Game Lag

I've had this problem recently with games I play online. Every 3 minutes (literally) the game will lag for about 20 seconds at a time. This isn't "stop" lag either (where the game just stops for a few moments), this is lag where I move, but it's like my ping just went crazy high, and movement is very sluggish. I have tryed numerous virus removal methods, clearing space, making memory, everything I know to do without re-formatting my pc.

Does anyone know what this lag is, and how I can fix it without re-formating or clearing my hardrive and reloading Windows?

Thanks.

 

What Game are u playing to get the lag from and also wat internet connection do u have also wat ya PC Specs

 

maybe try some scans like virus scan, adware scan, anything

 

Also try to powercycle your modem too!! update video drivers and sound drivers... These all may help

 

Do you have a router? Are all ports forwarded? Is your MTU set right? and reset your router.

 

what game or all?

 

Also Ad-ware and spyware scans is also a Good idea also defraging ur HD also will lower the fps

 

defrag your computer , Get popup blockers , Get Ad-aware , Live happy.

 

What video card do you have it could be fps lag, check your net connections, and make sure it wasnt server side lag

 

see if others with your isp in the area have experienced that same problems because it might be your net.

 

My computer is clean as can be. I'm running a DSL connection, and yes I have routers. It happens to all of my games too, FPS and RPG, but only online.

Replacing my cards sounds like a valid idea, however the computer I'm running these games on is a Laptop, so they are ir-replacable.

I don't know if it matters any more anyway. In a few days, I'm getting a CyberPower PC. Tell me if you guys think they're descent.

I think you have a cooling problem. Try to find and buy a laptop cooler, that might help. Something like this might help NOTEBOOK CHILL PAD

 

is it internet lag or screenlag because then you will have to look at your fps rate and your graficscard

 

Are you using a wireless router? That could be the problem.

 

you dont wanna lower the fps buddy. unless its too high....


for me i suggest fixing your rates in the game and ur max fps.
