im having problems with Ultimate Spiderman. why is it slow on my system. i mean i can play NFS most wanted, Doom 3, Age of Empires 3 flawlesly but when i play ultimate spiderman it’s slow…well im already using DX 9.0c and the latest drivers for my video card. i even used the lowest detail in the game hoping that it’ll run better. but nothing seems to change in the performance of the game. i can play all my other games well im only having problems with spiderman. i even defraged my PC and deleted temp files and it’s still the same. why is it like that? Here are the specs of my PC: AMD Athlon 64 3200+ (socket 939) nVIDIA GeForce FX 6600 128MB 512MB RAM DDR 400 80GB hard drive ---

Maybe check to see if your computer is reading all of your memory? I remember one time I upgraded to 1Gb memory and my computer wasn’t even reading one 512 stick… ---

my comp is reading the whole 512MB…i noticed that in certain areas the frame rate is acceptable but most of the areas in the game it’s really slow…it even crashes sometimes… ---

It’s probably the 512 RAM… tho I’m not sure of the actual requirements, that would be the weakest point of your system. They probably did a sloppy job like was said. I know that 512MB isn’t enough to run World of Warcraft, and they claim the minimum to be 256… ---

hhhmmm…yeah maybe it’s because of the programming. in the requirements it says that 256 MB minimum and 512MB recommended…i just can’t imagine coz i was able to play Doom 3 and NFS MW w/o any problems…well i believe it’s really the programming stuff…i’ll remove it for now and just play it again when i have the memory upgrade. im planning to buy another mem module hehehe…tnx for the replies 🙂
