WoW!!!! Found it!!! It was that my motherboard has onboard gfx chip and it was not disabled in BIOS and maybe it got into conflict with the real PCIe one when I installed drivers (it installed drivers for the integrated instead of the standalone gfx card) and maybe WW1G somehow (unlike other apps) f...
I am unable to prove it, but I also have the suspicion that my problems were caused by the Win XP updates (but whch one/ones ??) Knowing of some problems with SP3 I had always stayed clear of it, until recently, and do you know why ? :bonk: Just to be able to install the latest version (and plug-in...
Basically my game does not load if sounds are enabled. I describe my problem in this thread: http://www.ageod-forum.com/showthread.php?t=14051 . Read on from post # 13 :) The strange thing is that my hardware is the same and last year WW1 worked OK. I installed a new AV, but my game still hangs if ...
Game does not install any C++ runtime library. Everything is included (linked) inside the game executable. But... if you find some VC DLLs on your PC, that means some other applications use them! So if you remove those runtime libs, you could make those other applications do not work anymore! Thank...
Below a pic showing my installed versions of the Visual C++ redistributables. I do not remember what applications/games installed them. Is it similar to your configuration ? Does anyone spot anything amiss ? Thanks Might be a very good catch... Actually, just a few weeks ago I was suffering exactly...
I think yes, hopefully... Hi, I dl-ed visual studio and attached to ww1.exe after the map has been loaded (I tried to attach before as well) but I don't see anything at the "Threads" section, no info at all. At the output section I see the only possibly suspicious line is: "Unknown wave header in f...
You must have Visual Studio. Launch the game and enter the map. Now launch Visual Studio (Visual C++) and connect to the game process WW1.EXE (menu Tools, Connect to process...). Now click the process pause button and examine the tabs of Thread. Here you can see some informations about game threads...
Game Map uses the main thread. AI has a dedicated thread. Mouse engine too. Network engine has then a thread (unused in single player mode though). And so on... My idea is that some threads are almost frozen, thus making the main process slowed down because it must synch with the other threads, as ...
Provided no resident process or antivirus or firewall is making WW1 work so slowly, and you have no RAM or HD access hang, the only reason can be Windows and your CPU. Also because you're running the game under Win XP, that has no UAC! :bonk: (In fact, Vista and Win7 users commonly disable UAC when...
I mean that there could be some resident process that slows down WW1, mainly when the multi-threading engine is working (map). So, run the Task Manager of Windows when WW1 is running, list the processes, locate that ones that use most CPU and try to kill them, so check if WW1 performances improve. ...
@clockwork & crazzyivan: try to set to off the "AI Memory" option (WW1 Config tool), as suggested on this forum by a guy that experieced game lags like yours. This, provided the game sluggishness is only in the map window, could mean the OS makes the game IO/RAM-access operations slowed down. Other...
I get about 25 FPS. VRAM = Video RAM. When video RAM is not enough to store the huge game map, virtual ram is used. Use the Performances tab of the Task Manager to check the virtual ram usage. Hi, with turning on "low color depth" there is no difference at all in the terrible speed. I checked and t...
Just for reference: how many FPS are you getting when AI is not working on avarage? When I get home I'll try what you've suggested, by VRAM do you mean the virtual memory (aka swap files)? Where should I set it? At windows? Also I am almost sure it's not a memory issue, on the contrary I see that t...
I get about 25 FPS. VRAM = Video RAM. When video RAM is not enough to store the huge game map, virtual ram is used. Use the Performances tab of the Task Manager to check the virtual ram usage. May I ask your computer's specs, as I have ATI radeon HD 5670 gfx card with 1GB dedicated fast video memor...
Ok, I'm back after a messed night session of PBEM play-testing... :cuit: Well, let's see if the lags are caused by RAM consumption and usage of virtual memory.... so try to reduce the VRAM consuption: set "Low color depth" option on, use WW1 Configuration tool. This should reduce the VRAM consuptio...
OK, I tried everything I could,I even set affinity to one,2,3 and 4 cores, made special bat for XP with affinity settings, nothing. Max 3.4-5 fps on avarage... Really this way it's absolutely unplayable, what a pitty, I was/am looking forward so much to play this game, it looks really interesting. I...
I'm using WIN XP SP3 as an operating system, are you running Win 7 or Vista? Perhaps there's some OS issues behind your problem? In the NVIDIA control panel there is an option to set 3-D settings that allows customizing whether an application uses its own graphic settings or those of your graphics ...
The Gold Edition Map features a conventional North at the top map orientation. As published the original WW1 map was oriented differently. Checking this box should make no difference to the scroll speed an frame rate in my experience. Using "AI Logs" slows down combat resolution and AI movement in ...
Also what is exaclty "display game map of gold edition" and is it needed? And what is AI memory and AI log in the configuration settings? I also noticed that in the configuration screen it says that my security level is 3 (slow), what does it mean? I can't change it though there... Is it the fact th...
AI does no activity in Tutorials, unless during battles. What is the resolution? (Anyway I don't think it's a matter of resolution...) Be sure you're the PC Admin, that the game has been installed and is running with PC Admin priviledges and that no Anti-Virus is slowing down the game. Check also t...

Hello Adam, Single code option does not work with XP, yes. So be sure you're logged in with PC Administrator priviledges (and you installed the game with such priviledges too). Also, check the antivirus and configure it making WW1.EXE a trusted application. Finally, consider the game is normally ve...
Hi, I've just bought this game but it runs unplayably slow. Scrolling is very very slow, single core mode does not work (maybe because I have XP), my computer is quite good: quad core 3.2ghz phenom, 4gb ram, 1gb video ram gfx card, etc. I tried locking full screen in the configuration, but it could ...
