supposedly i should play without any annoying hic ups nor lag, on auto detect video but... finally i tried with lower resolutions like 800x600 but it didn't improved at all
i can play call of duty 2 with almost everithing up with no problems

what do you mean "hic up?" does it lag, are you seeing visial defects, sound problems?

[gto23]

it is lag, sorry for not being straight

Go to audio settings and try to reduce the maxium amount of sounds to 10-15.

The game is very sound-dependant. Unless you have a proper soundcard you will instanly run to problems if you play with more sounds enabled than your CPU can handle (onboard sound systems use the CPU to produce the audio).

Oh yeah, and posting your Sam2.log file here might help too. It's in the folder where you installed the game. Just Copy/Paste it here.

thanks a lot! the problem was the audio i turned it to 15 and now everithing works fine!
