When I turn on my computer or restart it, I get about 27-30 FPS constant, which is okay. But after some time playing, it progressively goes down to 6-8. Anyone know why? Do I have to clear my RAM or something?

Thanks.

it's either overheating, or perhaps too many applications loading in the background that slowly chokes your ram.

try blowing out the dust from your pc, and run a few virus and spyware scans.

Could be that your system processes start up slowly, meaning less clogging of the system at the start and it gradually builds up. How soon after starting up do you open up GW?

Well, I scanned it just recently and it's clean of both things. The fan is clean and computer is in a cold dry room. Thanks for the help though.

Any other suggestions?

Would -heapsize work?

EDIT: I open GW as soon as everything that loads and starts up automatically when Windows starts is done.

you get the same problems with other games?

Just as an idea, what sort of system specs are you running?

ZombieInfection - silly question, but what is that from? what program / tool are you using to get those results/information?

Edit - NVM. I found it

A Quadro 120M, eh?

Nothing wrong with that laptop at all - damn, back to the start ><

Yeah, the game runs fine at 12 FPS and all, but I'd like to know why it goes down from 30 :S

- Have you tried closing everything thats running before you start the game? (ie FW's, AV's, unneeded sound garbage, etc)
- Have you tried uninstalling and re-installing the drivers for your video card?
- Tried lowering the graphics & sound settings in the game?
