oki doki, in order this is what we have tried so far and the problems twinkle is having on her pc still
we have borrowed a new hdd clean installed windows, all driver including the latest dual core etc... Downloaded a fresh version of regnum Tried the game from above It ran too fast still Formatted the drive, tried the same with xp pro it ran too fast still Formatted again installed windows 2000 and all driver It STILL ran to fast So we are a bit better on speed thanks to the advice of boger with the drivers he suggested but the game is still too fast to play and it annoys the shit out of other players The game itself is running about 3 times it should from the initial ngd studio man dropping onto the screen onwards If anyone has any idea please let us know as ive run out. Twinkle will be playing on either mine or her sons pc when she goes to war but do remember we like to use our own pcs sometimes. At these time she will use her warp factor 10 pc to level her character up in the only place she can, the wz. She will not however attack anyone unless they attack her first at those times. This is all we can think of until we get her pc to run the game at a sensible speed We thank you for your help and patience in this matter, and any support is appreciated Your friendly arrow magnet Ink P.S. the pc is not overclocked in any way |

and you tried disabling one of the 2 cpu cores? tried underclocking, tried setting the ram settings to DDR/DDR2 standard spec speeds and timings? Tried underclocking the cpu, the machine have anything special in any way done to it at all? The bios is at it's most recent revision?
Its only this macine with this account or is it this machine with any account? Do you have other spare hardware in your other machines to swap around, such as ram, cpu and gpu? [NOTE] if swapping out the cpus ALWAYS change the thermal goo each and every time you remove the heatsink from the cpu, airpockets in the goop can cause overheats. I recomend using something like arctic silver 5 and their cleaners to remove whats there and what to put in place of the stock goop.

Please try the experimental server, we have enabled an alternate timing method.

Surak, you are a star. The speed problem is now solved and we know it will be on the main server on the next update.
Thank you to all the other people who helped. It must be said i was highly amused in the way they got twinkle to run but im not telling :P Last edited by Inkster; 09-04-2007 at 05:09 PM. |

What I don't get surak is that I read earlier that server-lag (character repositioning) was related to anti-speedhack measures, why don't they apply to Twinkle? Or were them disabled?
And Inkster, you don't need a spare cpu to disable one of the cores, just go into the BIOS when you boot your PC (Press DEL to enter setup, or another key depending on your BIOS). Finally I really doubt you would be getting those problems under GNU/Linux, because the game doesn't support multiple cpus under Linux; if you had a spare drive to install XP, just try installing Ubuntu (www.ubuntu.com, just follow instructions). |

They make you chase a chicken?
And yes, most things I talked about are features of the bios in good mobos, not usually features you'll find in a machine from HP or Dell, but are a great set of tools to have as youcn use them to force your computer to work in different ways, got a program that needs little cpu power but needs tons of memory bandwidth bt latency of the ram isn't a big issue? You can set that up to maximize that app's preformance, need more power then yor CPU can handle and need tighter memory timings bandwidth be dammed? you can do that too. A good mobo with loads of features is not to be underestimated, even if you think yo'll never need them now, eventally you may need to.

Hi, my friend has this problem too, but only on official server, he's looking forward to next update too.
Only weird thing is that it's running superfast only when regnum window is active. 1 in-game day takes 0.5 real life seconds, but when some other window is activated, regnum runs at normal speed.

Im not sure about this but it sounds basic problem if u have powernowd active or such. Make sure your computer runs same clock speed all the time.
Almost all cases the game checks how fast your computer is. if u start the game when your computer runs at 50% clock speed (like 1gHz), and then the cpu raises the clock speed to 100% (2gHz), The game still thinks its 1 ghz and thats why its acts too fast. typical proplem with laptops. -worse than satan- |
