With the release of dual-core processors, such as the AMD Athlon X2 or the Intel Core Duo, some titles that were designed for single-core processors are having issues. These issues can manifest as the following:
- Choppy and/or stuttering performance, sometimes manifesting as random pausing, during gameplay
- Gameplay performing at hyper speeds making it impossible to play.
These issues are being caused due to the timestamp counter not always being read correctly (more specifically, different timestamp counters in the system may contain different values) by the game. As time goes on these issues will disappear however here are some solutions should you run into these issues:

I. AMD Dual-Core driver
If you have an AMD dual-core processor installed please be sure to download the latest drivers from AMD's website at http://www.amd.com/us-en/Processors/Tec ... 18,00.html.
Please note that Microsoft Windows XP Service Pack 2 will be required before you will be able to install these drivers. If you do not have Service Pack 2 installed you will need to go to Microsoft's Windows Update site or you may download it here: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/deta ... layLang=en
After installing these drivers, please test the game to see if this has resolved the issue.

II. Dual-Core Power Management support under Windows XP
>From Microsoft's website at http://support.microsoft.com/?id=896256
'Computers that are equipped with multiple processors that support processor power management features, such as Advanced Configuration and Power Interface (ACPI) processor performance states, require Microsoft Windows XP Service Pack 2 (SP2). Without these updates, computers that are equipped with these power management-capable, mobile, dual-core processors may experience decreased performance or unexpected behavior.
If you are still experiencing problems, you will need to obtain a hotfix from Microsoft.'
Users will need to currently call Microsoft to receive the fix. A list of contact numbers may be found here:
http://support.microsoft.com/contactus/?ws=support
Note: The hotfix is only needed for the 32-bit OS, the issue is not occurring on the 64-bit OS.

III. Processor/Thread Affinity
If none of the above steps have helped, or if you have an Intel Pentium D or an Intel Core Duo processor, you can try setting what is called the thread affinity for your game. To do this please do the following:
a. Start your game.
b. Once you have reached the main menu press ALT+TAB (press and hold the ALT key while pressing the TAB key) which should then minimize your game to a window on your taskbar.
c. Press CTRL+ALT+DEL to bring up your Windows Task Manager.
d. Click the tab 'Processes' and locate the executable file for your game. Typically this will be named after the game you are running.
e. Select the application by moving your mouse pointer and pressing your right-mouse button.
f. This should then bring up a menu and select 'Set Affinity'. From this window make sure that only CPU 0 is selected and no others and click 'OK'.
g. Once this is completed press ALT+TAB to return to your game. Should your game crash during this process your settings will still be saved and you should be able to re-launch the game without an issue.

Где мой любимый 911(997)GT3 ???

Господа! Кто ездит на руле logitech G25 у вас тормоз/сцепление нормально работают?

И чувствуется ли разница между машинами с металлокерамическим сцеплением, и обычным многодисковым?

Как сразу включит HARDCORE MODE ?
