Guys
Been playing Race 07 and have all its variants, play the game quite a lot and have noticed an issue while racing recently.
It happens mainly online, but also happened once offline whil I was playing as a test.
It is a sort of very random stutter or breakup as if the CPU seizes monentarily for a micro second, it is like lag if you like but utterly random.
The only thing that I have done recently is move house to a Virgin hub( from a bloody dongle so cant be that), this is faster so lag really shouldnt be an issue, this is why I think it might be something else.
It is like a performance thing, sort of break up when screen is loaded. Now this machine has performed fine for many years so that makes no sense, drievrs are up to date etc. And never has the issue before so why now?
Have tried all the usual blow the fans out, etc. Did that when I moved. Is the graphics card or CPU just worn out? Machine is Vista 32, 1.6ghz dual, run the game fine for years.
The sounds breaks up aswell, and occasionally I get a really bad break up as if something is trying to be sent or a MSN screen or reboot screen is coming up. Obviously I am an experienced gamer so know to turn all this off to avoid this, hence my query?
Ruining my racing right now, any ideas?
