Here's my computer's specs:
CPU: Athlon XP 1.84Ghz
RAM: 512MB DDR
AGP: AGP 8x 128MB GeForce4 MX
Motherboard: n-Force2 Chipset, On-board Realtek Sound, etc.
HDD: 200GB
Now, when I installed the game and ran, it took awhile to load, but I figured since it was my first time on, it had to cache things, and create character and stuff, but after I was in the game, it seemed to be running a bit choppy. I reduced the resolution to 800x600 and it ran much better, but I still had some lag in spots, namely with sound. Whenever I'd get near the boundary of one area, I'd hear some crackling for a moment or two while it loaded the next, and the hwole screen would jerk a little (while I was walking, charcter would pause for a few seconds and such).
I've seen this kind of lag on games that my computer barely meets minimum requirements, I just find it odd, that this kind of lag is present on a game that my computer easily exceeds the *recommended* requirements.
I'm just asking if this is normal, or if there's anything I can do to help the problem? The only other application I had open in the background was the IE window I used to launch the game in the first place.
One more issue I'd like to bring up here, the Target window is unreadable, I get garbled symbols coming up in it, making it hard to play the game if I can't tell what I have targeted...any known issues that are causing this?
