As Nferno said, "it's best to not have anything running in that back that uses up resources or CPU usage during gameplay"

Which means as few IE browser windows has possible, and only have the minimum number of programs open that you need.
Example: having some sort of audio player, msn, and aim open is just asking to get lagged.

When I'm playing, I only have: SFO game browser open, and aim. That's it.

Does that include all the little things in your toolbar?

unless you have a comp over 1.2GHZ it's best to have nothing open but the game...the CPU can only take so much :biggrin: but fi you have a *super* computer you can multitask as usual but you might still be affected but not as much as those of of with not so *super* computers :biggrin:

DA_VIPA · 01-22-2004, 07:45 AM

oh so what about all those little programs that run practically all the time on the task manager dont they affect the usage of your cpu and the lag in the game?

Nferno666 · 01-22-2004, 12:13 PM

depends on what service your talking about, there are some you can close and some that you can't :biggrin:

I don't see the point in lowering lag. I could do all the things that summary said to minimising lag, but if the other player doesn't do the same, isn't there still gonna be loads of lag?

ledmonkey · 01-23-2004, 08:36 AM

Yes but when you don't lag....and the other player does....its an advantage to you I belive:P
