WZ Slowing down

[Firechkn34]

I run them once or twice a week. So i doubt that's the problem.

Try using "Game Booster". It'll close down unnecessary running processes. It also has a file/program defragmenter. You can get it from Major Geeks. Don't get it from the author's website there's a warning about it.

Well, it's back now. Even running it in 1024x768 and windowed, Warzone is becoming so slow it is almost impossible to play. What do i do?

Your graphic card is better than mine and I have no problem. Get the most recent drivers directly from NVIDIA. If warzone still slow try 640 x 480 windowed like Buginator suggested. Reduce the size of your desktop so game does not look small. If game is still slow report back with CPU usage amount, how many AI your playing against and the name of map and your NVIDIA global settings (or program settings if you set those directly). Also do what Per said before replying.

Bit excessive. Defragging is really the kind of thing you should do twice a year at most.

I don't think so. Defragmentation raises relatively quick, and slows down your computer a lot, so you should do it every month or two. Or buy an SSD But that really is too often... But it is better then my Norton, it tries to defragment every day...

Defragmentation?

Fragmented disk will slow down the load time. It does not slow down a program once loaded into memory. He has 2 gig of memory. Unless he has many things loaded into memory then perhaps memory is swapping to disk which can slow things down noticeably.

I run them once or twice a week, so that shouldn't be a problem. But i ran one anyways and it did squat in terms of fixing the problem.

Defragmenting your disk is not resolving the problem and if it seems like its helping its only a coincidence. When Warzone slows down for you take the advise that was given and reply with what you did try. Otherwise your unlikely to get any more suggestions that will help you resolve the problem.

I have the same problem as well, but it happens when a game goes like over an hour (and i've only had two of those to date) At first, the mouse movement becomes really choppy, then everything slows down badly. Haven't played much to see if it is still happening though.
I have a Dell laptop, 1GHz Single Core / 1GB RAM / Onboard Intel 915GM Gfx with Win7, and it's tuned up nicely, idling at only 450MB RAM used, and just a handful of background apps.

Oh, and since everyone is commenting on this, I will as well. Defragmentation is only necessary depending on your usage. If you rarely add allot of files, or delete or move them around, then you rarely need to run Defrag.

If I had a mouse problem I would first look for updated drivers. If that don't help try turning off verticle sync in Warzone and see if that helps mouse problem without video tearing. As far as Win7 it is set to defrag automaticlly by default. I would check processes when game is slow to make sure something is not running in background, also look at cpu usage for Warzone and cpu idle amount.
