thats great thanks :)

hmm, just wondering if i would be able to get a good enough processor that would fit on my current motherboard. again not something im particularly in a hurry for but if anyone is able to reccomend one that would work with the rest of what i already have and tell me if it would be an upgrade worth getting as a temporary measure i would appreciate it.

tnx

not something i will be planning nytime soon i think but am i right in thinking that to upgrade just the processor would mean a new motherboard ? is it possible to upgrade just the processor? a problem for the future anyway :) thanks all

updated to newest divers and another marked improvement! yay :) still lag at keep doors but other than that its looking pretty good. definately bareable at any rate. thanks to you guys for all your help;)

well... new graphics card is in, still getting lag but is has definately eased up and no more invisible guys killing me yet. graphics are better also so all in all im happy, dissapointed that im still getting lag at all but i guess the processor of something isnt upto par :( at any rate the game is atleast playable now :)

Glad you got it working. will let you know the result after trying the new graphics card :) thanks again.

thanks for that :) definately wont be fitting myself as i have no idea about these things but your right £10 isnt bad.

just spoke to a different pc guy who says the 560 should go a way to fixing my problem (dependant on how the processor handles it) being a big step up from 260, and would obviously be more useful in the future if i were to rebuild entirely. im fairly sold on it so the question now is to let the pc guy order it or order myself and have him fit it ? :) quite excited about the possibility of seeing an end to this now :)

just spoke to the pc guy , he says he can order the 560 for £170 and will fit free, or if i can get it cheaper elsewhere he will fit it for me for £10. Does £170 sound about right or is he adding big numbers onto the actual cost ? have looked about briefly online and £170 doesnt seem to far off the mark. is the difference between the 550 and 560 massive? i only ask because im a little concerned about spending £170 and still having the same problem in game, that would be a bummer ( although i would have a shiny new graphics card :P)

thanks, yes im in the uk. i will make sure to double check with the pc shop but think this is the route i will go down so youve been really helpful , im playing on blacktide. hope your girlfriends game work for her soon :)

hey thanks :) the power supply isnt actually old, it was replaced 6 months ago it was either 700 or 750,w but definately over 600. think i will go for trying that 560 and see if it works, if not atleast it wasnt wasted money i guess. would you happen to have a link to it so that i know for sure which i am getting, would hate to get one that isnt compatible or something by accident, although i will possibly order from my local pc shop, so im sure they would be able to check for me. anyway a link would be great if you happen to have one, thanks so much for your help, i really hope it fixes the problem... did you manage to get your girlfriends game working in the end btw ?

i dont mind paying out if it will fix the problem, im a little concerned about paying out and it still not working, do you think that one of the graphics cards you mentioned would be a solution ? and would it be compatable with everything else thats in there ? if the processor then would be holding me back is that replaceable or does it mean a whole new motherboard etc? :( also if i got the 560 card you are talking about would that be usable in a new pc if the time came in the future to upgrade altogether or would it be obselete outside of this pc ? sorry for all the questions, thnx for helping btw :) oh turned the pc off for 10 mins and redone the speccy thing....

i really dont know anything about pc hardware, so anything is worth looking into i guess , thanks :) was already running the game on lowest settings, have now lowered the resolution which has helped a little but now the game looks awful, lol
