I updated my graphics drivers one time and had a similar problem.

 

A solution for me was found on these forums.

 

I opened the console and typed /r_primitives 2 .  You can enter the /r_primitives alone to find out what your current setting is.

 

 

I suspect that you are the "Bob" from Finland that had the same problem on NQ#1 during GameDay last week :) 

 

I finally thought of this possible solution days later and kicked myself for not thinking of it during our chat! :( 

 

How is your ToughBook doing?

Can you tell if its FPS lag, connection (ping) inconsistency or anything else? Maybe a picture of your lag-o-meter if there is anything on there.

 

Also it is always useful to run a WinMTR. Just enter the server IP in the top left and let it run for a few hundred packages.

try pmove_fixed 1 or 0

 

dont forget that after you change an r_ setting you need to vid_restart

 

r_primitives 2 fixes most lag problems for new installs

no impact on performance

 

What graphics card are you using? What is your OS? Are you playing on ET 2.60b or Legacy version?

Post some screenshots of your lagometer and WinMTR output if you think it's connection issue.

P move does have impact on performance actually. For some reason jaymod doesnt like p_move fixed 1 and gives huge lags.

That was directed to OP as well, I just quoted you to say about the pmove_fixed cvar:) of course, everyone have different reasons for their lags and if disabling pmove_fixed actually helps I would be surprised:) btw it's forced to 0 on Hardcore server by default, not sure about the other servers.

@Wikingg is this your computer, the one that you mentioned on NQ#3 ?   toughbook cf-h2 mk2

 

It looks like Intel does have  updated Graphics drivers for your HD 4000 graphics and will work with your "Core™ i5-3427U Processor", released "9/18/18" ".  https://downloadcenter.intel.com/download/26813/Intel-Graphics-Driver-for-Windows-15-33-?product=81499

 

I don't know if you had checked all of this before.  You did mention wanting to update your chipset drivers, or did you suspect them as the source of the problem?

 

BTW, do you have a mouse, keyboard and monitor attached to that 'tablet'?  

 

Bob had mentioned that others had played BF3 on that computer with no problems.

Not sure if many know this, but there is a hidden Ultimate Performance profile in windows, which I saw a bit of an upgrade when I set it up.
