Actually, I had bought this topic back into light because I had revived another topic regarding the same situation; hoping to attract some more attention. The swapping problems have affected numerous users and I chose 1 post regarding the situation to support my claim. I could have included many others but I am not that desperate.
And yes, I had already tried fast defrag 2 weeks ago. I assure you, the problem does not reside with windows interacting with the swap file, (as games send requests to the operating system to do these functions.). If this were the case, all of similar installed applications or at least some of them would be experiencing the same issues.
Im not even sure at this point what the problem may be. I am sure that it has nothing to do with my SATA drive directly, but it MAY be the drivers, it may be the way the game is telling windows what to do with hardware (Again, drivers) or it simply may be that the Operating System itself has enabled or disabled functions needed by renegade in effect to adjust system resources or change in interface or hardware (in this case, my SATA drive being installed) Again, this would fall under driver problem. To this point; I could only guess some more; and without facts - It is all speculation.
Since updating and using reference drivers does not solve the problem, I am positive the problem lies elsewhere. I am pretty sure it is within windows, but it also may be that renegade has problems interacting with something else windows related. Again, without facts - it is all speculation.
Thanks for the input everyone. but I need something more.
