Check Norton for how often you allow it to run.
For all you know the person that installed your system found it interesting to set a systemscan at an hourly interval or somesuch.

I removed it last night. Fps and breaking issues are gone. However the problem above remains =(
It seems to start when alot of things are happening at once. or when I enter a different part of the map(like from my base to the middle)

How much memory do you have? It seems like Windows is swapping pretty fiercely.

Its installed in program files x86

6gb
According to task manager not much hardware is being used.

Edit: Issue or majority of issue appears to be resolved after adjusting resolution to match my computers resolution.
Haven't tested a large battle, but even if it does happen thank God the game is playable.

Thanks Guys

Thats pretty much standard advice; run programs on the native resolution of your screen.
Even lowering the resolution can cost you in performance .. natives rule .. errrr ... native rules :D

Normally lowering the resolution is better, though can cause other issues.

are there any BZ2 options on your shortcut? try adding /tps 30 to it.

also, try setting the cpu core affinity masks to 15 in your localprefs file.

Sounds to me like you still have some other process running in the background. Many software producers seem think their product is so important that you won't mind sacrificing cpu cycles to it on an almost permanent basis.

@ Red
Ill try it =D
Edit: how do I set processor affinity? Like what code do I put inside file?

@Mrtwosheds
The only major bloatware on my computer was Norton and I got rid of it. Other then that no other software really takes anything if anything

Thanks =D

Just search for the localprefs file in the BZ2 folder, than check the folder that file resides in. Than look at those files and search for the term afinity. You'll find it.
