I have huge problem - Games

Hey,i have same problem as this dude: [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s34E0jZnN0s&feature=related[/media] It all runs on medium for me. Is there any way to fix this?

lower some settings.

first of are you using wireless? are you using vista, xp, or windows 7? its most likely has to do something with the internet, since the game fails to place you where you should be. time how much time there is inbetween the lag. if you are on wireless, and its about 60 seconds between each lag, then its the os searching for a connection every minute, xp has an easy fix for this only on vista and wireless (like me) i had to install all new drivers on my network card (wich is a pain) and run a small background program called wlan optimizer.

I have a similar problem; except it's not total freezing. I just have bursts of low framerate every several seconds. It only started happening yesterday. :frown: I'm on Windows 7 64-bit, by the way.

Do you have multicore enabled? If so disable it

[QUOTE=jlj1;18745762]Do you have multicore enabled? If so disable it[/QUOTE] i have it, works perfectly fine

Well,i've update my drivers and going to try this now: [url]http://www.fpsbanana.com/threads/118640[/url]

Try this: 1. Launching TF2 2. At the menu, minimize 3. Go into the task manager 4. Right click TF2, Set priority to low. See if this helps

No you aren't. If it is like in the video, it IS a lock up. The program freezes, not the connection. Proof of that is finding yourself dead after the end of the lock up. It means the server continued normally when your client was locked.

Why am I even arguing still..

While I'm at it i seem to have this problem whereby upon launching Steam my router crashes. It's also happens in TF2 when i launch it and then again the first time I attempt to connect to a server. It's also happens on occasions when i try to open the Steam Community page. Sorry to hijack the thread but i didn't want to have to make a new one.

Usually, this kind of stuff happens because the engine could not access a non-cached file in time. That means two things: 1) You don't have enough RAM for the game 2) Background applications are eating precious ressources I could run TF2 on a PC with 512 megabytes of RAM by going in Low/Medium, DX8, and quitting as much stuff as possible in the background via the Task Manager. Not even a single stuttering happening, just a few framerate gaps and hills!

if you use skins this happens a lot

[QUOTE=Reg;18748204]Lagspikes don't make sound loop. Why am I even arguing still..[/QUOTE] THEY FUCKING DO I HAD IT:bang:

Its the infamous datacache.dll glitch that valve has never fixed. I used to be plagued by it all the time, If you had less ram rather than hang your game would straight up crash. I don't know how to fix it, but I know it is caused when there is both lots of action (as in your FPS drops suddenly) and lots of noise.
