    :) Hello everyone

    I have tried the demo from MOHAirborne in my new ACER 5920. The only problem is that the game keeps stopping now and then. These sudden stops last no longer than 0.4 seconds (aprox :D ) but give a annoying feeling to all the game.

    I have the 163.44 driver, although ive tried with stock ones as well. I have also defragged and removed all the apps running at the back.

    Whis is this happening? im playing at high graphics quality with 1024x768resolution!

    It also happened with GRAW2 in this machine!

    Provided it's not a heat issue, I'd recommend seeing if there are updated audio drivers for the laptop. The system may be hiccuping on sound events due to the drivers.

    That, or it may be due to RAM. How much does your system have?

    I have this exact same problem with Counter-Strike Source.... I definite have a great computer to play it on, yet it locks up ever minute....Even weirder is that only on CS:S does it lock-up, no other game does that.???

    thanks for the audio driver thing. Definately everything is way much better :D

    thanks

    however still is too noticeable


    its like 1 frame missing every 20.

    it happens a lot in GRAW2.
