I would suggest to start of by making it be the only thing running, often one application they is thinking alot or having problems can slow down thee entire computer.

If that doesn't work try lowering all of your settings in video optons and see If that helps.

Post more if it does or doesn't and I can give some more suggestions.

good luck, i hope you can get it working. hardcore is talking about the settings in the swbf game options. it has an auto detect your graphics at the bottom. i can talk on a mic thru xfire and would like to be there when you get it fixed.

One of the biggest performance hits on any game, is shadows, and second to that is volumetrics. Volumetrics are used for things such as smoke. If your still getting lag after making sure only one program is running, then auto-detect, and turn your shadows down. If that doesn't work, report back.

Do you have carbonite backup software or something like that?

Oops, wrong button.  Anyways, if you do, turn it off.  It usually makes the game go slow.

thanx for the advice ill try that, but this also happened to me previously except worse with all of my graphics set to low, i tried everything couldnt get lag to stop until i joined a multiplayer game. then everything went back to normal
