Battlefield Vietnam & 9800Pro

blmptek · Oct 24, 2004, 05:14 PM

Hello all.
I have been searching all over these forums for a solution to my problem.

I reformated my HD last week and reinstalled all the drivers. I installed the Omega newsest drivers for my ATI 9800 Pro

When I play BFV, I get pauses during the game, when I moving around. I made some changes in the 3D section of the display drivers and it helped out. But I still get pauses during game play.

Any suggestions on what some of the settings should be?

I'm a noob in regards to settings for my display. some people say to turn off AA or AI. I don't know what that is.

Please help. Thanks.

VPU recover off?

blmptek · Oct 24, 2004, 05:54 PM

Hmm, I'll check that out.

what about the AA and AI. Off or on?

How oftenly does it occurr and when it does, is the harddrive accessing? It's a pretty RAM-intensive game and 512MB could be on the borderline depending on game settings and system configuration.

If you use alot of time on your games and want it all to work out, I'd recommend 1024MB ram. I'm afraid the 512mb gaming system days are over

I'm sure updating to 1024 will help you alot genrally.

I know I updated from 512 to 1024 a long time ago, when I had the same problem as you, but couldn't find out what it was either, when gaming Desert Combat. I then checked the ram usage in large maps in Desert Combat and the system used 640MB ram, which means we're swapping gamefiles

- Threw in another 512MB and the pc hasn't complained since.

do you have vietnam patched to 1.2? the original BFV fried 2 power supplies on me

blmptek · Oct 27, 2004, 05:53 PM

Yes, I do.

I turned VPU recover off and lower AA and something else. it works fine now in the medium video settings in the game.

bfv runs like crap for me when i max it out.

dice suck

blmptek · Oct 28, 2004, 09:16 AM

Damn, With that system and it runs like crap. I can run it at high now. I didn't have the cpu running at 2.08GHz like it should. I was running it at 1.25. Now it should even run better when I get my RAM

ya it happens to me too, but just when the map is loaded.....and its not bad......i got 512 mb ram and afterwards it runs fine even though im gonna upgrade my ram soon.........i usually used CAT drivers, i havn't had the chance to test BF:V with Omega drivers, but ya only solution is upgrading ur ram to a gig

Runs grrrreat here! Not maxed out obviously, but that's the nature of the beast. I guess I play it for the game and not graphics for the most part..I had the choppyness too with 512mb but I dropped another 256 stick in and it really helped -- make sure you free up ram and kill any programs you dont need too as this game really is a hog.

blmptek · Nov 12, 2004, 09:02 PM

Well I installed my second 512mb stick and the problem ws solved. I havent raised the graphics to high yet, so i will try that soon an dsee what happens.

Thanks for your guys help.

Umm, what? I'd love to know exactly how you think a software version fried your power supply...

eggs420 · Nov 14, 2004, 01:35 AM

Let me know how it goes on high - I think you need a 256mb card for that really cos it sucks for me. Single player or in small online matches it's fine but anything more than 12 players it chops like crazy. Medium works well IMO, and add lightmaps and shadows if you can handle it. Also make sure to do the following. I use '1000' but your milage will vary. The most common suggestion is to start with 400 and try 1000, and tweak from there but whatever.. http://www.techzonez.com/forums/arch...hp/t-9375.html
