Hey
Ive been using blender for just under a year now and i was using on a comp at home, which ran blender just fine.But When i got my own comp though, blender would slow down alot as i used it for longer. After 2 minutes it would be noticable and by 10 minutes the program would be unusable due to the amount of lag. Im just woundering if there is any reporting this happening to other ppl. Are there any fixes for this problem/patches, is it a memory leak.? help Please
Have you seen this thread? http://blenderartists.org/forum/showthread.php?t=86995
Maybe you’ll find something useful there.
Apart from that you posted in the wrong forum you apparently have an ati card.
So do i. Install the omega drivers that did remedy the problem for me.
Okay thanks, i am going to sound like a huge noob but where do i dl the omega drivers.
http://www.google.co.uk/search?q=omega%20drivers&hl=en&meta=
gives this
In case thats a bit difficult to navigate

These are probably the ones you want.
i got the blender lagging issue resolved actually quiet simply by dl a .dll graphics file that i just put in the blender file and it fixed the problem right a way, my only question is that with this new graphics file in there, will it also change my graphics for my games and other sutff?
no, as stated in other posts about this problem. The .dll file stands higher in hierachy (for blender) then the normal way of working cuzz it’s in the blender folder and so deactivates the hardware opengl engine. Games won’t be affected unless you start pasting that .dll in your game folders.
