Help with FPS

Post by jozsefkoma »

Something is wrong with my computer right now, because I have a horrible lag in WA Editor. It doesn't happend in player or other game. I don't changed any of my PC components except the graphic card, but It worked fine until now.
Also now I have bitdefender. Can antivirus be the problem?

This is my PC configuratin:
Processor Intel Celeron 3.06 GHz
RAM 1GB
Graphic card Nvidia GeForce 6200

I think that the rest is not important.

Can anybody help me?

is your disc space full...
Go check
Go to your folders click
Computer then see if the bar is red.
If it is you may need a new computer or someone to fix it!

If its not that

I HAVE NO IDEA :shock:

My disk is almost empty, so I don't think that is the proble.
I've just reinstalled Win XP, can it be the cause?

I think you ran a program without noticing and it's making all the lag, close that program, or else download the editor again and put all of your user data in there, and the WOPs, try not replacing the data with your old data file at first, if it still lags, add the data file, if it still lags, there is a problem in your editor somewhere.

Go into task manager, and check for programs that are using a lot of data.

I will try this right now. My editor.exe is FULL of hacks and modifies to edit adventures for WA TWC, so it may be the problem.

I tried to watch what hapens when I run the Editor in Task Manager, and My antivirus is using about 2% of my computer and the rest is used by editor.




I miss my editor... :cry:

Yes, and very probably it is the cause. You may have not formatted your hard drive completely before reinstalling and now there can be trouble.

Look like not only Wa works hard. I tryed to render someting in After Effects and it taks a lot more time to render the video, even I don't used any special effects or layers.

Right now my antivirus is scaning. It will scan ALL files from computer and if there is any virus Bitdefender will delete it.
Later I will try someting else, but I'm not decided what should I do.

Or maybe you put too many custom things in the data folder.

I think that there is not too much custom stuffs, because before reinstaling the operating sistem it worked perfectly.

Defrag your drives after doing antivirus scan (not with avast!, it sucks).
