Negative Delta Time

[Synerge]

Got a new computer:

Windows x64 edition
AMD Athlon 64 X2 4400+ Dual Core
Nvidia Geforce 7800 GTX 256MB PCI-express

Here is the error:

OS: Windows XP 5.2 (Build: 3790)
CPU: AuthenticAMD Unknown processor @ 2214 MHz with 2047MB RAM
Video: NVIDIA GeForce 7800 GTX (7777)

Negative delta time!

History: UGameEngine::Tick <- UpdateWorld <- MainLoop


Everytime I log out of game, restart the game, or sometimes during play I get this critical error. After it happens I am unable to reload L2 until I reboot the computer. Any ideas?

Download this utility:

Basically its a command line utility you use to start the game only using one cpu core. I got some help from a friend and created a batch file for L2 and use that to play the game.

I downloaded it, because I too am getting the same message. It still is not working for me. My specs are as follows:

Windows XP Media Center Edition
AMD Athlon 64 X2 Dual
Core Processor 3800+
994 MHz, 960 MB of RAM

I am not exactly sure what I'm supposed to do with the RunFirst program, though. It opens and that's about it. Can anyone help? I cannot run L2 C3 at all. I am completely new to this game and I did a google search to help me find a topic on this problem, amazingly there is someone who had basically the same problem. :)

By the way, here is my error message:

OS: Windows XP 5.1 (Build: 2600)
CPU: AuthenticAMD Unknown processor @ -5261 MHz with 958MB RAM
Video: ATI RADEON XPRESS 200 Series (6553)

This problem i think happend on Dual Core CPU here,and Unreal2004 have same problem too...

i have to updata my motherboard BIOS (K8NXP-SLI) ver F9
and go to AMD website download new A64 x2 CPU Drivers..
but i getting the same message

I would like to know about this batch file please.

Use latest drivers from AMD's site and add -cpuspeed=xxxx to the end of your shortcut to l2.exe, where xxxx is your process speed.

So on my A64X2 3800+, it would be "C:\Program Files\Lineage II\system\l2.exe" -cpuspeed=2000

i am getting the same error..i, too, have a dual core proc.

[Synerge]

Wish I could offer further assistance here but I ended up sending my dual core processor back after some other errors in Windows occurred. Currently running an Athlon64 4000+ and experiencing no problems at all.

Edit: The unreal engine is not compatible with dual core it seems. Best of luck to you guys. ;(

My above method works, tried it on a few other machines too.

If it doesnt, the WinXP SP2 Dual Core hotfix might help. Refer to:
