FEAR problems still!

I made a thread a few months back about this and have since re-installed a fresh, up to date copy of windows xp and left the game un-updated but the problem is still there!

When i first installed FEAR i could play it on fairly high settings at 12x10 (or 12x7?) res or slightly lower at 16x12 res. Then for some reason i went to back to the game after shutting down one night and then began to try playing it again when it then decided it wouldn't go above 16fps at ANY TIME, ANY SETTINGS.

Having a fresh windows and non-updated game i thought I'd try again but alas, still not seeing above 15FPS on any settings and the game update didn't help last time so probably wont now.

Any suggestions before i make a fear a lovely coaster ? ?

ok, having played this for a while now i get real bad drops in FPS when walking round corners or just randomly sometimes, would the updating fix this you think ?

You MUST set textures to Medium (or lower) when using 1gig RAM, otherwise peak commit charge will soar over 1gig.

I'll bear that in mind

And with what Furnace was saying about BF2, it is horrendous with 1gig, it takes soooo long so load and lags so much at the start but again i dunno if i can be bothered to upgrade anytime soon but 2 gig does seem like a smart thing to do, i just don't like parting with my money
