fofix runs slow on win7

Postby engeldumorte » Sun Nov 22, 2009 12:55 am

my frets on fire ran excellent in my windows xp, but now I installed Windows 7 on my computer, now I try to run the fofix but now is very slow. though I have all updated drivers windows 7 (directx too) but still the problem.

I have a good processor, as well as an excellent graphics card and RAM and not think that is the problem, not the drivers. I hope you can help me soon because I have sought a solution for almost a month, but can not find any

what i need to do after i install pyhton 2.4?

and yes, i read the forum rules but the other question have no answer
if you can made an a instructions list.... hehe (not)

There's somewhere in options where you can choose an options setting like "My computer sucks!" Do that.

I'd suggest trying to see if the graphics card manufacturer's website has updated drivers for windows 7.
90% of the windows 7 slowdowns I've heard about are fixed with new drivers (and not ones updated through windows itself).

i saw a previous post that suggested that, but it didn't help much, it helped it from being VERY choppy, its still quite a bit choppy though.

Try going into the settings and messing around there (turn off anti-aliasing). Otherwise try running the game at a lower resolution. Also, try turning "Use Psycho" in the advanced settings to off (some people have had less lag with that off).

Try to drop one of your cores out of FoFiX. When you have fofix on, go to Task control -> Processes, select "choose priority*" and drop one of CPU:s, so game runs with only one Core

*dunno what exactly there reads, I'm using Vista with Finnish language =)
