Hey there

I just installed Renegade on my new Comp with Windows 7 and it has a weird problem. It runs absolutely fluid but every 30 seconds or so it stands still for like .5 to 1 second. It's realy annoying. I know I had the same issue on my last comp running Vista and i figured it out to solve it... But as it is with Software problems you should write em down because you can't remember it the next time oO

Anyone of you got a quick fix? Tried all the compatibilty modes already...

Press f8, then type 'fps' and hit enter. You will get some extra info in the top right corner. Does FPS drop when u stutter?

You can find me in The KOSs2 (TK2) discord while I'm playing. Feel free to come and say hi! TK2 discord

This has been happening to me for about 2 years now. You really just get used to it after a while.

I get a solid 60fps pretty much at all times except every 30-50 seconds, it will give a quick little jump or stutter. It's really fast, like .2-.5 seconds, but it's enough to get annoying if you're fighting someone.

This problem has also followed me into Reborn and APB. It also has been an issue over the use of three different graphics card upgrades.

And yes, the FPS does jump down, but it happens so quickly, that the counter doesn't accurately show the number. (I will be at 60, the frames will stutter, and it will say 40 and then 60 again)

Clearly a bottleneck. This can be about anything. My on board sound card was the bottle neck on a previous laptop! I bought one of those usb soundcards for 10 € and problem solved!

Try defragging? You can check out Defraggler

Bumping this topic because I started playing Renegade after a long break. I still get this problem even now with 4.0 and my new GeForce 560 SLI setup.

It's very distracting and I often get killed because of it. Especially when fighting other infantry or if I need to hit an enemy tank in a quick split second before I blow up.

I have gone through many different components on this computer. In fact, from the original computer that I had, none of the parts remain at all. New mobo with onboard sound. New graphics cards. New ram. New CPU (in fact I just upgraded to a quad core last month). New PSU. New HDDs...

If there is some component that is causing a bottle neck... I have no idea what that component could be.


As far as defragging goes, I defrag almost every week, so that isn't it.

My guess would be shitty antivirus.

I use Avast! and it has never given me problems before.

I have been using it for quite a long time, but I think this problem dates back to even before I started using it.

I used Avast for 6months a while ago and yeah, it is pretty good. Until you discover that as soon as it comes into contact with a virus/trojan it freaks out and let's itself get buttfucked by the virus/trojan and leaves your system wide open. I'd really switch to bitdefender or nod32.

These days I tend to just use Microsoft Security Essentials, its pretty damn good considering its free and most tests show that its just as effective, if not better than, the vast majority of subscription services.

It also doesn't happen to rape your processor every time it wants to scan something. Always a handy feature.

It's always stopped those things for me... It aborts connections and prevents me from opening corrupt files/folders. For the oddball chance that something does get through, I use Malwarebytes to scan and eliminate whatever threat there is.
