AT one point in my game, I couldn't HARTdrop without leaving the world. I uninstalled, installed, and repatched the game, it works now. I can fight. However, it has UNPLAYABLE LAG now. How can I make the game less laggy?

We need to know what kind of lag it is, FPS lag, or Network lag, next time you in game playing, type /stats and keep an eye on the little box when it stats to lag, tell us if the FPS drops, or if your ping and packet loss get really high.

Add another 512 megs of RAM. If you can't do that, start playing with the in-game video settings and reducing detail levels. Don't forget to look into the advanced tab, turning off detailed vehicles will give you a huge performance boost for only (well...) slightly uglier rides. Also, right-click your desktop and go to properties, click the settings tab, click advanced. The next part will vary depending on your video card, but there should be an option for Performance that you will want to slide towards performance and away from detail.

I get it all the time, when I go through a warpgate or go by hart, it comes up with you have left the world but the loading bar keeps loading, when it finishes, nothing happens. I also get alot of lag. I have 256 RAM and that�s the problem, people say you need +1.5 GB RAM to work properly. P.S. where do you get those input lines "/stats" from.

I too use to suffer from that prob it most likely isn't network lag (unless you connevtion is below DSL) for me it was FPS lag just lower your settings from Recommended to low then go to custom and increase you siht range.

You need one gig.

----------------

And obviously its your ram and vid card but i dont know which one is causing the real problem.

SquirrelMan · 2004-01-17, 02:58 PM

it is F/S lag. Heavy lag. At one point I was down to 3.6 F/S

sooo, considering my specs, what should I do to fix it? lower the graphics maybe?

Get more RAM, and pray the PS team improves the netcode. A lot of it is shite netcode.

SquirrelMan · 2004-01-17, 03:18 PM

ok, where's a good place to get more RAM cheaply? (I dont have much money available to spend on it...)
