I guess you expected this but any recomendations for adjusting set-up? I really wouldnt know where to start removing/replacing them or knowing the implications of doing so.CBJ wrote:Given that the very first post in this forum asks everyone to post a DXDiag report, your consideration was somewhat misplaced.
OK, no sign of ffdshow in your codec list. You do however have more Nero codecs than you can shake a stick at, and as mentioned in the Common Problems sticky thread, these can cause problems too.
How to disable ffdshow

I think this has drifted off-topic rather for this thread. Start by simply uninstalling Nero Showtime as recommended in the Common Problems thread, then make a new thread if you need further advice or suggestions. Of course you've not yet actually stated what your actual problem is or why you are trying to do this, so that would be a good starting point for that thread.
Funnily enough I'm not experiencing any major problems: Just trying to optimise my set-up, Will start a continuence thread thanks.

This topic should be posted in every section of X3TC I see people saying that its cuz all the ships and rocks in the game that it lags like as if its doing major computing for all the ships which I thought to cuz it seemed to get laggier as the game went on when I entered systems with like 30 or 40 ships. One guys has even been making a mod to the game to try and fix what he thinks is massive lag from all the ships. I was bummed to cuz my spec are as follows.
3.2 Ghz cpu
4 Gigs of ram
260 GTX overclocked to almost 280 speeds
Windows vista 64 bit with every non essential processes shutdown
Then I saw this lovely little thread and what do you know no lag at all runs like a dream. Kill those ffdshow codec's and all will be good in the X3TC world.

Is it bad that I haddnt noticed the problem (evga 295 ftw!) I shall disable ffdshow tonight and see if it makes much of a difference!
Edit: Just remembered i'm occationally running multimonitor as well..
Edit2: Ignore me I'm an idiot, last time I re-rolled windows7 on this comp I didnt install ffdshow (doh!).

Sorry for the partial necroing of this thread, but I wanted to say thanks to the OP for posting this. It has helped me fix my X3:R and X3:TC games which were having CTD issues. Thanks mate!

Where would one look on the dxdiag to see whether ffdshow is installed or not?
(It's not necroing if the thread is stickied right?)

Before I saw this post I experienced a CTD and when I opened task mgr I saw a message about ffdshow. I had selected "always use ffdshow with this program" when I saw the prompt.
After reading this post I selected the "don't use ffdshow" under media player tool-options-dvd advanced tab and listed x3tc.exe.
I hope the first instruction won't cancel the second.
And I didn't see x3tc.exe listed in the "use ffdshow only in" list.
