Vista Rubberbanding

rubberbanding is more a problem stemming from your connection to the CoX map server. You "snap" back when you become out of sync.. so.. try updating your internet cards drivers..
By "rubber banding all the time" do you really mean "once per minute the game appears to lag out, and I rubber band backwards by about 1 second"? If so, read on - I think I know what your problem is.
You are probably using a wireless signal to connect to the internet. The issue is that Vista is programmed to "update" its wireless connection once per minute (I don't know technically if that's exactly what it's doing - but basically it's something along the lines of once per minute it checks to see if it is connected to the best wireless it can connect to, and, if not, will try to connect to the best one) - and every time it does, you get hit by a lag spike, which rubber bands you.
The two fixes are: connect to the internet through a land line (cable, etc.) - that'll solve the problem. OR, if that's not practical, there's a program called Vista Anti Lag. Just do a google search for it - you should be able to download and install it for free. Once you turn it on, it'll shut of Vista's incessent 'search for a new wireless' every minute B.S., and you should be fine. But you'll need to remember to re-activate it every time your computer is rebooted, or every time you come back from idle.
Hopefully that's what it is, so hopefully this'll help you.
M.A. Arcs
Intended for high level play: The Primus Trilogy (Arc #s 10931, 283821, 283825), "Freakshow U" (Arc #189073), Purification (Arc #352381, Dev's Choice!
)Intended for low level play: "Learning the Ropes" (Arc #100304), "Cracking Skulls" (Arc #115935), "The Lazarus Project" (Arc #124906)
I'd recommend starting with Zloth's ++ Common Solutions & Posting Guidelines ++ thread that is stickied in this forum.
Secondly, post a log from running CoH Helper as it will give information about your system and the CoH installation and settings.
Thirdly, post a log from running HijackThis. This will show what else is going on on your computer while you are playing CoH.
If the game spit out 20 dollar bills people would complain that they weren't sequentially numbered. If they were sequentially numbered people would complain that they weren't random enough.

This is exactly the problem. Thanks a million. I will start searching a web for the application to fix it.

Played CoX from the beginning on Windows XP, my computer finally died and was forced to play on a new system with Vista.
I am getting constant rubberbanding while playing the game. I tried it out on two other systems all Vista but different video cards on processors, but get the identical problem on all three Vista computers.
Is this a problem others are having and anyone know a fix?
