  1. I loved this game. Its the only thing I really played in the last 8 years. Its the only MMO I've ever liked enough to play for more than a few days. I loved these forums too. I read them a lot, but rarely posted.

    Goodbye. You'll be missed.

    Hi Aries,

    I grabbed both of these apps. I really like the Wifi Analyzer. I was surprised at how many networks it was able to pick up from my house. None of the other networks' signals were more than 1/2 as strong as mine.
  3. Hi All,

    I brought the machine downstairs and was finally able to test using a wired connection tonight. The game was stable and lag-free for about 16 minutes. After this, the lag returned for about 90 seconds. I didn't wait longer to see if the pattern repeats, but I'm sure that it will.

    Before I tested COH, I disabled the wireless adapter and ran ping tests to Yahoo and Google, which are my usual targets. They returned exactly the same response rates as the wireless connection.

    My brother-in-law also came by to work on some stuff with me earlier in the afternoon. He brought his laptop (I had to correct an issue with the DVD drive) which also runs COH. He has an older Core2Duo, running Vista, and had no lag issues running the game over my wireless connection.

    So, its probably my machine, since his didn't exhibit any of the problems that mine has, over the same connection. We tested separately, and together. At no time did he lag. I lagged with each test.

    There has been done serious damage, try a reg cleaner or if that wont help a clean fresh install can help (i know thats a Pita but sometimes necessary).

    Greetings
    Thanks for picking up on this. I'll run CCleaner later today and let it work on the registry. I'll see if it picks up what you did, above.

    Laying on the floor it's GOING to get trod upon. And they don't make cable guards (the black floor "bumps") that long usually.

    Also, with longer runs you have to worry about interference, as a long enough run will act like an antenna. Especially on shoddy quality cables.

    But, if the computer's in the same room as the gateway, I HEARTILY recommend going wired rather than wireless.

    With wireless, between 1/3 and 1/2 of the rated bandwidth is actually consumed by network overhead.

    I'll experiment with this over the weekend (unless I get back from my client early today, in which case maybe I can do it tonight). I'll bring the PC downstairs to the living room, with the router, and see what happens... God knows I have enough CAT5 laying around somewhere.

It also helps to run a consistency check before you begin the log in process. This is especially important if you have just left FB. Zinge drops more temp files on your computer than any other website, my professional IT opinion. Also, if you are using a “G” wireless and an “N” receiver or the opposite connection, please realize all bandwidth will be established by slowest access point/receiver and therefore be limited to the G speed. The first thing I would do would be to change both to N. Cisco bought Linksys several years ago and they both maintain high quality routers/switches and offer great tech support. Another and cheapet solution may be to purchase a “Dumb Hub”, hook the main feed into the hub, and run a CAT5E from an available RJ45 port directly to your computer. The distance is limited to 50 feet with CAT5E. You can purchase the more expensive CAT6 cable and reach 75 - 100 feet. Granted you'll have CAT5 cable running out the window or down the hall but it wioll be the fastest available. Good luck, Doc Artz, EnChancer

    Hi JR,

    I haven't defragged, but I'll do that right now (as I'm about to run off, shower and get ready to go to work). This build is relatively new (I reinstalled Windows on Wednesday, last week) so I don't think its overly cluttered yet. I just moved files over from my old HD on Monday, and recently ran Windows Update, so I'll see if it helps.

    I have a FB account, but haven't logged in since this past summer. Even when on that, I stopped playing FB games a few years ago... they were getting in the way of other things, and their performance at the time wasn't spectacular (especially a certain mafia game).

    I know about the wireless G vs. N bottleck. I'll get this resolved shortly. If I remember to, I'll grab a wireless N router this weekend. It wasn't really an issue in the past though, and I don't know that it would necessarily lead to periods of lag and periods of smooth gaming, instead of an overall slower experience.

    I can try to test with a wired connection this weekend as well... I don't like the idea of running cable across floors. I did things like this a bunch of times when I was I/T. I wired a nursing home... it sucked, and a small airplane once, which was interesting. Its been a long time since I worked with hardware though... I've been in EMR design for about 8 years now and I'm not as confident with my hardware skills as I used to be, since its been close to a decade since I've had to stay on top of things, and even then, towards the end, I really wasn't as involved in that end. I'll probably move the PC downstairs to test.

    If my issue goes away with a wired connection, what should I look at doing, after upgrading the router to N and possibly moving it or the phones and experimenting with channels? Are there any best practices?

When that happens, you'll still see a strong signal, but the channel itself will slow down due to contention or interference.

    I've also seen things like 2.4Ghz cordless phones interfere with wifi routers, and even older microwave ovens. Changing channels may dodge the largest sources of interference in your area, if that is the source of the problem.
    Hi Arcana,

    I tried this and it actually helped a bit. I changed from Channel 6 (2.437 GHz) to 1 (2.412 GHz) and the time before I lag increased. I'm able to play for about 10 mins before getting a block of lag spikes, instead of 5 mins. I'm going to try other channels and see if they have any effect, later today.

