Comp questions...

I just upgraded my computer to the following specs....but I seem to keep getting some major lag and rubberbanding issues and not sure if it is a comp issue or just the game.

CPU - AMD II X240 Dual Core 2.8 GHz
RAM - 4 gigs of PC800 DDR2
Vid Card - Geforce 9800 GT (512 MB of on card memory I think)
Monitor - 20 inch widescreen LCD
HD - 500 GB (SATA)
DVD Rom
OS - Windows 7 (64 bit)

Since I have upgraded I have set the ingame graphic settings to max (assuming I had the power to run it that way)....my current resolution is 1600 x 900.

Any help would be great.....Thanks!

Lag and rubberbanding all have to do with your connection, your ISP and how busy the server you're on is.In short, it's mostly out of your direct control, regardless of how good your computer is. =(

Allied to all sides so that no matter what, I'll come out on top!
Oh, and Crimson demands you play this arc-> Twisted Knives (MA Arc #397769)

I am on a wireless connection but I have full (excellent) connection strength.

maybe I was just running into server type lag. I am thinking I should bump my ingame graphics setting down one.

Other than the standard "make sure your drivers are up to date" and "try disabling any resource hogs running in the background, like virus scanners, etc"...

I'd consider looking at the tech boards and reading this post before starting your own there. Paying specific attention to the "how to post" link about using CoH Helper (link in the post may be incorrect, so use this one), and HijackThis when posting in order to maximise our fellow tech minded forumites in ther effort to resolve your problem.

Although; if the issue is network related (especially if it's outside your home network), it may be more difficult to pin down.
