pls help some one

[bluestar]

i have a 2500xp with 1.5gig of 333 DDR ram and a FX5900 run on windows XP i also have a ADSL connection with a normal ping rate of 60.
but my frame rate in the game never goes over 40 FPS and in battles it drops to 5 6 why????
i have tryed the radeon 9500 same thing the only thing i can think of is that its a software porblem pls help before i loss all my hair

[NoSurrender]

because planetside is sooooo system demanding

[skater_d]

a cable connection might help. or it might be over packed hard drive. but i know that the fx5900 is made for planetside.trust me when i say the card isnt your problem.tell me how big your hd is.

[bluestar]

its a 60 g ime starting to think it might be my sound card i have a sb audigy player and the problems started when i put a microsoft sidewinder game voice. any thought.

thks in advance

[skater_d]

have you checked for viruses? maybe it was a bug in the game voice file. did you get the file off the net if so was it on a secure site?

[bluestar]

swept system no vires ime starting to wonder if it might be worth reinstalling windows as i have tryed everthing else.
also in big battle there is some sound lag on the game and the game realy slows down i have a senser theres a jam of information, i must admit i love this game but its getting to the point when do i cut my losss and look for anough game.

[skater_d]

i wouldnt quit just yet give the devs some .time demands have been heeped on them and they are forced to work tiressly to get the bugs fixed, new information added, and take care of such problems. i think its worth staying for. and i dont know what to do about your system. but you might pm powdahound he would know more than me. being that hes the moderator for the tech forum. but please keep us updated about your system tell us if it starts working and check back to this forum for any more advice.

geez i sound like im working this site

go to planetside.com for there tech support. You can talk to one of the tech.

[Everay]

dude, trust me, you need a system with like a gig of ram 2 gig prossesor and a new HIGH end video card to run this game decent, i too in big battles can drop to a frame rate a 5, and my ping is like a 90

[andrewcool]

Do you think 2gb ram is good? *Wonder if there will be 100gb ram when i get my computer which is so far war*

Does anybody know when they will make a vedio card that will support the game 101%?

[Sentrosi]

you have more than enough RAM. I would defrag your hard drive then attempt to play it again.

[bluestar]

i fixed the problem by formating my hard drive and reinstaling windows xp once i did that the game played like a dream on full games specks i am know getting a frame rate from 80 2 110 per secound i would like to thank all thoses that posted.
