Skipping jumping video

[Unrealnut]

Hello All
I'm sorry if this is the wrong forum group but i am in need of help.
I have searched the forums and did not find a solution.
I have just upgraded my system to a Asus M2N-SLI M\Board, AMD Am2 Dual core processor
3800 and a Geforce 7600 gs ultra2 pci-e video card 1 gig of ddr2 ram. Only using one video
card not SLI.
The problem i have is the video is jumping about like a jelly bean and it is also fast like in
fast forward. On my old system all was fine, i have tried adjusting the settings but no luck.
Old Unreal is the only game i play. It has the 226 patch etc and as i say it was ok before.
Please can someone help.
Thank you.

Are you using open gl? It sounds like you need to limit your framerate in your unreal.ini.

Default is:
Framerate=0  (which disables the limit)

Try Framerate=250 ( or lower) If that doesnt work check your various profiles for your video card. Most video cards don't have a profile for unreal 1, but I've used the quake 3 profile on my card and unreal ran good.

Hello
I have found a solution to the problem i had. If anyone else upgrades to a AMD Dual Core
Processor you need to go here:
http://www.amd.com/us-en/Processors/TechnicalResources/0,,30_182_871_9706,00.html
And download the file called, AMD Dual-Core Optimizer. i installed it and it WORKED .
Thank you for looking and i hope this info is good for others.

To those experiencing the dreaded FastForward/jerkyness, when running Unreal/Deus Ex/basically any Unreal Engine-powered game on a Hyperthreading/DualCore-processor system, try installing Microsoft's Hotfix for DualCore processors:

Here's the MS Knowledge Base-entry for this hotfix:

This worked for me 8-)

I had the same problem when i got my new graphics card...i fixed it by enabling VSync on my graphics card

You need to go into the properties of your graphics card and find a little check box that sais Enable VSync...and then check it

I just registered to ask about this, but before installing the hotfix I tried running Unreal with affinity set to a single core, and now it runs fast and smooth. This has been driving me nuts for hours, I should've guessed the duo core was the problem.

In case anyone wants to ask how it's done, just CTRL-ALT-DEL while you're running, and on the Processes tab, find Unreal.exe down the list of Image Names. Right-click->'Set Affinity' and uncheck one of the CPU's listed.

Now there's yet another solution to the same problem. Unfortunately you have to do this every time you run the game.
