lagging bad Options

[CodeName]

The other day logged on to stock maps , everything working fine then all of a sudden the lag got so bad I could not even play. Any server I log into now the lag is still bad.Any comments would be greatly appreciated.

Another option that might help is to check your windows properties regarding RAM/virual memory/system pagefile management.... most folks set it to 1.5x their ram size, but there's the other option you can tick in that area to 'let windows manage the pagefile size'... that is allocate such 'emergency memory' resources where it sees its needed.

Right click your My Computer Icon/select Properties/ in the advanced tab select Performance-settings/ then select Advanced then virtual memory change-have a look at how things are set-up there-you have 2 feasible options...

1] Custom; use the minimum-maximum area [and 2 choices here are to have setting on both to 1.5 x your total ram amount, or a minimum of around your ram total and up 1.5x your ram as the maximum].
2]Or select system managed size to let windows calculate the pagefile size.

Select 'cancel' to exit if neither of these appeal to you.

That being said although I noticed programs running smoother, I did I have huge lag problems when I popped into Barby server today. Could it be your ISP connection to this server? Maybe OMM or Druid would know if something specific like that could affect things. Even with 256 ram a year ago I had nearly the best ping in the servers all the time- but the last 4-5 months I found more often than not I suffered lag issues much like yours.I have 512 ram now but that didn't ease much lag issues today. PB acted up on me too making me retype my cd key.
