Major lag issue

Postby trainmaster611 » Thu Nov 05, 2009 2:35 am

I dunno what's up with this but I've been running ~16fps on JBA and ~9fps on HA lately on the lowest graphics settings. And this is with only half-full servers. Neither servers had high ping nor did anyone on those servers have high ping. I recently got a new monitor though. Any help please?

Servers are fine, I played on two tonight with no lag at all.

Did you install a new video card or just monitor?

and was the monitor at a massive resolution?

Its just a new monitor, not a video card.

The resolution before I got my monitor was 800x600 and it is 800x600 now presuming the new monitor should automatically adjust the resolution settings. But either way, the game sets it to 1024x960 when I play so it shouldn't m@tter.

I'm afraid I don't totally know what exactly drivers do. In any event, this is not a 'new' monitor per se. I just replaced my clunky 2001 monitor with a flat screen 2004 monitor from my sister's computer.

EDIT

I tested some non-WGO servers and even just single player. Its definitely not server or internet, its something with my computer.

I'd try setting game resolution in game, under options, video. Set it to the lowest available, then set everything underneath to either "off" or "low". Make sure Vsync is OFF.

That's what I have done. No impact. I tried 'update driver' whatever the hell that is, but again nothing.
