Discovered: Possible Cure for Video Stalls and Freezing in TOD!
|
You might say I finally got fed-up with the constant performance problems since the recent undisclosed additions to the patch's that caused the video stalls and freezing...
I have been checking, testing, disabling, uninstalling and overclocking my system in an attempt to recover playablility in AC...
Well, last night I noticed similar video problems with playing a new game I installed a couple days ago...I attempted to play it online and there it was... low frame rate, video freezing and general annoying lag...
My first pick was Microsoft anitvirus beta 1...
Rather than disable it or shut it down like I usually would... I deactivated the 3 of 3 system monitors... I cleared the log's... I shutdown the autoupdate... I started the game... PRESTO CHANGEO!!! Smooth as silk video... no lag!!
Played it for about an hour... no overheating or additional problems...
I logged in game with decal and ran around in the marketplace for about 20 minutes with none of the problems I usually experience that had me running into walls etc...
I dual logged with decal on... hit a dungy for 15 minutes... very slight if noticeable at all low frame rate...
Shut down...
Went and made the 3 of 3 in Spyware beta 1 active again... started the new game again... all performance issues back again...
So.. I figure anyone who is running the MS spyware beta 1 and has been experiencing these issues when playing AC... Try deactivating it yourself and post your results, Please!
Disabling is not the same as deactivating... be sure you click on each monitor deactivation, one at a time!

Could you be more specific about what you disabled? What are the three monitors?

I have been running the MS Antispyware "Beta" since it was released along with AC, and I have ALL the Security Agents enabled.
No problems as you describe.

More specific...
There are 3 security agents in real time protection...
Click on them individually and then click to deactivate...
It works for me when I am playing AC and like I originally posted... a new game I installed.
Disabling is not the same as deactivation.
I also run Macafee antivirus...
But I have not disabled it...
I hope that is clear enough now...

Interesting Responses...
I have been receiving several PM's about this issue and an equal amount of appreciation after positive results were achieved with a few more suggestions...
If you read the beginning of the thread... Please post: If you have or had a video problem ... If you have a smooth running system with no problems... Congratulations!
Then we have a 'problem child' like Chazcon...
A known, baiter, troll and thread troublemaker...
He has had more threads removed from this Forum because of his bad attitude towards Decal Dev's before it was released... His accusing the Decal Dev's of 'taking their time and playing games' Topic's were classic idiocy!! 
I consider the source when it comes to pathetic name calling...

You are assuming that the solution for you is a solution for others. Many of us were poiting out that this software is not causing us any issues in AC.

I'm really beginning to see why the Decal Dev's lose their cool after reading some of painfully obvious limited intelligence that permeates this Forum...
So let's make this clear...
I am not assuming A N Y T H I N G...
That was not the 'point' of this Thread!
As far as people 'poiting'...
I just read my 19th PM pertaining to this Topic, showing appreciation for my and I quote 'Possible Cure for Video Stalls and Freezing in TOD!'
Again, to Everyone that has better gameplay because of this Thread... My Pleasure!
Bottom Line: If you don't have a performance issue playing TOD or D&D or WOW or any other online game... Hey good for you... but why post that you don't?
Is it to show 'other's' you have a problem with comprehension of a Topic??!
(This thread is for those that do have performance issues!)

I am more inclined to believe the problem lies in a conflict between the McAfee or Norton Security Suites and MS AntiSpyware Beta.
Either alone likely won't bog down a system too badly, but both are known resource hogs, Norton more so.
Personally I use a professional grade AV solution with the MS AntiSpyware and have very little issues around performance on my older system.

<< Is it to show 'other's' you have a problem with comprehension of a Topic??! >>
Nope, just making people aware that if they do have video issues and have MS Spyware Beta installed, removing the beta may not actually help them at all. You shold post your entire configuration (hardware and running software) and that would help give people a better idea as to if your fix may work for them.
I guess your copmprehension is off a little too, some of us were posting that this is not a possible problem for video lags and freezing in ToD.

The above statement seems clear enough to me. IF you are running beta 1 and IF you have been experiencing these issues, try his solution.
Chaz and others who are being so negative: If you feel the need to flame/bait someone who has found a solution to his particular problem and is trying to help others, then I feel sorry for both your lack of social skills and your inability to read.

I routinely shutdown Microsofts beta AntiSpyware before playing most games. What I fond interesting was the the OP felt that shutting off the three real time protections improved his framerate more than shutting down the whole program.
