Lag issues starting in November (problem partially solved)

:fire_r:  Fixed lag....

 

Reciently I have been experiencing lag, low frames per second, and wild changes in ping, dropping flags, unable to do damage to other tanks, etc.....

 

I run windows 7 64 bit,  Nvidia 610m 1 gig dedicated memory dual gpu second being intel.

use Firefox and Chrome for browsers.

and latest flashplayer

I have always created guest account in windows to run my everyday gaming, thus fire-walling all administration rights from any possible damage. Glad to have done that now.

I have been triing everything to fix the issue to no avail.

I decided to run in my admin acc and see if there was a difference and low and behold no lag.

Currently checking everything out.

Finding the cause:

1. found Google Chrome to be using 600000k memory in lagging guest account, and only 200000k when using my main account.

2.Verified Nvidia option and game settings identical on both

antialiasing only checked in game settings

and use Nvidia high performance processor for Chrome with optimal setting I have adjusted to my liking.

it seems the Nvidia processor is not functioning properly in my guest account, as changing to lower or higher performance does absolutely no change to the running conditions of the game.

 

Guest account FPS 10-20,  Ping 70 - 400

Admin account FPS 60+/-,  Ping 60 - 80

 

FOR NOW THE PROBLEM IS SOLVED, CONTINUING TO TRACK DOWN THE PROBLEM AND REPAIR THE ISSUE.

 

Found issue with Nvidia 610M 1 gig dedicated memory GPU 

recent update, physx 3d did not install on clean install, windows update was taking over and messing up the installation.

These helped greatly http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/327414-nvidia-drivers-avoid-problems.html  http://www.evga.com/support/faq/afmviewfaq.aspx?faqid=59429

 

Hope this fixes the issues I have been experiencing.

Second issue I found, 2 instances of chrome app launcher running on Nvidia when opening chrome.

this has to do with google plus and was using huge amounts of memory.
