My EF is lagging hard

[WhatABeast]

Ever since I downloaded this mod my CoH has been lagging a lot and it isn't enjoyable to play anymore. Can anyone help me?

if ur pc is strong it might be the costumed maps (a map made by EF devs)

Please tell us the exact situation. When does it happen?

If you playing bridgemaps and block the bridges, the AI continiously builds Conscripts, because the have no pop cap. This results in enormes CPU use and f**ked up network stability.

my graphics card is like 8800 NVIDIA, 2 gigs of ram, Intel(R) Core(TM) Duo Cpu @2.67 GHz

You shouldn't be having problems with the EF mod, have you tried lowering your RES maybe your pushing your 8800 too hard.

8800s run great on 1320 and below in EF because of the spammed infantry..

i have like a 20 inch monitor so I can't put the RES down really

[BlackMensa]

are you playing against AI or against humans?

Are you blocking bridges?

[WhatABeast]

AI. When I'm playing the new EF maps it really lags, especially 8 player maps I have to crank everything to low as possible for it to be O.K to play.

anyone?

I've never had that problem, after I massacre the waves of conscripts and the occasional tank the AI "gives up" and starts building only Katyushas. Is that normal?

well - yes you can - and unless you are looking hard - it will just look  like super AA was turned on
(ie little soft/blurry)
also - I run fast except on extra large maps
and shadows are also a performance KILLER
run some tests with different settings- I use xfire which
give me in-game fps

if you can keep over 30 fps in single player small map
it should stay over 20 in large multi player maps
(you will not lag anyone else till you fit around 10 fps)
this is not a 1st person shooter - so you do not need 6o fps

FWIW I've also found the game laggy now (coinciding with low frame rates), and typically in multiplayer I've not had this before.  I've even had stability issues with CoH hanging with the audio in a tight loop and no mouse response...CoH won't even be killed with task manager so you have to restart the PC.  This happened 4 times last night.

My hardware has been unchanged (EN8800 ULTRA, 4GB RAM, Audigy, XP) but I put it down to the masses of units we now have...  Tonight I've dumbed down the video settings (performance test says "great", but always did).

I'm pretty sure this is just the price we pay for wanting eye candy AND large squads (and heaps of them!)

I got this 2x per month even before EF
