[GraveDigger]

here are my comp specs. i have recently started having more lagg.

 

i have changed nothing on my system

 

net connection is great

MYSPECS.txt

[croZz]

why would you upload a .txt file?

 

why wouldnt you copy/past on the forum?

presumbly it was just the output of some pc program, but anyway

F257 probably has it right. It's more than likely something running in the background sucking up CPU cycles...which will appear to you as lag.

 

Since your running a Barton core on a Sempron CPU, ET is likely taking about 90% of your cpu cycles while it's running. It gives you little room to run anything else in the background like an anti-virus or xfire.

 

One questions I do have for you though, is whether your running wired or wireless? Also do you have anything else thats connecting to the same router?

wireless

 

on rare occasion there is 1 other comp in the house online

 

i think i get antivirus updates every 15 to 30 minutes. i am sure that is hurting me some but i have really only started have sever lag this last 2 weeks.

 

its weird i know.

 

until i can get a better comp i am gonna have to ride this one out.

Grave no matter what you will do, you will lag.

 

RAM - DDR RAM. No PC comes with DDR RAM now a days.

Chipset - 2003/4 chipset. 6 years old chipset.

CPU: Appx 6 years old CPU.

Hard drive - Assuming it's IDE will give you slow map loading time and slow start up and lags.

 

Sorry man but you really need new PC.

Everyone needs a new comp since you got your i7. lol Maybe you should share cycle time on one of your cores, lol.

 

Also I know that he's running IDE unless he bought a SATA PCI card. That

 

Dares right thought, an upgrade wouldn't hurt at this point, but since computers still aren't free and the economy sucks lets see what we can do with what your have to work with.

 

1. Your running wireless. If you have the router close enough to the comp to run a cable, I'd highly recommend testing that out and see if the problem goes away. If it doesn't then try turning the wifi off on the router and only running wired for a bit.

 

2. If your running your AV updates every 15-30 minutes..don't. Shut it off while your gaming in fact if you feel comfortable doing that. If you tend to DL alot of stuff then leave it on and select to manually update it.

 

3. What other processes are running in the background. Xfire? Vent? If you have a bunch of little icons in your system tray (lower right hand side on most XP/Vista/7 setups) then your likely running a bunch of shit that's eating up CPU cycles. I was being nice when I said ET is likely eating up 90% of your CPU. It's probably more like 100%. If you don't believe me then open your task manager, startup ET and play for a few minutes then minimize ET while in game and take a look. Your page file and CPU will be much higher.

 

4. Long shot, but if you can check your temps while playing then I'd do so. I'd recommend Hardware Monitor. Someone posted a similar program around here awhile back that seemed just as good and you didn't have to install it. Wish I could remember the name.

 

5. Find out how much free space you have left on your hard drive. If it's just crammed full of crap then you may simply just be out of space, or you need to defrag and your page file is in a badly fragmented section which is causing higher latencys on the seek time..thus slowing down your computer.

 

6. If you didn't understand what I wrote on 5, just crack open a beer..sit down and PM me with any ?'s on wtf I'm talking about. Or google/yahoo that ish.

 

7. Go buy a new PC..and x-fer your ET Key over.

I lag once every 2 seconds.

 

I also get the server "Heartbeat"
