More lag that makes me want to kill someone

[Harkin]

1 gig harddrive space? total? free?

i think he means 1024MB of memory... i hope!

lag is caused by several things... the act of lag is different in different situations, as you saw in my screenshot my FPS was 71, and i had 100% CPU and about 300MB(total) of RAM used, and about 500 of my windows virtual used.... and i only have 512 DDR 2100, about the slowest you can still buy, and my hard drive space is in windows, 4 gigs free, about to be 2gigs free tonight :\\

I meant I have 1000mb RAM.....Or 1gig RAM.... That?s what I meant. And you can\'t say I don\'t have it when I DO. And I have 100gig space. NOT 1gig. And every thing in my comp is THE BEST you can get. THE BEST! So you can see why I have a hard time wondering why other people don\'t lag .And I do?

Again, 100% cpu usage and 300 mb RAM used is NOT lag! Lag is when you have such high ping, that people in the game are moving very strange, ever played Unreal Tournament at 900 ping? Then you\'ll know what I\'m talking about. But this lag doesn\'t affect planeshift. I\'m having graphical lag, low fps, because I have a videocard with only 64 mb memory on board. 100% cpu usage is normal! Every game has 100% cpu usage. And I\'d say there\'s nothing strange about 300 mb memory usage, everyone has it, how old or new your pc is.
Case closed, you\'re not lagging!!!

[Slagle]

why are both your screenshots the same area with the same text going, but yet there suppose to be 3 weeks later? srry if some1 already posted this..i just seen it and zipped to the bottom

[Slagle]

srry srry my bad..that was a quote some1 did of your screen shot...people gotta quit quoting i get confuzed a heck

you will never have the best unless you update every week or so..

obviously you arent that computer smart, you will never have 1000MB of RAM, physically impossible due to how RAM is made, they are in powers of two, 1GIG of ram is 1024MB, thats why RAM is sold in 256, 512,1024... and so on

a 100 gig hardrive isnt 100000MB and never will be, the market sells items on a 1gig=1000MB, but that is false, so learn so facts before splattering like a fool...

and 1 gig RAM isnt the best, as many MB\'s support upto 4 gig of ram standard.. then theres DDR2 which i expect you dont have...

I have 512 mb RAM and a 160 gig hard drive, which should eb alright, but only a 2.16 Ghz processor.

So mnah.

im on an Athlon 1700+ or 1.46 Ghz...

what is your average FPS?

you have the obvious things right?
lowering resolution and other settings?

set your desktop to 1024x768 if it isnt there, then the game to the same, i dont know why but in many games, that had graphical lag, that fixed it...

[Kwip]

Most if not all the lag people are complaining about is graphical lag, and in my opinion it is much better than before.  I can remember in MB when you would be walking around town and then semi-freeze for a few minutes at the end of which you would find yourself in a totaly different area

[Cybio Kingfist]

I don\'t know how to check the FPS. I\'ll try matching it with my screen reolution though. My screen is always at  1024x768 but I play it in a 800x600 window. When I change my screen to 800x600, I switch the game to 1024x768...Probably why I haven\'t noticed it yet.

[Harkin]

On the stat window in CB, at the bottom it says your FPS. You know, the window with your health and stuff, just look at the very bottom.

Nah, you need 2GB of ram and an athlon 64 like me to run the game good

at least 90% of all 3d games use 99% of your processor power or as much as it can.
So planeshift is no exception.
And the lag is not because of high CPU usage.
It\'s because of bad (slow)3d card / cpu / mem / hd.
The sad thing is that if one is bad, the whole system fails.
like a 8 row freeway with 1 meter of 1 row freeway in it. The freeway will be slow to traffel because of that small peace of 1 row freeway.

I\'ve got a bad lag..because of slow FPS..and that\'s probably because my memory card..and bad CPU..:[

Stop being elitist, pointing out the fact that he has 24 extra MB and therefore everything he says is wrong is just stupid, lets address the real problem here, instead of calling him ignorant.

What do you define as lag?  Do you mean your game is running slowly?  PS uses ALOT of ram, that happens for everyone- in the region of 250-300mb.

Someone said

How do you discribe lag?
1 high memory usage or cpu usage (\'cause that\'s normal!)
2 Low fps in-game (that\'s graphical lag, caused by bad graphics cards or slow cpu\'s)
3 High ping (who cares about that? It\'s not an FPS game...)

and you said

I only have number one. Not 2 and NOT 3.

So whats the problem? The game runs fine, has a good fps.  It uses alot of memory on everyones computer, thats what it does.  \'Lag\' is not using alot of memory, but the game running slowly.  The two are often related, but if the games isnt running slowly for you then i dont see a problem.
