dale5605 Posted August 28, 2005 Share Posted August 28, 2005 Do not use nvidia firewall. It is absolute crap. It's not even a hardware firewall like they claim, just a really crappy software firewall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ender341 Posted August 28, 2005 Share Posted August 28, 2005 it may be driver support, and incompatibilities with WC3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gensis Posted August 29, 2005 Author Share Posted August 29, 2005 can u be more specific as to which driver i should look into? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyanide Posted August 29, 2005 Share Posted August 29, 2005 are you using webroot spysweeper ?cuz i was having the same prob when i was using that... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ender341 Posted August 29, 2005 Share Posted August 29, 2005 (edited) Is it only during WC3, or does it happen during other games? Does it happen more often on higher graphic setting? (if thats the case check video drivers) Only on Online/Network, or both online and single player? (if only multiplayer then check network drivers) Are you drivers provided by default in windows or are they up to date from the manufacturer? When doesn't it happen? And is your windows up to date?AMD's list of X64 drivers is Here Edited August 29, 2005 by ender341 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ender341 Posted August 31, 2005 Share Posted August 31, 2005 When playing music is any of it streaming from online?Also, while playing WC3, try CTRL+ALT+DEL and look to see what is taking all the resources. Also, are you playing on custom maps, i found in some RTS games they can have issues with non-official maps not being optimized, or being to much for the engine to handle.

gensis Posted August 31, 2005 Author Share Posted August 31, 2005 (edited) got it before when i stream music and also from normal music on my pci tried so see what is taking up, but only see warcraft taking like 100-150kcould it be some of the custom maps cant make it on 64bit??

ender341 Posted September 1, 2005 Share Posted September 1, 2005 (edited) I don't think it would be custom maps on 64, but have you tried playing the custom maps you play in 32-bit windows (and does this happen on the official maps to)?

gensis Posted September 4, 2005 Author Share Posted September 4, 2005 more or less able to pin point the problem nowits probably something to do with video output or somethingcause i got the super lags quite a few times when playing video from my winamp and media player, doesnt matter if its streamed or notbut odd part is that i get it when trying to stream music sometimes from my media or winampwat gives?!?!
