TribeFan4Eva Posted January 29, 2008 Share Posted January 29, 2008 The great thing about this site is that there are so many amazing minds in one area to dissect issues. This brings me to my problem. When playing MVP 1p I have no problems whatsoever. However, when playing IP 2 IP there is some lag, while not substantial, it is irritating. I know IP 2 IP can have lag but I also know there are plenty of ways to avoid it. I am a big "search forum" junkie and I have read these forums up and down and just about everything else on google pertaining to this problem. The thing is so much of it contradicts each other. One post on here will say turn AA and AF down to decrease stuttering and the next will say to turn it up b/c that's what mvp needs. One post will say to turn VSync on to speed up the game and another will say turning VSync off will speed up the game because of something w/ the refresh rates. I've heard turn my hertz to 60, I've heard make it 75. I'm using a Vizio 32' LCD to play my games through a RGB connection. One post will say check the "triple buffering" box on my video card, and another will say not to. I close all processes in task manager before a game and that defn helps reduce the lag a bit. I also put stadium detail on medium and turn all helmet reflections and shadows and things of the such. I also play on the lowest possible resolution which is like 640 x something. I do that because I'm willing to sacrafice graphics for a smooth IP 2 IP game. Yesterday I uninstalled my video card driver, and then installed the latest one. I have a ATI Radeon 9250 PCI 256MB card. The latest update was Catalyst 6.11 and that is what I installed. I play through my router but I've opened the right ports and my internet speed on speedtest on net is generally around 10,000. People have told me thats great for a wireless connection. I don't have the greatest computer or video card, but it shouldnt cause me lag. Here's my specs: Video Card: Radeon 9250 (0x5960) Internal DAC (400MHrtz) 256MB BIOS infomation: 113-A34208-102 Driver Version 8.252.0.0 -------------------- My Computer: Product MPN MPN t2862 Key Features Form Factor Mini Tower Processor Intel Celeron 2.66 GHz Chipset Intel 845GV Installed Memory 256 MB (DDR SDRAM) Operating System Microsoft Windows XP Home Edition Recommended Use Home Use Processor Processor Type Intel Celeron Processor Speed 2.66 GHz Processor Manufacturer Intel Socket Type Socket 478 Installed Qty 1 Motherboard Bus Speed 533 MHz Memory RAM Technology DDR SDRAM Installed RAM 256 MB Max Supported RAM 2 GB Supported RAM Speeds 333 MHz Installed Cache Memory 256 KB Technical Features Integrated Input/Output Ports USB 2.0 x 5 • Serial Port x 1 • RJ45 Lan Port x 1 • PS/2 Mouse x 1 • PS/2 Keyboard x 1 • Parallel Port (ECP/EPP/SPP) x 1 • RJ11 Phone Jack x 1 (Input) Expansion Slots PCI x 3 Hard Drive Hard Drive Capacity 60 GB Hard Drive Interface EIDE Hard Drive Rotation Speed 7,200 RPM Controller Type Ultra ATA CD / DVD Optical Drive Type CD-RW/DVD-ROM (Combo) Optical Drive Read Speed 16x (DVD) • 48x (CD) Optical Drive Write Speed 48x (CD-R) Optical Drive ReWrite Speed 24x (CD-RW) Audio / Video Graphic Processor Intel Extreme Graphic Video Out Ports 15 Pin D-Sub VGA port x 1 Audio Input 1 x Line In Audio Output Type Sound Card • Line out Integrated Audio AC97 Audio Codec Modem Modem Type Fax / Modem Networking Networking Type Integrated 10/100 Network Card Data Link Protocol Ethernet • Fast Ethernet Dimensions Width 7.25 in.

Warranty Warranty 1 Year Miscellaneous Exterior Color Silver OS Certified Microsoft Windows XP Home Edition Release Date September, 2004 UPC 764296109839 Product ID 22876884 ----------------------------- I updated my power supply like a year ago to 300 watts and I updated my RAM to 768MB which is 512 more than it originally came with. I know with my upgrades the computer must be capable of producing a lag free game with the right settings. Keep in mind graphics dont mean much to me. I've heard things like #D analyze might work but I don't know if it would in my situation. Can someone PLEASE clear everything up for me and tell me what settings I should have on my game, my computer, my video card, etc. I want to reduce the lag and stuttering the best I can. It really irritates me when pitching because I'm forced to stop the meter early. I thank everyone and anyone who has read this and it going to try and help me. Please ask for more info if necessary and please give me all options and recommendations. I thank you all! (p.s.) I also installed KC's 1x uni's instead of 2x and people have said some testpatch or kraw's compression program might reduce my lag. please let me know if these programs may help me.

baseballfans Posted January 29, 2008 Share Posted January 29, 2008 I would recommend 1 Gig of Ram or 2 stick of 512 ram will make it run little better. U using 256 ram & 512 ram. Usually an equal amount of ram run more smoothly. There is not much U can do with PCI video card but the best PCI that can handle VISTA and intense application is ati x1550 U can get one online http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/Se...18660&CatId=319 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigPaPa Posted January 29, 2008 Share Posted January 29, 2008 256 MB of ram is WAY LOW to run a modded game. I think that was the recommended minimum for 05 as is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
