Ive applied what this guy says here : [url]http://www.numlock.ch/news/archives/000280.html[/url]

Ive also noticed a considerable boost in preformance. I must say that since sp2 my PC was not as good as before the patch. I immediately saw a new easeness in windows. Do not uninstall sp2 but do try this simple modification and see if it will change anything in SWG. Ill report after trying again the first mission in JTL.

this *seems* to have worked for me. I tried to fly earlier, got very discouraged becuase of the bees buzzing about. So I logged out and check this thread and found this suggestion. I made the changes and when I logged back in the problem seems to be gone. If it does come back I'll let you know.

Wel, well, well! I may have found the culprit. The fix from the link I mentioned above resolved the drunken bees problem. Here's the complete info so that you can try it yourself :

XP SP2's Data Execution Prevention and Performance Hits

Did you notice a severe performance decrease after having installed Windows XP SP2? You're not alone. Unfortunately, I lack the time for an in-depth performance comparison of XP with and without SP2. So I just ran the demo benchmark of 3DMark2001, once with SP2's new Data Execution Prevention (DEP) enabled, once disabled (I rebooted my box before running each test).

3DMark2001 results on my box (higher values are better; the absolute values don't matter here unless you're interested in the absolute 3DMark2001 performance of a Toshiba Portégé M200 with 768 MB of RAM):

XP SP2 with DEP disabled (AlwaysOff): 4601
XP SP2 with DEP enabled (OptOutOptIn, i.e. the default setting for SP2): 3299

Oh my! I did expect a performance decrease, but not such a big one! And it's even a 3D benchmark ("normal" application benchmarks might even show worse results for DEP)! So, according to these measurements (don't quote these measured results please; they're statistically not significant as I haven't measured a series of test-runs, only one run per test), enabling DEP (enabled by default after installing XP SP2) results in almost 30% lower 3DMark2001 performance! It's your choice whether the improved security of your box is worth this huge performance hit. For a server it might be (it's still alarming though), but for my M200 TabletPC, it definitely isn't. If you like to disable it too, here's how to do it:

1. disable write-protection of c:\boot.ini (see the properties dialog)
2. in c:\boot.ini, replace "/NoExecute=OptIn" by "/NoExecute=AlwaysOff" using a text editor (e.g. notepad)

I think its motherboard or Nforce related, judging from the Dxdiags, we all seem to have the same types of motherboards.


I myself got the problem and the motherboard too. But I just have the problem that I myself am lagging a lot myself, like getting pullback and rubberbanding every 30 seconds or so. Makes the game totally unplayable.

This is getting pathetic, I've paid for their expansion, yet I can't play it.

I even reformatted and I still got it.

Yes.

had the warping problem too.

reinstalled SWG+JTL. (waste of time)

disabled BITS; problem gone.