    I DO have two cordless phones close to the router. I'll see about moving either these, or the router. Do you know how far apart they should be before they don't affect each other? Right now, they're on two shelves in the living room. I have inmounted bookcases with the router on the bottom shelf (at about waist-height) and the two phones (I have two lines - one for work and one for home) on the shelf directly above it. They're about a foot apart.

    I can always upgrade the card. That's not a problem. Its what came with the machine when I bought it from Newegg about 3 years ago, and it ran really well using those settings. About 2 years ago, the lag started. I still suspect that its a Windows update that's now part of SP1 or something.

    Originally, the machine was lag-free and I ran using the highest settings in Ultra Mode. I had been running on my 10-year old Pentium 4 2.4 until then. THAT lagged after time. Compared to the new PC, it was like night & day. I ran around grabbing screenshots of the game all over again, just like when it was new.

    I can't remember exactly when I started getting lag. I really should have been more attentive, but I know it was about 2 years ago. I don't make changes to the machine often, as I do the same things with it all the time, so the only software changes that come immediately to mind would have been from Windows, Java, Avira, Superantispyware, CCleaner or driver software. Oh, and COH itself.

    Right now, when I'm not in a lag spell. the game runs very smoothly. I'm going to look at what I can do to correct any detectable network issues and hope that a sharper mind than mine can offer a clue that can help to correct this.

    Ordinarily, I know better than to do this. I'm not sure what happened last week. I think it was a combination of the late hour (it was like 3 AM) and my lack of progress that made me disregard at least a little caution and start killing off services. I had also spent about 2 hours removing Windows updates one at a time, writing them down and seeing if it had any effect. It didn't. Generally, if I can't sleep, I work or I practice my bass. In hindsight, these would have been safer activities, but at least I know now that the lag wasn't related to anything that was installed after Windows on the machine, since I was able to test from a very naked build.

    Its funny. I still have a lot of my old hard drives, from the late 80s and 90s. I have all of my old messages from my BBSing days on them. I think I see myself digging through them, on an upcoming sleepless night. Thankfully, the chances of frying my system again doing that are low.
  10. Hi Chad,

    I'm connecting to the internet via wireless card. I was using a wireless N USB card from Belkin, but when I picked up the new hard drive last week, I grabbed a wireless N PCI card from TrendNet (and since it was cheap, upgraded from 4 GB of RAM to 12 GB as well). The internet has been working faster with the PCI card than it was with the USB.

    My router is from Linksys. I can't remember the model offhand. Its a wireless G, which I also plan on upgrading to a wireless N. I just didn't remember to do it when I was at Microcenter. The modem is owned by Cablevision. My provider is Optimum Online. Connectivity to it is great. The PCI card shows full bars all the time (I'm upstairs and the router is downstairs). My wife's tablet and her laptop also get good signal strength when we take either one to the basement for streaming. Every few months, I unplug the router and modem, just to keep them a little fresh. The last time I did this was last month. It was actually due to a blackout caused by a rainstorm.

    Is there any way I can monitor the connection for myself, before calling the provider? Should I run a constant ping to one of the COH servers? I tend to have the Task Manager and Performance Monitor running when I try to play... for the longest time I've not even really tried to play, I've been watching the lag on the Task Manager & Performance Monitor and trying to figure out what could be causing it. So far, I've found nothing conclusive on the machine itself. I Google every process that's unfamiliar to me and experimented with ending processes to try and use process of elimination to figure out if a process or service was causing the lag. That's actually what caused me to go out and buy new hardware last week. I ended the wrong process and crashed the computer. System Restore didn't quite work. System Repair didn't work at all. I ended up grabbing the new HD and performing a reinstall. I've learned to be a lot more cautious when ending tasks.
  11. I've tried to correct this many times over the past 2 years but have met with no success. This last time, after my recent rebuild/reinstallation of Windows 7, I installed COH via the NCSoft Launcher before updating the rest of the system or even installing antivirus software. The only updated software was the Nvidia driver. The lag was present. I've made no progress.

    Due to this, I believe that the root of the problem is either with Windows, or with my network connectivity. I did try another post-apocalyptic MMO earlier this month (I know we can't name other games) when I couldn't get COH running properly, and it suffered from similar lag, as well as an online RTS/empire building game, which also did the same. Neither of these two games are installed since reinstalling Windows last week.

  14. Hi,

    I've been getting very heavy lag while trying to play on my desktop. I have a Core I5 with 12 gigs of ram and an Nvidia Geforce 9500 GT video card. In general, the lag takes about 5 mins to appear, lasts between a minute to 90 seconds, and then is gone. It happens again about 5 mins later. This cycle repeats. I've not played much for the past 2 years due to this, but I'd like to see if anyone can help me to resolve the issue.

    My system was recently rebuilt. I reinstalled Windows 7 on a new 2 TB hard drive, and moved my old 500 GB drive over to be a secondary. The issue persists on this new installation, as it did in the old one.

    Here are some screenshots of the lag hitting. I always play with the netgraph and showfps turned on, so those are captured in the screenshot as well.

    I apologize for the above links. Apparently, Flickr just changed their policies so I can't link to my images the way that I used to. I'll grab Hijack This and run it and post the results as well.

