Re: TNM/GOTY Running too fast
I think that is a problem with Dual Core computers, I think there is a fix for it.
Re: TNM/GOTY Running too fast
Yes Ive had that happen before but the set affinity cpu 0 trick doesn't seem to make any difference with deus ex.
Re: TNM/GOTY Running too fast
Well I can offer no help, I have a Dual Core comp (about the only good thing about it) and I myself have never encountered that problem.
Re: TNM/GOTY Running too fast
A funny problem we have.
Paul, I know you said no phone messages, but South Street's going up in smoke. We'll have to meet at the subway station.
Re: TNM/GOTY Running too fast
Does your laptop CPU use speedstepping or something like it?
If so, disable that.
If so, disable that.

Re: TNM/GOTY Running too fast
No they'res nothing in the BIOS related to speedstep. Its running just like an emulator with the FPS limiter turned off which makes it unplayable .
Ive had no problems with any other games like bioshock half life etc
I thought it might be something with my GOTY disk but ive tried it on a desktop and it runs flawlessly
This is realy weird

Re: TNM/GOTY Running too fast
I don't know if this will help... but I've got a Dual Core... I do have the latest driver for it installed. I'm using XP... had some trouble at first with Deus Ex running... but as long as I run it in compatibility mode I'm fine... and since Deus Ex was running fine.. I never had any trouble with TNM...
Konner.. just thought I'd add... nice Bioshock pic... I liked that game... it freaked me out at the very first though... the baddies were nuts! LOL

Re: TNM/GOTY Running too fast
It's a bug in DX itself, not related to how many cores a CPU has.
I used to encounter it at random, playing DX on my old 2002 vintage Asus L3000D notebook. The CPU in that notebook was a single core AMD AthlonXP 2000+ mobile.
I don't know if that AMD CPU had speedstepping capability.

Re: TNM/GOTY Running too fast
Yeah its looking that way, Installing XP didn't make any difference must be something to do with something in this particular laptop oh well i was hoping to enjoy TNM on the laptop but a desktop will have to suffice .
Thanks for the help
