Serious Gameplay problem

[Boger]

Hi there,

ill start from the beggining of this issue, because i know myself that every detail is helpfull in solving troubleshooting, so here we go:

A few days ago ive changed my comp a bit, my last setup was:

Athlon XP 2400+ @ 2000MHz
768 MB RAM DDR400
nVidia 6600GT w/ 163 ForceWare (newest)
Mobo ECS KT600-A w/ VIA KT600 Chipset
Win XP

Regnum didnt have then any stability problems, except standard crashes which is every1's problem and FPS drops, but thats standard for a 32-bit proc architecture.

Now i have this hardware:

Athlon 4200+ X2 Dualcore @ 2200MHz per proc
1024 MB RAM DDR800
nVidia 6600GT w/ ForceWare 163
Mobo AsRock AM2NF3-VSTA w/ nForce 250 Chipset
Win XP

And from the change ive started to have a issue like this:

I play w/o problems for something about 1 hour or so, then the game freezes for about 15 seconds, gamma increases, and after 15 sec its back to normal. But the normal stance lasts after the first freeze for about 2 too max 5 minutes, then again the same issue, all the time after the first freeze.
Then when i try to log again to Regnum, i get max to the character selection screen, which is also a bit different after occuring of this issue, because the animation there is super fast and choppy, i click PLay Game. Resources seem to download, but on 60% or so the game crashes with the standard crash error message. This problem occurs on both OpenGl and Direct3D rendering.

Ive made any step to see if my new system is stable, and the Stress Tests as well as testing on other games like Guild Wars, TES4: Oblivion, were 100% succesfull, no issues of this kind there, so its only a Regnum problem in my eyes.

I am making atm the test on "Safe-mode" in Regnum, so far after playing for some time i didnt have this issue, but ill keep on playing for some time to be sure on 100%. And playing on Safe mode is a bit pittyfull with this kind of hardware :ohill:

So, i ask for help, i have no idea relly whats happening, i tried what i could, from checking if my voltage is ok on the supplier to downloading multiple stress tests and drivers, all of them were good and all of the tests didnt occur any prblems with my system whatsoever.

EDIT: safe Mode test made.... same problem :rale:

Oh geez man, did you try using autodetect in your options? Hmm, I want to help you here, what else...

Gosh I really don't know what else to say, you know some people play the game at its fullest and that is sometimes the problem, they buy all this good stuff but it makes the game worse.

Did your post help me somehow? i doubt it, so stfu. Auto-detect makes my settings all on max btw.

oh come on bog, he was just trying to help, or at least offer moral support, don't get frustrated because you might turn off other people from helping (:

Froste, be advised, steer clear of these 2 when they're flaming, once they start they never stop lol.
