I also noticed when I played that when you turn off your GFX cards anistropic filtering etc the game gets very laggy, this has to be the first game that runs smoother with the others on unlike other games which run smoother when off :P

And no problem

Be sure that your DirectSound® acceleration is set to "Basic
Well i have tried this and it made all the difference . What i find surprising how-ever is that i diddnt need to do this with DOOM3 or HL2. (Id of thought higher end games would of gained a performace increase not Bloodlines). Why is it that Bloodlines needed that doing but other higher end games diddnt ? (bad programing ?). Ive been out and got hold of "Brother's in arms.Road to hill 30" today and im wondering how this will perform. Anyway thanks for the tip for us Nforce™ Audio Users. Game run's stutterlesly now. As for setting my DirectSound® acceleration to basic what difference can i expect in quality ?. I guess i'll re-set it to Full acceleration when im not playing bloodlines. (but its something i'll remember for in the future incase i get any other game's stuttering due to direct sound accleration). I wonder why i only have probs with Bloodline's and nothing else. Thanx again DABhand

No probs, as I said its the only game I know that works better with Anistropic filtering on, usually when you switch off the game performance is boosted alot. It is a strange game indeed :P

Hmmm.... HL1 engine??!

If I can remember correctly the same problems occured with HL-1... and this is the same engine that bloodlines is based upon... so I just think its the lousy code in this game engine that causes the problems...
It laggs equally bad on all the different cpu:s I have played it on.... ( 3 now; all with different HW)
