Just wondering if anyone else has seen the game slow down after playing for a while.

I notice that there is a lot of disk activity when this is happening. The symptom is that the display will freeze for a while and slowly begin displaying frames until it becomes marginally playable. Then after a bit it will do the same thing.

If anyone has seen this, have you found a solution?

TIA!

My system specs are Win 7 x64 core i5 4GB RAM, GTX 460

Is your computer kicking on a virus scan or some other disk intensive scheduled task in teh middle of you playing?

Have you defragmented the hard drive?

I actually solved the problem. It was not a virus scan or defrag kicking in.

I had loaded the NMC texture pack and that was the cause of the disk thrashing. Once I disabled it, everything is playing smoothly.

It seems odd to me that a texture pack would cause extreme disk thrashing even when NOT switching areas. All I was doing was looking around.

BTW, I figured it out because for some reason it was slow immediately after starting the game the other day and that got me to thinking.

you are lucky to be able to play for 30 minutes
