windows7 ... strange slowdowns of game speed ... game runs in "slow motion" for some seconds ... In the same pc (so, same hardware) and windows xp the game ran without any problems ... Asus p5k, intel e6550
Any of these options should fix this problem:
1. When the game is running, also run any dummy background process (e.g., WinRAR benchmark) that would load CPU at 100% (also, set Idle priority for that background process).
2. Disable Intel EIST option in motherboard's BIOS settings (make sure C-states options C1/C1E/C2 are enabled if power consumption does matter - normally this should not cause issues, but not always...).
3. Use XC_Engine with new timing method (TimingFix) enabled.
* Option #2 is recommended since it also fixes else problems caused by EIST in some cases - significantly increased DPC latency (up to 10-50 times), improper functioning of some devices and drivers, sound distortions/'clicks', video 'stuttering' effects, etc..
