Game stutters / lags alot

(1/3) > >>

andre2:
Hi,

the game stutters alot soon after i´m into a level. Let´s say i can move three squares, then the movement to the next one is delayed. And that over and over again through all the game.

My PC:
4GB DDR2 RAM
Athlon 64 X2 4200+
Gigabyte (dont know the type) with onboard graphics
...


So is my hardware to weak? Where can i find a solution? Are there any out?


EDIT: With the task manager in the backroung i noticed a good CPU usage mostly over 50-70%. So is DoomRL CPU hungry?

Thexare:
I never had any issues like that, with half your RAM and a weaker processor, but the graphics mode in particular is very CPU-hungry, yes.

Does it run better for you in the console (text-based) mode, or does it have the same problem there? And what operating system are you on?

LuckyDee:
I'm suffering from the same issue from time to time, but only very incidentally. IIRC, it's actually gone once a new level is loaded.

2DeviationsOut:
Well, I'm going to assume that you mean that the graphical version is CPU hungry. It's more cpu-intensive than the ascii version, to be sure. My laptop lags on it, but then it's a Turion 64 x2 processor, and 2gb of ddr2 ram. My gaming rig smashes through it, since it's got a Intel 3960X 6core/12thread processor clocked at 5Ghz, with 32GB of DDR3 at 2600 Mhz. I'm at work now, so I'll benchmark it on my gaming rig when I get home.

2DeviationsOut:
Alright, my framerate at the menu is 2500-2600FPS, and in game I get an average of 1000FPS, with occasional drops to 850FPS, and bumps up to 1200FPS. DoomRL is loaded onto my solid-state drives.

I'll re-bench this a bit later once my new GPUs get in, I'm picking up a Tri-Sli set of MSI GTX 680 Lightnings
