JakeTheCat Posted March 3, 2007 Share Posted March 3, 2007 Really, this happens all the time. But it's most evident while I'm running somewhere, or someone else is running past me. Every once in a while, RS (or my IE window, or JAVA, or my computer, or whatever) gets into the mode where the game pauses momentarily about every 3 seconds. The entire screen freezes for about half a second and then 'catches up' and continues. This happens very regularly (the 3 second/half a second cycle). It's not what I'd call a lag, which to me, are more random, and freeze up the game for seconds at a time. A long time ago (year or so) I read a thread on this. The author said my computer was to fast/powerful for the game, and I needed to slow it down. I tried opening other programs, to increase the load on my computer. Results were unreliable, but occasionally, it would fix the problem. I'd get a smooth running RS. (Occasionally, even a TIP.IT banner ad would do the trick. ... Never been thankful for a banner ad before.) Well... this problem finally went away on its own. That was quite some time ago. Now it's back. I haven't installed, or uninstalled anything. I did reboot though. (I was getting real lags for a while.) Has anyone experienced (and hopefully fixed) this? I'm at a loss. I should add... (edited) I have a Dell Dimension, with an Intel and lots of RAM and disk space. I also have a DSL connection. Thanks in advance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
