petep1980 Posted March 30, 2009 Share Posted March 30, 2009 All of a sudden when using the 08 Mod stadiums with larger files run sooo slowly. It seems no matter what I do to the visual options, or end desktop processes stadiums like Dodger Stadium, RFK, etc. won't run smoothly. Any advice out there?

Yankee4Life Posted March 30, 2009 Share Posted March 30, 2009 What are your specs? Did previous versions of Dodger Stadium work well for you? How about RFK? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
petep1980 Posted March 30, 2009 Author Share Posted March 30, 2009 Intel Pentium 2.20 GHz. I'm not really sure how to check my RAM. Windows Vista. It worked fine before, but any Stadium over 4100kb in memory (which is at least half) plays horribly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It worked fine before, but any Stadium over 4100kb in memory (which is at least half) plays horribly. That's odd. It seems as if you have enough clock speed to run this game. Try to go back to an earlier version of Dodger Stadium (the ones before Rolie's z-mod version) and test that out. I also think that because you are running Vista that you have more than enough RAM to run this game too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
petep1980 Posted March 30, 2009 Author Share Posted March 30, 2009 It has to be an issue with my computer. Not sure what the heck the deal is. This is annoying. The game is almost unplayable right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maestro23 Posted March 30, 2009 Share Posted March 30, 2009 What's your video card? I hope its not an integrated one. That in conjuction with Vista and 3GB RAM... probably the problem you're having with the updated stadiums. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
petep1980 Posted March 30, 2009 Author Share Posted March 30, 2009 Not sure what the video card is, but this is stupid. It worked fine for ages. I don't think I installed anything. Argh!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
petep1980 Posted March 30, 2009 Author Share Posted March 30, 2009 I re-installed the 08 Mod and it's running a little better. I think I may have had a crappy datafile installed or something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ok, use the datafile that came with the 08 mod and then try to play a game in Dodger Stadium. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
petep1980 Posted March 30, 2009 Author Share Posted March 30, 2009 It still plays like crap. This is irritating. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maestro23 Posted March 30, 2009 Share Posted March 30, 2009 It still plays like crap. This is irritating. Again, what is your video card? If you are using an integrated video card (one that shares your 3GB RAM), you might have problems running the '08 mod w/its more detailed graphics. Vista likes a lot of RAM just by itself.

petep1980 Posted March 30, 2009 Author Share Posted March 30, 2009 It used to work fine before. I swear I didn't install anything new on CPU. Now it runs weird. Occasionally before when I had a number of programs open it would run choppy. I would close programs, and when I resumed it ran fine. Video Card (I think) Intel G33/G31 Express Chipset Family Total Available Graphics Memory 286 MB Dedicated graphics memory 0 MB Dedicated system memory 128 MB Shares system memory 158 MB Display adapter driver version 7.14.10.1409 Primary monitor resolution 1440x900 DirectX version DirectX 9.0 or better I have to think it's some kind of RAM problem with my computer.

petep1980 Posted March 31, 2009 Author Share Posted March 31, 2009 Well after increasing "physical memory" to the max, and shutting down whatever I can in the background it's mildly playable. It just dawned on me that this whole thing came about when I loaded KG's most recent rosters. I know it's impossible for that to affect it, but whatever.

Just a suggestion: If you are going to use that machine for gaming, I would look into getting another video card with it's own dedicated memory.

petep1980 Posted March 31, 2009 Author Share Posted March 31, 2009 Thanks, I may look into it. MVP 05 is the only game I play on here other than minesweeper. I'll have to see what decent video cards run. Any recommendations? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
petep1980 Posted March 31, 2009 Author Share Posted March 31, 2009 Maesto I went out and bought a new video card. Smooth as silk. Good call. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
