OK, What is the deal?

I recently installed GR (DS AND IT) on my new pc. I am a veteran player and have played through the campaigns/mods countless times. Here is my problem and I have never seen anything like it: I noticed on mission 3, the one where you have to prevent NATO casualities, the tanks never come down the road. They just sit there at the edge of the map. Then on mission 8, the battlefield one where you have to protect the friendly tank, it also never goes down the road. The friendly soldiers are all standing around at the edge of the map. The friendly tank is there,off the map but never moves. Further, the T-80 that gets napalmed shortly after the start of the mission also sits still and never rolls to the napalm trigger zone. ######?

These are all bone stock missions. No mods of any kind are being run. I of course have not altered the missions in any way. Now on my old pc, these missions play out fine. I checked the scripting on the new pc and the scripting is correct.

With that being said, let me add one more note. My new pc has had booting issues. It will hang at the windows home edition screen or sometimes at the blue welcome sceen. When it loads windows successfully, it runs fine. The only thing I can think of is that its a bad install of GR. But other than the issue mentioned above, GR runs fine. I will of course try a reinstall, but wanted to see if anyone had any thoughts on this. My specs on the new pc for whats its worth:

FX 53 / 939 pin-no oc

asus a8v / wireless edition

american megatrends bios-rev 1006

liteon cd-rw

liteon dvd

western digital SATA 120 gig/7200 rpm/8 mb cache

sound blaster audigy 2 zs-latest driver

ati x 800 xt p.e.-cat 4.8-no oc

1 gig mushkin ram-pc 3200-blue series-settings on auto

enermax 600 watt noisetaker

windows home edition-service pack 1

dx 9.0b

As a side note, I am about ready to throw the SATA drive out the window .Honestly, trying to install the OS on one of these is a pain in the butt. Give me a good ole IDE drive anytime. The "performance" gain is not worth the hassle.

Thanks!!!!

well, I reinstalled GR last night to no avail. The tanks in misison 3 still do not come down the road. I found out that they are moving, but very slowly. So I jacked up their speed from 1.6 meters/sec to like 20 meters/sec. That made a little improvement, but not enough. This is just so strange. Why would just this one thing be affected, but nothing else? The real kicker is that I have like 12 gig of mods and the thought of having to adjust each and every moving vehicle's speed is a drag to say the least.

thanks el nino foxhound... I would have never found that thread....it sure does sound like the same problem.....refresh rate?...man, I would have never considered that.....

Yeah I know it isnt really some logical thing, or at least not to me.

Some others had same kind of problem with the vehicles.

Let me know if it worked for future help for others

just to complete this thread. I put v sync back to "app preference" in the ati control panel and it fixed it. v sync was set to "off".

Thanks again.
