Well i am 99% sure that it isnt spyware, malware related . Ive done many reformates , had all the updates and servicepacks on CD. Never connected to internet explorer , or any other tpe of browser or update site . SO fresh install , fire up AH2 , and Still get the same pattern. As do many other people that have posted here . As far as P2P, ive personally never done any. As far as getting someones IP that has been , I have three different isp's , 3 different routes to 216.91.187.39. Still the same . My system is barebones at startup 11 proccess , and i never run anything in the back ground . Hardware ive swapped out , Basically everything except the CPU, CDRW, Floppy . Ping plotter for the most part is fine , No packet loss , well sometimes i get a dropped packet or two at savvis in chicago, but that has been rare as of late .
Or if spyware is running as well. That Variance is indicative of the CPU being pulled away from the game to handle other things. Spyware/Malware programs, anti-virus programs, firewalls, excess network traffic inbound and a melee of other things can cause that Variance.
I can watch the cpu in taskmanager with AH2 minimized , Nothing pulls the cpu away except the system idle proccess, might bump the cpu from time to time . I run no firewall or antivirus , and am on a dialup connection with an external hardware USR modem , so im not sure i would be getting excessive network traffic , but who knows . Ive also tried 3 different modem , No luck. I can also watch the network connection , and nothing uses any network resourses when the connection is idle . No IRQ' s are sharing anything , ANYOTHER IDEAS, im open to any suggestions at this point
