I have a problem with my system, driver or setting. The most annoying thing is that I can't see a reason why I am getting the problem. I really need some help this is driving me mad, here is what happened:
1. System Running Fine
- SOF 2 runs very nice even when using map jump command
- BattleField 1942 Multiplayer demo released
- I install refresh lock to make it work on xp at 85hz
- SOF2 lags really bad only when using the console to level jump, playing the game by clicking start new game or loading a saved game gives nice smooth performance.
- Tried drivers etc but everything failed
FORMATTED SYSTEM
2. Installed Sound Drivers, Graphics Drivers, Mouse Drivers
- Installed SOF2, game running fine even when level jumping
- Installed Refresh Lock, game still fine
- Installed Norton
- Game now lagging again when map jumping
FORMATTED SYSTEM
3. Installed Sound Drivers, Graphics Drivers, Mouse Drivers
- Installed SOF2, game running fine even when level jumping
- Installed Norton
- Game now lagging again when map jumping
Now you might think the problem is Norton, but I have been running Norton Internet Security with Anit-Virus for months along side SOF2 and I have had no problems. Now all of a sudden Norton seems to be making the game lag really bad but only when jumping a level. Becuase I was able to jump levels freely before without lag I am very concerned about my system. 3D Mark 2001 shows me scoring fine just as before.
My system is a dell system and when I first got the system the very first thing I did was install Norton, so it seems very strange that now when I install SOF2 and attempt a map jump that the game lags around. Does anyone have a clue what could be going on? Is there a setting or something I have not changed, I got the system with the OS pre-installed. Now I am the one installing the OS from stratch and I am getting this issue, what am I not doing to the system that dell did?
It only happens when I have Norton running and when I use the console to jump to levels, some kind of resource problem? Even though the system has just been fresh reinstalled?
