haha, how low did your framerate dip for that?

[LupinTheThird]

i would gess one frame every 4 - 5 seconds im on a laptop 3.64 ghz , 1gb ram geforce fx 5600 go

its the worst the game has ever laged for me aslo its weird when you stack so many objects ontop of eachother they seem to stick together like the weight of the object is pushing down and locking in place i could stand/jump on the piles of barrens in the 2 hills (one around the car the other were the barrel shooter shoots) and they wouldent budge
even the gravity gun coulldent pull the ones from the base out altho my
my magnum got rid of em

Record it as a demo and convert it to AVI. Dosen't matter how long it takes as once its converted it will play smooth...
