prince of persia warrior within HELP!

Anksy · 24 Mar 2008 at 07:48

well i had a thread about sands of times and its glitchyness so i got warrior within, now its still a bit jumpy, not as bad as sands as time but i guess that because of the 2 year release difference.

now prince of persia is the ONLY games out of the 100+ ive tried on the 8800gt

well warrior within has the specification check before it starts and look.....

the cpu frequency ? could that be the problem ? why has it failed anyway ? E6750 it is

Could be that that checker software doesn't recognise multi-core CPUs. I played all three PoP games on my Core 2 Duo / nVidia 8600M GT without nary a hitch. Even the Starforce protection played nicely after a small update.

Anyroad, try running the game on one core only. Launch it and then ALT-TAB out to find the process in Task Manager. Right-click and choose Set Affinity and then leave only one CPU box checked.

is this because im only using 1 core ? that its slow and being a bit jerkish when fighting ? and i suppose i cant help that unless i overclock my cores ?

Doubt it. Just one core by itself is way ahead of the minimum specs for this game. Have you got any other background tasks running? All your drivers up-to-date? Chipset, graphics, sound, etc.

I am actually playing through this atm. Running it on an AMD 64 X2 4400+ with absolutely no problems.

Is it possible to set a quad core to run on two cores instead of just the one?

yerp all fine, i must be one of the handful of people that just have the glitch i suppose

Not that it's going to help but never had a problem on a Quad Core with Vista x64 installed.

In fact I played the game through to the end and thoroughly enjoyed it.
