LOL , I didnt realize he has it there... WHAT are you doing kid?!?! Just use that for storage, dont run anything from there.
whoops, well I needed the space. I guess I'll have to move it back. I have some many games, I don't know where to put them all . If a game is still running good from there, is it still ok to run them from there? I mean cause I run plenty of other games off there without a hitch.
Jetro, I have some of the same in-game slowdown, which manifests itself when 12-20 soldiers/vehicles appear on the same screen, but I always attributed it card inadequacy (1G RAM, but running an inadequate GeForce FX 5200), not overheating. Anyway, I saw Gen'l Knight's swapfile suggestion, and I made a modest increase from 1234mb to the max of 2000mb. I'll see if that helps in my situation.
I have no problem with Operation Liliput, has been as smooth as anything so far, havent had a crash there either. I have experienced some choppyness on Fall Gelb, yesterday it ran smooth with about 55 people, but then it crashed.
Well its only happened when I looked at dense foliage. Tons of soldiers + vehicles has never realy had that effect on my rig.
My comp is a laptop, however(I don't know if that's a gaming sin or not). And the fan for it is located on the bottom. I'm assuming the thing was being pushed but wasn't getting adequate cooling since the problem itself seemed to correct itself after my little quick fix.
Fall Gelb has also given me the issue and the same fix knocked my framerate back up to pretty darn smooth.
But increasing my swapfile might be a good idea. I'll give that a go as well.
It was quite obviously graphics card overheating problem and nothing else. It always results in described problem.
To get memory leaks something bad has to be in the engine, map itself is not that advanced.
