BVE won't run smoothly!

[Railguy220]

I decided to start using BVE again and noticed that when I'm in game at times it becomes jerky and slow and was wondering if I can fix it. I also find it strange that railworks runs no problem compared to BVE. HELP!

Computer specs, which BVE version?

You're going to have to be specific if you want us to help....

 

[Railguy220]

It's BVE 4 and my specs are:

Operating system: Windows XP Home Edition (5.1,Build 2600)

Language: English

System manufacturer: HP Pavillion 061

BIOS: Phoenix-AwardBIOS v6.00PG

Processor: Intel(R) Celeron(R) CPU 2.60GHz

Memory:512MB RAM

Page file: 536MB used, 672 MB available

DirectX Version: DirectX 9.0c (4.09.0000.0904)

Hope this is some help.

Have you tried openBVE?

 

[Railguy220]

I did try openBVE but i couldn't get it to work and gave up on it.

Follow the instructions on the openbve pages properly and you'll be fine.

Far easier to help with oBVE, not many people still use BVE4.

What's written in the message ?

512Mb isn't really enough RAM for BVE i'd say, since it appears you have built in graphics which aren't ideal anyway. Quite impressed railworks runs on your system!

 

[Railguy220]

I must have a magic computer! I can't tell you what the error says as I'm on my iPod. But I think the file might not be downloading properly perhaps? And my dad says I'm due a computer upgrade so BVE will probably work better then. Thanks for your help.

Well at least for the moment you have Railworks, which looks really good !
