Lag issues


Predatory

I recently updated my drivers for my xfx 8800GTS and now im getting lag, i had none before.

I noticed now that the resolution will go slightly higher for some reason now but lowering it back to what it was isnt making any difference. The lag seems to come and go as im moving around, not related to power usage or anything and no new programs are running in the background.

My pc is a 4ghz pentium 4 dual core, 2gb ram which is why i cant understand why now im all of a sudden getting lag. The update said it was improving speeds up to 12% not making it slower!

Anyone else having this issue? Im thinking of reverting back to the old version but if theres any solutions i would prefer it.

When you say "lag" what do you mean? Slow responses to commands, rubberbanding, etc...?

Or a low framerate?

Sorry, i meant low frame rate. I do use a wireless internet connection that sometimes rubberbands/make responses slower, but that hasnt changed since the graphics update.

The framerate is at least half of what it was.

EDIT: bit more information, previously to the update my resolution was 1440x900 playing in window mode. I just looked and its actually lower now, not higher at 1440x830 in window mode. I havent shrunk the screen down at all, its the same size as it was.

Running O&O defrag on computer now, running the /access one. Hopefully should improve, it was fairly defragmented at 35%

Ok the defrag sorted it perfectly, i thought it was the patch but i guess it wasnt.
