Anybody finding Warhammer laggy and choppy like me?

The only issue i seem to be getting is that randomly while playing the graphics will hang and then jump into life 2 seconds later. Happens about once every 15 mins, very strange.
 
Remember it's a very new game (is it out yet?) And reports are showing the game is running quite well. I bought Age of Conan on release and geez that was bad
 
Yes it's out to the retail population today.

Quad 6600
4GB RAM
Vista 64
GF 8800GTS 640MB
1280x1024

Everything on high and no stuttering, no lag. Game just works fine. WoW looks horrid in comparrison to most newer MMO's (LOTRO / WAR / etc.) so no wonder you can run it on a laptop with intergrated graphics it doesn't mean supreme programming or anything it just means its a four year old engine and things have moved on (like hardware in laptops for example).

WAR and newer MMO's are going to be more demanding due to trying to add atmosphere to the game so all the lovely effects that you see takes up your hardware resources.

If you're having performance problems knock it down to as low as possible remove AA AF etc and put the resolution down and see how it plays. Personally I can't say it's a badly programmed game as it runs fine here.

Right i just did another benchmark on 1024 x 768 on low graphics...

Frames: 1607 - Time: 39605ms - Avg: 40.576 - Min: 18 - Max: 77

Average is again 40, same as when i have it on high quality on 1280x1024.

Isn't that just weird?
 
Lol @ all the advice about the 9600GT. People really should get a clue before giving out incorrect info. It's actually quite a nice card.

Don't be silly most people will be playing on xp.

My advice, relax, get some sleep, and have a go tomorrow:). Sometimes wierd problems just go away, other times with a refreshed mind you notice previously unseen and unthought of solutions.

and two more people on these forums have the same problem with me, some with better systems. The game is not right, it's not something that will go overnight sadly

Is it? Think you will find it's very nearly as good as an 8800 GT. Also, my bro has an 8800 GT and he is getting the same....I think it's the game personally, just poorly made.

as sig here and game runs smooth as ,i take it you got the lastest drivers anys hope you get it sorted ,as the game is good pvp is a laugh
 
WoW does indeed run very well on all sorts of hardware but then Blizzard have had 4 years to get the engine to current states, Mythic have only just released Warhammer today and as far as im concerned it runs very well considering.

I run at 1920x1200 windowed mode and large fights are smooth as butter on my 4870.

Sounds like people are in denial over the game and do not like to admit it has a big performance issue. As much as i hate WoW it is the smoothest MMO i have ever played, Blizzard are the best at making quality products.

And with W0W they've had 4 years and literally billions of dollars to spend getting it right - unlike ANY just released on a shoestring wing and a prayer new MMO :)

Hope this new game survives. I've been reading that Tabula Rasa is in serious trouble and may disappear :(

Because it's really ruining it for me :( Is it my pc? I just find the game choppy and laggy, and when i see people in thye distance they are not smooth. Am i the only one?

That relates to a graphics setting. It was something I encountered in EQ2 to increase performance by reducing the amount of animation that happens at a distance.
 
Yes i get stutterig/lag, it will go away then it would come back a bit, its not that noticeable/annoying for me, everything is on max

Sig for specs

It wont go away overnight, but it will go away, its just the nature of things. Remember when WoW first came out? How there was consistently loot lag? How people kept falling through/getting knocked off the zeppelins when changing continent?

These things were fixed, theres no reason to think any performance issues in WAR wont get fixed too.
