Fail Lagging is Fail/Fixed!

[Peeta]

So about 20 minutes in I get to play with 5 fps because we all know I am a failure and it is obviously my fault. Anyway help would be appreciated because this worked totally fine on XP.

O/S=Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit
Gigabyte GA-M57SLI-S4
Ethernet to Router
Started with Windows 7 ofc.
So I have disabled my page file.... I have shut down background programs(HP ****), I have not shut down my anti vir yet because I am a paranoid person.

EDIT: It looks like Alt-Tabbing could be the source. It appears to only lag after an alt-tab. That pretty much points to a memory issue IIRC. Rite?

Make sure you are not running in compatibility mode.

im not...

[Mad-Mike]

memory may be it

[Peeta]

Thats what I thought, but now I'm playing and it runs fine. I think its because I also had to undo the compatibility on the BF2.exe

Right, going to give that a go, had similar problems... it was a memory leak it caused, no idea why, or how.

How does NOT running it in compatibility mode make it work? :S

Any nerds care to explain?

I (and quite a few other win7 users) get this problem, it appears to be a memory leak as stated. About 40~ mins of playtime and my framerate drops to unplayable levels, only way is to restart the game and rejoin. Very annoying.

Win7 framerate problem

turning off compatibility worked for me too But now i get a BSOD every 3 maps due to 'page fault non paged area' something like that
