Transcendence lagging epically on vista

[schilcote]

Wolfy,

Is it possible that the reason it's doing this slowdown has anything to do with your Vista computer being dual-core?

I've read that some programs have problems on dual-core machines because they are written to run on a single-core, and you have to adjust some settings in the OS to let it know to run the program exclusively on one core.

Sorry I don't know any specifics, since I have a single-core machine running XP, but it's something you might wish to look into.

Digdug,

Curious, how did you get the information you posted?

Transcendence ran fine on my dual-core Vista machine the last time I tried it.

I believe transcendence is multithreaded, no?

Anyways, my 2 powerful XP computers are multi-core (4 and 2), and my linux comp is dual core (... I still need to get a new PSU for it...)

no problems with them...

All the hardware stats on this netbook are inferior (and by a good margin!) to the stats of the vista laptop... so something is clearly going on!

Someone else said graphics drivers, and that could cause this kind of problem. Besides that, the only other thing I can think of is something software related, like an anti-virus.

Not anti-virus, as they all have the exact same anti-virus software (avg free 9)... The drivers shouldn't be causing it either... Anyhow, once I get around to it, I'll do what george told me to do on the other laptop and post the data up here.
