Jolo Posted November 27, 2003 Share Posted November 27, 2003 Hi to all First, say thank you for appreciate help on earlier posts. I've read on many forums that there's a problem with Need For Speed Underground that a lot of people have. It's about the famous "lag" (Gameplay Freeze) on the first laps on a track. The freeze duration is 1 or 2 secs., but the sounds continues. I've heard people with GF4 Ti 4200, Radeon 9000 PRO, Radeon 9600 PRO, Radeon 8500, GF4 MX 440, and me, my Radeon 9200SE always got the problem. People with 64 MB or 128 MB have the problem. It's very ugly, sometimes the "lag" doesn't let play well. ?Anybody with this problem? ?EA Games knows it? Greetings, Jolo. P.D.: Sorry my english.

robsleezy Posted November 27, 2003 Share Posted November 27, 2003 my ATI Radeon 9200 Does just fine with both Games, Underground and Hot Pursuit 2, both of which have a resolution of 1280x1024 @ 32bit @ 75hz, very very nice, if you update to THE ATI CATALYST DRIVERS YOU SHOULDNT HAVE A PROBLEM, DONT USE MODIFIED DRIVERS IT DOESNT DO WELL WITH THAT!

eXclusive Posted November 27, 2003 Share Posted November 27, 2003 Yay i installed the latest omega drivers and it fixed the lag :D http://omegacorner.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
qoa Posted November 27, 2003 Share Posted November 27, 2003 I get stutters in certain spots. I assumed I just needed to defragment the drive the game was installed on. The same thing happens in GTA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jolo Posted November 28, 2003 Author Share Posted November 28, 2003 Defrag doesn't fix the problem. EA Games doesn't appear to explain and patch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bizkit Posted November 28, 2003 Share Posted November 28, 2003 (edited) I just installed the Omega drivers too, and holy crap! It made the game run alot better. Like it was turbo-charged! EDIT: It was all because of eXclusive. He is the man. Thank you! :) Edited November 28, 2003 by Menace Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grid001 Posted December 8, 2003 Share Posted December 8, 2003 I'm curious, how much more of a performance increase do you guys get with the Omega drivers in NFS:U? I'm running a 9600XT at 1280x, 32bit, 75hz, (using Catalyst 3.9) and I'm also getting a slight lag in some sections of the 1st course in the game. So the Omega drivers should fix this prob eh?
