ty for info.
i did remove the tank lamps it was an issue.
also loaded the minimuim trying find other xvm issues, with the 9.12.2 i tried to load just the targeting mod , the garage, dead tank color "white" with no other mods and it lagged but not quit as bad.
are there any changes that should be made in the graphics file at launch??
my computer is a Dell inspiron 17 5000 series, with a Geforce840 video card, 64 bit operating system and 8.00 GB ram
I find it strange though that the lag goes away if I uninstall xvm I feel its a setting I need to change or a file I need to remove.
oo I did try the SD yesterday and found it didn't help at all in some ways it was actually worse, so went back to HD to solve issue
ps thanks for the help and info so far and defragmenting now