    Also - I've been experiencing this problem with the graphics settings on low, and actually experienced slightly lower durations of lag with the settings turned up. I don't think its necessarily COH. I think that its either network or drive-activity related.
  15. I've begun to consolidate enhancements from different servers onto one base, because I can't keep track of what I have when outfitting alts. I've basically been emailing myself via global mail and grabbing stuff with an alt in the SG that I'm using for storage.

    I just found out that there's a limit of 150 outgoing messages per day from any one account. My question is: Is this limit clock-based (midnight-to-midnight) or is it based on the time in which the last email was sent (like if I sent #150 at 5pm, do I have to wait until 5pm the next day to start sending more messages).
  16. I'm finally getting through Invisibles, by Grant Morrison, and its making me really itch to play Mage: the Ascension again. I read the first 3 trades a long time ago, got the rest last year, and only now have been making time to go through it. Its messing with my head, making me see and remember connections to all kinds of stuff, and I love it.

    I didn't know there was a conversion document available. Can you post a link? I'd love to experiment with combining some of the oWOD lore with nWOD mechanics.
  18. Hi Terra. Windows 7 automatically reinstalled the driver for the graphics card when I uninstalled it. I think it did it from its driver matrix. However, my network card is a Belkin wireless USB stick. It came with a USB extension (a cord with a little round bay with one port) which I use to stand it on my desk, between my monitor and right speaker. (This is my card.)

    I unplugged the Belkin from the extension and plugged it directly into one of the front USB ports on the pc. I haven't had the extreme lag spikes since, and I noticed that maps also load a little quicker. (I still get little spikes now and again, but its playable and the spikes are tiny, not a solid block of green.)

    I'm going to pull out the machine later tonight and try again, with the wireless stick directly in the back of the pc, where the extension is plugged in. I'm curious if its the extension or the rear port, but for now it does look like its a USB issue of some sort.

    As an added mystery, my machine has 2 frontside USB ports and a few in the back. When I plug devices into one of the frontside ports, it frequently also knocks my network card off. I suspect its a motherboard issue of some sort. I just never had it affect COH until around October.
  19. Hi Terra. I went through the instructions in your link. I grabbed Driver Sweeper and the drivers from the nVidia website (I had CCleaner, been using it for years). I then uninstalled the nVidia Display drivers (there were a few other nVidia categories, but the screenshots showed those). I rebooted into Safe Mode, Windows 7 reinstalled the drivers, I ran Driver Cleaner and had it remove the drivers again and reboot. I then installed the new drivers and rebooted again.

    The same thing then happened that happened the first 2 times I tried updating the video driver. Windows 7 started loading, the logo with the swirling colors ran, and when it came time to show the login screen, I had a black screen in front of me. One thing that I failed to say earlier, and remembered only when it happened again is, when the black screen was up, all of my USB devices died. I use a wireless network card and it had no light, and my keyboard, which is USB, froze (numlock was stuck on and caps lock wouldn't turn on, neither would toggle).

    I did a hard boot after waiting 10 mins and went into safe mode. I then tried to roll back the driver, but the option was grayed-out, which leads me to believe that Driver Sweeper did at least work. I ended up loading from the system restore point that I had created right before I performed this whole process, so I'm back at square one again.
  20. Hi Mandu. I'm not running any software like that. I think I know what you're referring to though. Years ago, some people in my old office used something similar. I think it was called Webshots. They loaded up on pics of puppies and kittens that changed every hour.
  21. Thanks for the replies. I did try updating the drivers directly from nVidia's website a few months ago. I actually tried it twice. This is just the snip I saved to a textfile on my desktop with the dates and versions of the drivers (I always do that when I make changes, just to know what I'm going to and where I came from).

    Upgraded to:
    8.17.12.6099
    10/16/2010

    Reverted back to:
    8.16.11.9107
    9/27/2009

    When I update the driver, Windows doesn't boot up completely. It never gets to the login screen; it just hangs. Last night, I updated the network card's driver, because I was researching some more and saw that some people with HD and network spikes were able to solve it by doing that. It didn't work. About 20 mins. in, it started again.
  22. Its not letting me post the part with DirectShow Filters or EVR Power information. I'll post the HijackThis log for now:

  25. Hi. Since October, I've been having a problem with COH. It intermittently lags for 60-90 seconds, rendering the game unplayable while it does this. I've been running the Performance Monitor in Win7 to see if I could learn anything about why this is happening, but haven't found anything conclusive.

    Network and hard drive activity spike up very high, and my netgraph in-game shows tall green lines. Sometimes CPU usage spikes as well.

    I researched and disabled indexing, but it didn't solve the problem. It seems to happen outside of COH as well, but its not as noticeable unless I'm in-game.

    Also, my video drivers aren't up-to-date. When I update them, Win7 doesn't boot up. It freezes after the splash screen. I'm able to get into safe mode and roll back the video driver, which lets Windows run normally again. I've tried updating twice with the same results.

    If anyone has any idea of what might be causing this, feel free to let me know. I'll attach a DxDiag log file and HijackThis log file to this thread.
