The all dredded LAG

[swede1 1,726]

I was having a lot of lag problems and was refreshing almost every game I went in, this has helped immensely.

1- Reset internet explorer in advanced. This will fix any improper settings.

2- Delete browsing history in all browsers This will delete any corrupted links.

3- Close all browsers.

4- Get a privacy cleaner "I use Kaspersky internet security privacy cleaner and select all.

This will erase all temp data that is used to load progams faster, after you start playing the 2nd time it will start faster again.

5- Open control panel and open network and sharing center and select change adapter settings.

This will repair network adapter as driver can become corrupt from overheating during gaming.

6- Right click on wirless network and click diagnose.

7- Update graphics card clean install as driver can become corrupt from overheating during gaming.

8- Shut down system and wireless router and leave off for 5 min. Restart system and router ".

9-Create secondary log on to your start screen without administrative access.

I never use Administrative account when I'm online and i protect it with a password.

This will block any unauthorized sysem changes.

10- Start Gaming. If your FPS is low reduce the viewing area with the (-) sign till the FPS increases to a good speed, I like mine over 50.

whenever I plan on intense gaming I preform steps 2 thru 6 first

I haven't had any problems since :D :D :D

Another thing that I do is delete all but the latest restore point to free up more HD space (it helps with older computers that don't have a fast drive access). When this is done - and all junk files removed, it's time for a defrag. I never use the Windows defrag tool as it's just so slow...

 

In fact, it speeds up your computer's start up if you disable it in msconfig. I then use Auslogics defrag (free and clean download from Auslogics). I use the 'defrag and optimise' option which puts certain files on the fastest part of the HD.

 

My laptop is pretty old (2006) and I have to use the smoothest running browser. I found IE to be the most choppy, Chrome a little better and Maxthon the best all-round. To minimise lag further, I run in safe mode - with only 500MB of RAM you need to get drastic :)
