Lag with Missionary, I lag about every min with missionary. Options

[mhspinto]

Hey guys hopefully you can help me with this. I installed missionary two days ago and so far I have loved it except for this lag that seems to happen about every min for 5 secs. Its just hard to play when that happens. I looked through the forum and didn't see anything about this. I remeber when I first started missionary it said something about this and I don't remember what that was and now I can't find it. So anyway hopefully someone knows what to do. Thanks.

You should only get some lag around every 15 minutes or so when CI is scanning, and this should only last for a few seconds.
It may be just me, but the more I have used Missionary the more then game seems to smooth out for me...nothing scientific to it, it may just be me, but give it some to time, and take a look at some of Druid's suggestions below.



Quote from Druid:

I've had several people tell me missionary caused their ping to rise or cause serious lag. I don't know what to tell people because I don't experience any problems and my computer isn't that great.

What I do know is 3 of the people who complained sent me the tlog from missionary and all 3 had a ton of unneeded crap running in the background.
One of which was an anti-virus program after the person told me he didn't have a antivirus program installed.
Another guy had the longest list of background crap I've seen so far.

Although I hate to pick on Bubba who started this thread but I think it's worth mentioning. Bubba's list of complaints included his ping was higher now because of missionary. I have a hard time understanding how missionary caused his ping to rise when he doesn't even use the program.

I would highly suggest people take a good look at what is running in the background while they play. Open up task manager, look adnd see how much stuff you have running. I'm sure a lot of you will be clueless about many of the names you see. You can look here to see what each program is for.
