[Chronic Diarrhea]

a few days ago, my game was slowing down a LOT, even on low textures. I was getting about 15 FPS on the crossroads, even indoors. Naturally, this ticked me off. So I defragged my hard drive, configured some crap in msconfig, and restarted. My game went back to normal. Then later that same day, it was really slow. I restarted, and it was all good again. Rudedog suggested that it might be because people are hacking into the game, it is screwing up the FPS for lots of people. If you defrag and it still sucks, then I don't know what to tell you, because the same thing happened to me last week.
