online gaming issue
My friend has been having computer issues, and i've been trying my best to help her figure out the source, since I'm generally better at looking up things, or finding where to ask. So, forgive me for the lack of information here, but i've never actually seen the computer to which i am about to refer. She has a desktop with a dual core motherboard. It has like 2-3 gigs of ram, and she recently bought a good video card. (geforce 8800 i believe, but not positive.) Games run excellently offline. The trouble is, when she plays any online games, she experiences severe lag. She has this computer hooked up to a cable internet connection. They also have DSL for the other computers in the house. She has used her laptop on the cable with no lag, and has tried the desktop on the DSL as well with no improvement. New network card as well, which was tested and worked fine in another computer. something has to be wrong, software related, but i'm out of ideas. She has no firewall , and only has AV running when scanning, though there is a built in firewall on the modem, but it doesn't interfere with any other computer so it -shouldn't- be an issue. done virus and spyware sweeps, and remarkably, her system is clean. few things found, sure, but mine is usually way worse with no net issues. Like I said, out of ideas. any suggestions on what could be the cause, or at least what to try? -- dreghert ------------------------------------------------------------------------ dreghert's Profile: http://forums.techarena.in/member.php?userid=50603 View this thread: http://forums.techarena.in/showthread.php?t=977176 http://forums.techarena.in |

The games she plays include Neverwinter Nights 1+2, plays fine offline but lags on any server, WoW, EQ2, SWG, and there may be others but I am not aware of, or do not remember them. All servers have the same issue, and she can hook up any other computer to the same internet connection and play them without any lag at all. It's obviously something with that computer itself, but as some games run fine offline, its not the system specs, but rather the internet connection. oh, and the only AV I know of that she has is Spyware Doctor. its what I use as well, and has never caused issues. -- dreghert ------------------------------------------------------------------------ dreghert's Profile: http://forums.techarena.in/member.php?userid=50603 View this thread: http://forums.techarena.in/showthread.php?t=977176 http://forums.techarena.in |
