lalalakers Posted April 22, 2009 Share Posted April 22, 2009 I just installed the game, and am trying it out. I notice just flipping through the annoyingly complicated menus, and mainly trying to practice batting that the gae lags like crazy. I almost have to swing when the pitcher releases the ball, and still it tells me I've got a very late swing most of the time. I have a 2 GHZ Core 2 Duo, with 2 GB of memory and a GeForce 7400. I thought this would be adequate, but apparently not. Any thoughts on how I can improve the lag? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoop27 Posted April 22, 2009 Share Posted April 22, 2009 first thing is turn down all your graphics settings and screen resolution and see if that helps. next update your video card drivers, and try it again. I'm running it with a geforce 7600 512mb and I have to play at 1024x768 and turn down some settings and played with it a couple times till I got it right.

lalalakers Posted April 23, 2009 Author Share Posted April 23, 2009 Graphic settings.. as in within the game? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yankee4Life Posted April 23, 2009 Share Posted April 23, 2009 Graphic settings.. as in within the game? Yes. You can adjust your graphic setting while you are in a game and have it set just for that game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lalalakers Posted April 23, 2009 Author Share Posted April 23, 2009 Hmm.. simply running the game on my laptop screen instead of my 22" seems to eliminate most of the lag. Hitting, however, still feels like I'm setting before the pitch is thrown and swinging way earlier than I'm used to. Is that how the hitting is supposed to work, needing to distinguish a ball and a strike real early in a pitcher's motion, more realistic than the mvp series? Or is it still laggiing... I'm not sure.

Hoop27 Posted April 23, 2009 Share Posted April 23, 2009 another good way to determine if it is lag is to download FRAPS and you can set it to show your FPS in the corner of the screen it usually will be around 60 if its running ok. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lalalakers Posted April 23, 2009 Author Share Posted April 23, 2009 Thanks for all the help guys. I've got it running ok, bearable in practice (FPS around 40s). When I try to run a game, it'll be ok for a few minutes then the FPS will dive to single digits. I've updated the drivers and turned all the detail settings to low. Outside of lowering the resolution further, is there any other remedy? If not, I guess it's back to MVP for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When it drops to the low FPS settings, what is going on in the game? And also, since it wasn't asked, what resolution are you trying to play this game at?

lalalakers Posted April 23, 2009 Author Share Posted April 23, 2009 Nothing in particular is happening. I manage to get half an inning to an inning played before the FPS drops. Maybe it's a CPU problem. I'm running at 800x600 now =( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm running at 800x600 now =( make sure you turn off all background programs. all go through your startup and turn off anything you dont need running when you boot up the cpu. If that doesn't work then you will probably need to replace the video card. The 7400 was a low end card. if you look on new egg you can spend 50 bucks or so and get a significant upgrade.
