Hi
I been having probems with my Renegade. The FPS starts at 60 fps and then it just drops to 5 fps then back up to 60, it happens quite often.
Otherwise known as FPS freeze. Renegade still runs in background while I am gettin the fps freeze because lets say.
I am on top of walls flying map and walking to the ledge then suddenly I get the FPS freeze then I end up falling down to my death.
http://gdgt.com/acer/aspire/5740g/specs/ is the website of my laptop specs
I am running windows 7 64 bit. On a laptop Acer Aspire 5740G
i5 430m CPU 2.26ghz quad core 3mb l3 cache 1066 mhz
4gb DDR 3 memory
Widescreen 15.6 inches
Screen resolution:
Other (1366 x 768)
Graphic Card is Integrated ATI RADEON 512mb.
I have tried Renegade on it's own. It still does the same thing. I have tried corepatch, Same and included scripts 3.4.4 and same thing then I tried scripts on it's own same thing and tried 2.9.2 scripts same thing
I have tried AA on all diff settings same thing. I have tried window mode. same thing. So bascially I have tried everything seperated and together. Have no luck at all. even tried with different screen sizes. Nope
I even updated my bios chipset etc on my laptop
It's still doing this.
Does anyone know why? and how to fix it then please tell me thank you.
Here is a short video to explain what I am talking about.
Thank you if anyone knows why.

Run in windowed mode, put task manager next to renegade and sort on CPU power used, play and check if a process takes 99 % CPU power when your fps drops to 5.
Also check the little led indicating hdd activity for specific hdd activity during the fps drop.
Did you try putting performance lower (in the Ren options), so less detailed but faster? If yes: did it make a difference? Is it always a drop to exactly 5 or sometimes different?
Graphic Card is Integrated ATI RADEON 512mb. --> integrated graphic cards always suck, but this seems a more specific problem. If the problem were your machine, you'd always get low FPS, not sudden drops.

Hi
Tankarmy posted for me, I am the one that is having the FPS problem.
When my FPS freeze my CPU down to 3% and it goes no higher than 25% I have tried lowest details but it's still doing the same thing.
What do you mean by that? Where would I check the little led?

Thank you for your help, I have added you on MSN and maybe you could help me further via MSN?
Thanks
I am also running wireless with a router, I don't think it has anything to do with that. I haven't checked wired yet.

I uninstalled them all. Still the same, Let me disable the windows firewall built in and try.
Edited
Nope turning off window defender didn't help at all. The blue led didnt flash.

AA off, still having FPS freeze, In Single player mode FPS randoms from 60 to 25 and I also get FPS freeze but not to under 10.
Ping and SFPS is fine on multi player mode.

Update.
I have installed Windows Vista 32 bit, it's still doing the same thing.
When my Renegade FPS freeze my CPU percent drops down to 2% then Renegade is running normal the CPU percent is about 20%.
I however haven't tried core patch and scripts on Vista. I don't think it's gonna help because I have nothing installed onto Renegade folder or Data.
The laptop is about 5/6 days old brand new. Could the laptop perhaps be faulty? I doubt it because I just downloaded Just Cause 2 game demo and it was running fine. no FPS freeze at all. I am not sure what is causing Renegade to drop FPS.????
SFPS and ping is fine.

Already have those.
I bascially downloaded every driver on acer support/driver section that I have for the laptop and nothing helped.

You could also try to set the affinity to 1 core.
While game is running:
1. Open TaskManager
2. Go to 'Processes' tab
3. Find 'Game.exe'
4. Right-mouse on 'Game.exe'
5. Choose 'Set Affinity...'
6. Remove all checks from the checkboxes, except 1 (so only CPU0 is checked or only CPU1 etc)
7. Click 'OK'
8. Close TaskManager
9. Go back into renegade
10. Hope its fixed

Hi
Set affinity gives me an error. As shown in the screenshot
Carrier, I have also added my graphic details in the screenshot too.
I will keep trying to figure out how to get set affinity.
EDITED
I have set affinity to 1 core, I am still getting the FPS freeze. I will reinstall Renegade without scripts to see if it helps.

Ok, it's not a VRAM shortage...
Renguard is a wonderful initiative
