Ok so long story short im having SERIOUS lag issues. OEven on enemy territory it lags like hell. My pc specs:

2.4Ghz Processor

512mb RAM

Windows XP Proffesional

Soundblaster Audigy of some sort

The graphics card doesn't come up on the adapters thing..

 

I was wondering what i can do to get rid of this cursed lag. I can't play CSS, HL2DM after forking out almost 30 quid. I can't play W:ET even though it says im more than powerful enough.

Posted

I mean.. Like it moves like a robot with un-oiled hinges. Could be framerate i think.. i got on a server with Ping 1

(i thought pc specs would help im new to online gaming)

Start / Run / cmd

 

then type in

 

ping.google.co.uk

and paste in your results here, then we can tell if it's lag or not.

 

Also, download CPU-z so we can find out about your graphics card. Do you have any graphic heavy offline games?

Cpu-z isn't very detailed for graphics card stuff, is it?

 

Download and install this Retro:

http://www.softpedia.com/get/System/System-Info/Everest-Home-Edition.shtml

 

Open it and then in the menus go:

Report>Report Wizard

Choose to make a 'System Summary Only' report in 'plain Text'. It'll produce a report on your computer. Select it all and paste it in here. It'll be biggish but we'll find out all the stuff we need to know. (No personal info though.)

 

Edit: bad link replaced

Ok here you go odwin:

I took only the stuff off the top because i exeeded the character limiut, i didn't think you'd want all the numbers at he bottom, tell me if you do

Sorted then, i'll get a new graphics card. cheers

any reccomendations?

EDIT: just checked enemy territory. That says 32mb, so how come i still get issues with that?

Posted

It looks as if you're graphics card is built into your motherboard, they aren't as good as stand-alone ones. Try putting all the settings down to low and see what happens.

 

YOu're Celeron processor isn't helping either. They aren't all that good.

Posted

Recommend me any pcs that cost less than 100 quid and i can actually use it for what i want ¬_¬

I think ram is full, processor is attached to motherboard. Don't think there's anything i can replace is this thing

Posted

just checked the msi website, your motherboard supports 2Gb of RAM maximum, so you can get more when you need it. And it doesn't have an integrated graphics chip. And there's an AGP slot to which you can connect a decent graphics card. And you can upgrade to P4 processor if you want to.

Oh cheers bogbas.

Can anyone explain why enemy territory is still laggy though?

 

Try setting the resolution of the game lower(try 800*600) and set detail levels to low in the options->system menu. Also check that it's using 16bit textures, and that dynamic lighting is off. And enable low detail sky.

 

Edit: here's some settings:

Resolution: 800*600

Color depth: 16bit

Fullscreen:yes

Geometric detail: Low

Texture detail: Low

Filtering: Bilinear

Detail textures: off

depth buffer: default

 

If it still is slow, then you really need to get a better graphics card.

It will take me at least a year to save for a new pc with no spending at all.

I'll try those settings

EDIT: YES SETTINGS WORKED! ET now plays like a wet dream. thanks guys
