edit: Trainz 12
Hi everyone. I really need some help. I purchased two copies of this so my Dad and I could work together on layouts and running trains. We were very excited. Performance is fine on my extremely powerful system, but on my Dad's, with moederate-low settings the performance is abysmal.
Their specs:
* Intel Dual Core CPU OC'ed to 3.1 GHz
* 4 Gig of RAM (3 Gig usable)
* Fresh install of Windows 7 (32-bit)
* Nvidia GeForce 295 with latest WHQL authorized qualified drivers
* Two SATA hard drives with tons of space.
* Practically no extra programs running in background (everything has been removed except Canon printer) to make it as lean as possible.
* Fully updated system, mobo drivers, Ethernet drivers, Windows Updates, etc.
------------------------------
So I guess a few questions to start:
* Should we be using D3D or OpenGl drivers on this configuration? I've tried both, and both run poorly.
* Anyone have better luck with the latest NVidia beta drivers?
* Any hacks or tweaks (ini settings etc) that can improve performance without degrading video quality too much?
* Any settings in the NVidia control panel that the game favors?
* Any specific settings that geenral kills performance (ex. some games in the past have been bogged by shadows)
Anything anyone can suggest wiould be extremely appreciated. Thanks!
