Have to give up playing Stronghold 2 by Firefly Studio because the game speed sucks. Sometimes my computer hangs and get low virtual memory. Grrrr……
I am already using medium setting, reduce all the finer details and etc.
I still prefer Stronghold Crusader. Had finished all the campaigns and maps except for the last one - Mother of all wars.
Anyone can tell me what cause the problem? What component makes computer games run faster? Tell me, tell me so that I can go out to the shop and buy something to upgrade. *biting nails*
*sigh* Looks like I have to return to blogging and visit blogs again. For a moment, I thought I can also take a hiatus in blogging and concentrate on completing all the levels in Stronghold 2 but no such luck.

i think the problem is at the graphic card, stronghold 2 is a graphic intensive game, in my opinion looks much better than most games on PS2. And try to close down some unnessary program like msn, icq, and especially antivirus program when playing games, it is those that hogged the RAM when you try to play game, if you feel it’s unsafe to close the antivirus, maybe just don’t connect to internet when playing games, there’s not much virus threat if you’re offline and playing game, might as well turn off the antivirus and free the RAM.

You need to cleanup all the nitty-gritty services runs on the background.
shutdown
- antivirus
- any massenger software, including icq,irc,etc
- downloader software,e.g. torrents,etc
- Kill all the residential software such as quicktime, realplayer,etc.
And remember to do a spyware check.

when I read the reviews about stronghold 2, the main complaint was that the game lagged a lot because they did not work out all the bugs with it. So your computer’s graphic card and specs are not all to blame. http://pc.gamespy.com/pc/stronghold-2/609923p1.html

Ee Lynn - I had uninstalled it. Luckily it is the *coughcoughRM15coughcough* one. The guy at the shop did tell me but I thought my computer very advanced. *sigh*
argh - I am back to Stronghold Crusader. Start from the beginning again.
moo_t - My MSN/Yahoo hardly on. Never download anything. So it is the games problem. I wanted to turn down the options, i.e. no background music etc but it won’t work.
