when i play halo and i have lots of people online, my comp lags like hell and everything slows down. im thinking of getting new parts for my comp like maybe more ram or a processor, but i wanna know exactly what's gonna take away the lag. so basically, how can i get rid of that lag? i have a pretty good vid card, im pretty sure its not that, so what can i do to get rid of lag?

What kind of Internet connection do you have, and how many players are you trying to support in a game?

More ram would help. Whats your processor speed?

i have 1.4 gigahertz, would doubling my ram take off most of the lag?

I'm not sure if this would work, but try disabling shadows, that should help alittle.

ive tried disabling shadows, and basically toning down my graphics card as low as it will go and its helped a bit but still it does lag.

Get a faster CPU and more RAM. What video card do you have? It might not be as good as you think.

james587 · Post by **james587** » Mon Jun 20, 2005 12:51 pm
