2, 2008 I have a laptop and my game is fine. whats the specs on your laptop? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigRog Posted March 2, 2008 Share Posted March 2, 2008 Im not sure but as long as you have a decent videocard and at least 512 mb the game should run fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pujols Posted March 2, 2008 Share Posted March 2, 2008 I have 256MB of ram, and the only lag I get is throwing to a base. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NYM Posted March 2, 2008 Share Posted March 2, 2008 Do you have any programs such as limewire, itunes, aol, etc running? Programs like those can slow down certain games and not others. Make sure the only program running is MVP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SESbb30 Posted March 2, 2008 Author Share Posted March 2, 2008 no other programs running at all. and i have enough ram and i know my graphics card is good enough. geforce or whatever 8500. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NCballerx88 Posted March 3, 2008 Share Posted March 3, 2008 Im not sure but as long as you have a decent videocard and at least 512 mb the game should run fine. im positive i got 512 or above ram and over 100 gig hard drive free, but i have the intel graphics media accelerator x3100, its a chipset but is said to be made for gaming and watching dvds. do you know how i can check to see if the vertical sync is on?

meteamo Posted March 16, 2008 Share Posted March 16, 2008 If the game runs slower with the controller, then maybe the game has to initialize the controller it uses as soon as the game loads and it takes a while to initialize this controller. You can still try to increase the virtual memory (see below) to see if this affects anything. And if the game runs slow itself with the controller, then maybe the controller has a delay in getting its instructions to the machine or such. If this is the case, then increasing the virtual memory may not work. And last but not least, if the controller didn't do this before and if connecting it to another USB port (if uses one) doesn't help, maybe it's time to get a new controller. Side Note - Just because you have 512 MB RAM doesn't mean that your game can run slow. It depends upon the memory of the other programs and processes you have running as well. You can check this in the task manager and check to see how much free memory you have right before you would start up your MVP (or any other) game. If you have enough hard drive space, you can increase your virtual memory. Virtual memory doesn't run as fast as normal memory but it helps. With huge hard drives now-a-days, having a huge virtual memory setting shouldn't be an issue anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
