BIA runs extremely bad once the sound begins. In the game menu alone, where u can select to go to Play game, Audio, Video, etc.. when i place the mouse over any of these, it lags for about a second and then i hear the sound that the game supposedly makes while the cursor is over the text.
Also, in the intro, when u just start the game and see the leaves and trees, it's smooth until the sound appears and all hell just breaks lose.. game lags extremely bad. I know it's the sound causing the lag.. How do i fix this problem??

My specs:
P4 3.0 GHz
ATI Radeon 9250
Memory: 1Gig

You appear to have the exact same problem as I do. I tried fiddling with a few things. It does seem to be linked with the audio device. I discovered this by disabling the audio in the Unreal engine ini file. I found that the lag went away. However, the 3D rendering, at 1280x960, had a slight stutter while I was moving forward. This is with or without patch 1.11

Here is the interesting twist. The demo version works perfectly at 1600x1200 and everything on high. I currently have both the demo version and UK retail version installed.

Unlike others, I could be regarded as very knowlegable, when it comes to computers and programming, possible more than many of the games developers. However, me having such knowledge aint going to get the game to run proper from where I am currently sitting.
