I did not mean compiz, but the xorg composite extension... This now gets automatically loaded by the X server. You can check if it's running by entering in a terminal:

Code:

xdpyinfo | grep -i composite

If you get a match, enter what i told you above in /etc/X11/xorg.conf, restart X and try again

running with a gtx 280 (nvidia) I also notice a heavier fps drop than ever before

Im also playing RO on ArchLinux (64bit) and have also the catalyst driver installed. I have noticed that the new catalyst version 8.12 is a bit more laggy than 8.11 or 8.8 is.
An advantage of catalyst 8.12: its often possible (not allways, system crashs possible) to change from fullscreenmode to window mode, that was not possible with some former version of the catalyst drivers.

I have an desktop computer with an HD4650, there i have only very few lags when i play RO. On my notebook with HD3200 RegnumOnline it's not very good playable because of lags.
Solution would be to downgrade to catalyst 8.11, but i wont do that because i acctually mostly play RO on my desktop computer.

Catalyst users can check the catalyst control center and deactivate unnecessary 3D-options e.g. Catalyst A.I etc to get a few more fps

Running in safe mode now thanks! Works great on my laptop. I also went into the options and let it autodetect my settings. Better graphics and better game play with no lagging problems! Thanks

Disabling composite will have practically no effect unless a compositing manager is running. Honest.

I got similar problem... After playing some hours,i got 10-15 framedrops (usually i play with 20-25 FPS) after some hours i play with 5-10 FPS. My sys is Linux 2.6.26-gentoo-r4 i686 AMD Athlon(tm) XP 2000+ AuthenticAMD GNU/Linux with NVIDIA FX 5200 and nvidia-drivers 173.14.12. I get again 25 FPS when I restart PC. Force safe mode doesn't help.I got composite enabled.

The game has alot of memory leaks, which means that the FPS will continue to fall until you restart the game again.
