Hi,
This is a problem that has been happening since the Monday after Thanksgiving last year. I had asked on TaleWorlds for help, and got very little of it. And, even the stuff that I was told to do didn't work. So, here I am, absolutely fucking pissed, that I can't play my Mount and Blade games without extreme fps lag. I come to this forum and community to vouch for help to see if you all can help me fix my Mount and Blade games. Here is the the rundown:
Since the Monday after Thanksgiving of last year, I have been receiving absolutely huge fps drops and my Mount and Blade games struggle to get an fps higher than 40. First thing's first, yes... I am running Dx7. It was the first thing I did when this happened. Prior to this "random" incident, which is prior to the week of thanksgiving, I was able to run all Mount and Blade games on High Graphics with 120fps or more, and it was a stable rate. The only time it would drop if there was a very heavy concentration of players around me, or if there was mass explosions. But, even then, it would only drop to 100fps, very, very, very playable, and hardly noticeable fps drop. So, I'm incredibly unsure of what happened over that week, I hadn't used my computer even in the slightest, since I was not home for the whole week. I have done, literally, everything I can think of, and was told to do from the TaleWorlds forum.
Here's a list of everything I have done, but to no avail:
1. Switch the game to Dx7, didn't work...
2. Lower all settings to the lowest possible with Dx7, didn't work...
3. Set the fps allocation of Mount and Blade games to only 60fps, same as my monitor refresh rate, didn't work...
4. When running a Mount and Blade game, I set the MnB Task to highest priority, doesn't work, and makes the lag even worse...
5. I have tried fiddling with all settings and memory allocation, didn't work...
6. Checked to see if all video driver updates were installed, they weren't, updated, still nothing...
7. Checked sound driver updates, video driver updates, etc., didn't work...
8. I even changed the settings in my NVidia control panel, didn't work...
I come to you all for help. My nerves have run out, and I can't even fucking play this game anymore without raging because of this lag. Its very rare that I can get higher than 40fps. The only time I get the full 60fps is if the Mount and Blade games are on very small maps, and are barely populated. I can't think of anything else I've done, and I know the list is bigger. Please, friends... I come to you in my hour of need. I'm a Marin de la Garde. I have to be able to kick ass, not get my ass kicked by nooby pubbers.
Thank you, kindly...
