It's your CPU bottlenecking... there is nothing you can do I'm afraid.

You can either buy a new CPU which would mean new Mobo and RAM also. Or just get a new PC.

I explained here why a P4 @ 2.80GHz+ won't run CSS anymore and the requirements need bumping up.

And your case illustrates my point, perfectly.

i don't understand it. shouldn't the p4 run better than a multicore computer since it doesn't support multicores?

didn't think you could get bottlenecked with one processor

awwwww man thats the answer a broke ♥♥♥ student dont wanna hear

oh well.... but even tho, my friend has a crappy computer n he plays without lag thats why im like wtf? anyways thats cool but if someone knows if there is a way to solve that itd be great :P anyways thanks

Technically your computer should be able to run it, but since its release, the system specs have gone up a little =[ Have you tried the low fps config?

akay · 02-22-2009, 05:22 PM

ya caseys config and everything. the graphics are gettin crappy tho i dont want to abuse but anyways i tried many things i get about 20 to 40 fps

Mark316 · 02-23-2009, 04:40 AM

You should do some research on your motherboard.. see if it supports a P4 @ around 3.4 or 3.6GHz which you can buy REAL CHEAP.

Or better yet, go into your BIOS and see if you can overclock slightly.

I'm currently playing on a P4 with 2GB RAM and Nvidia 7300. Getting about 60-70 FPS. And don't lag as much if I got other applications closed. I play 800x600 used DX level 81 and the -heapsize (half of 2GB) launch command and the Casey config.

I had around 90-ish steady fps in d2 servers with
amd 3500+ ~2.2GHz
1 Gig ram
Radeon x550
and 640*480 -caseys config -dxlevel 80
But, that was years ago...

skulldrudgery · 02-23-2009, 01:16 PM

I really don't understand how people are getting 60-70 fps on P4s! On my old P4 (and 8600 GT, 2 GB ram) I COULD NOT get over 30 fps no matter how many tweaks I tried.

I got an awesome quad core now, and I get 80-130 fps average. So maybe thats your solution.

akay · 02-23-2009, 03:19 PM

damn alright well ill see when i get a job lol anyways thanks guys

Really? I still have my old 3.0ghz P4 with 2GB of RAM and an Radeon HD 4670. I can run this game 80+ FPS. Not only this game, but I can easily run Crysis at high with 50+ FPS.

ROFL.. I had a P4 @ 3.0GHz with a X1600XT and there was no way in hell I could get over 40FPS in a 20 man servers unless I faced the sky and stayed in a closed off corner.

I'm calling BS.
