Hey all. Im having a rather unique problem, I have tried everything I don't know to how to solve it.
I've owned C&C renegade for a while now, and I have recently set it up on my Epia system :
Epia M 800mhz
2x128mb PC133
PowerColor R7500 PCI
Samsung 8.4GB 5400RPM
Everything is fine. Installation is perfect .. when I play Online / Single player, the hard drive DOES NOT STOP swapping. The levels load fine, and I can connect to online servers .. but It's really annoying because it hinders my frame rate bigtime (Like 0.5fps). But when I play Battlefield 1942 or Quake 2, they run fine. No swapping problems. With renegade ..hell.
These are the settings I have enabled :
In Windows 98 :
Virtual Memory set to either 150 / 450 or Automatic (makes no differnece)
File system read ahead optimization is full.
For hard drive settings, DMA is enabled.
In bios :
HDD Block mode transfer is enabled.
In Renegade :
640x480x16bit - Low detail - 11khz audio / 8bit / stereo
If anyone can freakin' help me please do not hesitate to drop a reply. This is really annoying I dont know what is causing the problem.
Thanks
