Anyone noticing gameplay gets choppy as you play more and more?

Its very weird but after I play a bunch of games all of a sudden I get a slight stutter, also some flashing.... I know it cant be a heat problem because my card doesnt go above 50 degrees.....

Ok I think I figured it out... I had to turn off the antilaising and antiotrophic filtering.....

yeah I know, I run all my games like Doom III and Half Life II at 16x, and 6x without a problem.. But I thought NHL2006 and 2005 didnt support antilaising and antiotrophic filtering...

hey man my game is doing that too where do you go to turn those antiailiasing etc. off

jkilla74 · 10-25-2005, 07:52 PM

I got news for you, it didnt solve it! Its still happening..... So dont bother turning it off... Whats even worse is, I did a reformat and fresh install.. So I know its not anything Im doing! This doesnt happen with anyother game.... So it has to be some type of bug or something.. Also if it where a heat issue I would be seeing this in much higher graphically intense games such as doom III.....

The only quick fix is to restart the computer than it goes away for maybe the first 4 game you play.. Then it comes back!

Sounds like bad memory management to me... my game seems to do this a bit too, and also very choppy on powerplay.

Hey, A question to all of you guys.. I own the new XMen Legends II and Ultimate Spiderman game as well.. Both Activision games.... Im startting to think that after I play either one of these games, is when my NHL06 goes bad.... Does anyone have these games as well????

In other words, If I dont play Spiderman or Xmen I am fine going with NHL06...

Ok I have an update.... I had to set Only one of my DUAL Processors to be used for the game... Its all fixed now... This is what was causing me problems....
