really confusing lag

by crook • 2 Sep 2008, 14:13 • Journals
Half the time my lagometer looks like there are alot of hairs growing on it, and when that happens it gets totally unplayable(mouse skips, sound skips). The weird part is that my ping stays normal when that happens, but my fps goes from 70 to 20 and back again all the time....

Any1 knows whats causing this?

It's causing due to a sucky computer, I have the same; learn to live with it.

Change drivers for your graphics card.. I had that problem before aswell. Also make sure that you have no cvarbackup-files in your etpro-folder. Update Punkbuster.

Also, make sure that you don't have threaded optimization on and that ET.exe is only using one core.

For further optimization defrag your hard drive

Edit: Hi Crook!
