Hi guys,
I have a problem playing Painkiller. its not widescreen issue but i suppose somebody should have answer for that also.
I play it on i8600 1.5-M, 512 DDR, 128 Ati 9600 Radeon, 15.4+, 1024/768, all video options on/high, fps 20-30...
The game is running perfectly, and thats the problem. It is so smooth that my hitman and monsters move incredibly fast and game become like forwarded movie on x2 speed. I cant aim well, can't jump accurately... its kinda frustrating... and very hard to play.
Does some1 have a solution for that weird mod?
I haven't touched anything special as game options.
Please some help
MIeni

Uinstall the game, and before you reinstall it, make sure that you've set the powersaving options of the laptop to 'always on' (or turn off speedstep)

It's a problem with Intel's Speedstep, well, not really a problem so much as a feature, actually. When non-CPU intensive tasks are occurring, the CPU is underclocked (the P-M has two speeds: it's maximum, in your case 1.5GHz, and a 'speedstepped' speed: 600MHz for powersaving.)

When you install the game, it's not CPU intensive. So it thinks the CPU is such-and-such a speed (600MHz). When it comes to play, the CPU increases it's speed because it is intensive (to 1500MHz), and everything goes at warpspeed because of it. :)
