Aki Dazrold Posted April 13, 2010 Share Posted April 13, 2010 I can play RR just fine, with the exception of one thing: The game lags horribly. Any time a wall collapses, something teleports, or my building count exceeds a certain number, the game slows down. It helps when I move the screen so it can't see the above in progress, but it gets quite annoying. Does anyone have any ideas on how to fix this? I will play RR whilst I wait for an answer.

Cirevam Posted April 13, 2010 Share Posted April 13, 2010 Do the memory mod. I can't remember the topic, but it's recent. If that doesn't fix it then try slowing the game speed down. My game stutters when I have it set higher than 250%. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aki Dazrold Posted April 13, 2010 Author Share Posted April 13, 2010 Noted. Do you happen to know which forum I can find that in? Also, another problem of slight annoyance: Every 56 seconds, the game disc will slow down, and the game will freeze for about four seconds or so until the disc speeds back up. Any fixes for that?

RockmoddeR Posted April 13, 2010 Share Posted April 13, 2010 I fixed this easily. First, if you're running ATi, download the newest catalyst control center. Second if it's nVidia, use the graphics override to take control of all graphics related to it. That fixed my problems both times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anonymouse Posted April 13, 2010 Share Posted April 13, 2010 Lawl LZ. Do you have an ATi graphics card or an nVidia graphics card? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Addictgamer Posted April 13, 2010 Share Posted April 13, 2010 Actually, I never saw anyone who has nvidia have that. Go to control panel. Look for NVIDIA contort panel somewhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Addictgamer Posted April 13, 2010 Share Posted April 13, 2010 That, I don't know. Memory Mod If setting it very high doesn't work, set it lower then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aki Dazrold Posted April 14, 2010 Author Share Posted April 14, 2010 Great. Now my game doesn't work at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sciguy Posted April 14, 2010 Share Posted April 14, 2010 yikes. Do what somebody did: they have 1GB ram, they took the origional value, set the first digit to 5 and the rest to 0, and it worked for them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aki Dazrold Posted April 14, 2010 Author Share Posted April 14, 2010 Luckily, I had a backup of the file from recently enough to not lose anything. Let me try again. Okay, it worked that time. Unfortunately, it didn't fix jack. Now to try a different value Dangit, that one didn't work either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RockmoddeR Posted April 17, 2010 Share Posted April 17, 2010 Well...I suppose you could try to reinstall all your graphics drivers. Look in the properties tab that you get when you right click the desktop. go to settings, and you'll see what display adapter your monitor is plugged into. Google for latest said adapter drivers, and install. That helped me once :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cyrem Posted April 26, 2010 Share Posted April 26, 2010 Here are 3 points from the readme: 1. On 32MB machines the game may run slowly due to the in-game audio help. To overcome this there are 2 versions of LEGO Rock Raiders on this CD. The first is STANDARD MODE for 32MB users and HIGH MODE for 64MB+ users. You can choose the desired version from the START/PROGRAMS/LEGO MEDIA/ROCK RAIDERS path. 2. On certain graphics cards we have found that textures may appear corrupt. Certain cards come with utilities allowing the user to alter texture memory, raising/lowering the texture memory can sometimes improve gamespeed. 3. If altering the utilities for your graphics card doesn't improve the performance, you can try one of the following 'command-line' instructions: -nosound (This will remove ALL sound except for video sequences in the game) -ftm (This makes you videocard use all available texture memory) -fvf (This can overcome 'fogging' on certain cards) -reward (This disables the animation on the reward screen) -nom (This disables texture management for Voodoo2 based cards) You might want to try some of those suggestions and try disabling all the audio tips.

Aki Dazrold Posted May 2, 2010 Author Share Posted May 2, 2010 1) Isn't going to work. I can't run the game in standard mode. 2) trying it now, but how would I even do that? 3) If by "command line" you mean adding the thing at the end of the shortcut, I can't do that either, for the same reason responsible for #1.

Aki Dazrold Posted June 11, 2010 Author Share Posted June 11, 2010 Because my shortcuts don't work. That and If I try to run it from the folder, I don't get the option to run it in such. Ironically, running it from the folder is the only way I can get it to work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McJobless Posted June 11, 2010 Share Posted June 11, 2010 Could you not put the shortcut IN the gamefolder? Would that not work? And what is your computers specs? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aki Dazrold Posted June 13, 2010 Author Share Posted June 13, 2010 Nope, that doesn't work either. Specs? Uh... XP? Dimension C521? Not sure what you are asking for here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cirevam Posted June 14, 2010 Share Posted June 14, 2010 Computer specifications generally include the operating system (XP in your case), the processor, the amount of installed RAM, the video card, and other bits. You don't need the other bits, but we need to know what hardware is actually running in your little Dell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
