Basically yes.

the idea is to get the system as lean and mean as ya can, getting it under 20 processes running in the goal.

Done that.

Badair, read the post by Donkey. This power setting issue causes warping in AH. At the beginning of this year I bought a new pc. AH was unplayable because of the warping. Took me 5 months of frustration to figure out it was just a simple power setting. Now mine runs smooth as silk.

Yeah, I've tried diff power settings, nothing is working. This problem is also specific to AH, WB runs fine.

Are you running a dual core processor?

Badair · « **Reply #21 on:** September 09, 2007, 11:04:35 AM »

I don't think so Buk,

Dell Inspiron 9300
Intel Pentium 1.86GHz
1.00 GB RAM

It's a laptop, a couple years old now.

Hi, I'm also having the same problem... I'm not sure whether it is my connection speed (1.5Mbps download 256Kb upload) or my integrated graphics card (nVidia GeForce 6150 LE) so below is my ping plot times for the IP address of 206.16.60.39.

I am also trying to remove services and tasks running in the background that are not needed and am trying to free up as much RAM as possible.

Would anyone also say that I may have to swith back to Windows XP to run better with the memory, and how I could do that... Thanks!

Ok, I have solved the problem with a SQD mate and got rid of my warping. Maybe you can try this out to if your having issues with warping. What I did was just cut back the video memory i wanted to use to 256, not as good graphics but alot better then being able to scream across the map in 3 sec. I hope it helps ya!

The Fugitive · « **Reply #24 on:** September 11, 2007, 07:09:13 AM »

Skuzzy has said that going back to XP from vista has seem increases up to 25 percent. On the other hand having an onboard video card like that is never that good for gaming, they just don't have omff to run graphics well.

Skuzzy · « **Reply #25 on:** September 11, 2007, 07:46:57 AM »

All onboard vide chips should have the "Maximum Texture Size" set to 256. It reduces the resources the game will use substantially. Disable skins is next. Another huge resource.

But those two traces look pretty bad. The one from England, is having severe issues at Telstra. Seems there is possibly a bandwidth issue for Telstra, or a router is overloaded, or there is a routing issue.

Routing issues will nor mally clear themselves after 24 hours or so. They happen quite often on the Internet. Bandwidth has to be fixed by the ISP. Most ISP's will run bandwidth to the 70 to 75% level. Meaning the size of the pipe is done to handle 70 to 75 percent of the loads during any given 24 hour period. It is just an economical factor. During the 25 to 30 percent times, the pipe will struggle to keep up with demand,

Router issues happen for a lot of reasons. Could be a router needs a clean reboot which induces the routing problems. Or the router is simply not able to meet the 25 to 30 percent levels of activity. Again, ISP's do not run with enormous amounts of free bandwidth available. If they do, they will be out of business soon.

Both the traces in this thread need to be forwarded to the ISP's in question.
