  • Crysis 2 PC Issues help?

    I have a Asus G1vx laptop, and I installed crysis 2 on it when it came out, played through it a few times, then didn't play it much. Recently I reinstalled windows 7 on my laptop, and with that crysis. I tried to play it again and it worked fine at first. But I quickly noticed a lag. It isn't a FPS lag, it is more of a game play issue. All the in-game mechanics will get supper slow for a second then speed up for a second then get slow again. This makes the game very hard to play, it doesn't matter if I am at a spot with a ton of NPCs or just starting a level. I have tried many of the basic things stuff like turn off vsync and change settings, but I am wondering if it is an issue with my video card driver or crysis updates(I updated drivers when I installed windows)

    Specs:

    Intel Core 2 duo@ 2.0ghz

    Nvidia geforce GTX 260m with 1gb gddr3

    4gb DDR2 ram

    this used to run crysis just fine

  • Is there a better way here? YouTube and Hughes Net!?

    I live in rule Michigan, where internet options like DSL, Cable or even 3G are not an option. So we are stuck paying a relativity high price for satellite internet, and to make matters worse a family of 4 has to share 250mb a day. I am a computer nerd, going to college for programming, and Hughes net makes it almost impossible to learn from home. One of my preferred ways of learning is with videos. Youtube Is a very good place for learning how to program, network or even for simple entertainment (no way!), but I always have to watch videos at 240p, and after 15 videos of a 45 part series there goes most of your data. I am wondering if there is an ISP like Hughes net but without the download cap, or some web site or program that compresses youtube videos even more (server side) or something that would make this more usable. I know there is a time overnight where you can download all you want, so I wonder if there is a downloader program that can be scheduled also? Thinks in advanced
