Conection lag

[Jester#132]

Might be a stupid question, but do you have shaders enabled? if so, turn them OFF, they make me get a bad frame rate, so maybe that's what your problem is...

No Stickerz, his graphics card should be able to run the game at high(est) graphics without issue's, updating your drivers might work, other than that I wouldn't know..
(Also I don't even know why Im trying to help you Jasper after you tried to get ME to buy mxsim for you, cause I still don't have any money on my bank account, thanks bro.. )

Oh ok my bad, i didn't even bother to check the specs on it. Will make sure to do that next time for sure=/

I am having the same problem, I have 6gb ram, plenty of storage, a gtx 460, 19 meg of download speed and 4.4 meg of upload speed and i lag like crazy online. i cant think of any way to make it run clean. my connection is almost 10 times faster than a friend who plays but he has no lag and i do.

Here my driver info

[Stickerz]

It know it shouldn't matter with your graphics card, but try turning ground mipmaps and framebuffer objects off and see if that helps...=/

Can you play these demos smoothly?

I'd also lower the model texture detail to 9 and both geometric detail settings to 50.

[jasper125]

still cant play online without lagg it happens 2 or three times a race about 20 seconds
Ground Geometric Detail 25,00
Ground texture level 10,00
Shaders Off
Model Texture 5

With graphics max out it lags a litlle with some little tune ups it ran fine i did model texture 7 ground texture 50 no shaders and 128x128 ground resolution

So now it's running smoothly, but you still get occasional freezes right? I'd open a task manager window and watch for something to spike to 100% CPU every once in a while and disable it.

Did you try raising the priority level for the game?

[jasper125]

It doesnt go to 100% cpu it runs mxs online stable at 48 or 49 % but when it start lagging it goes to 52 % and when it stops it goes back to 48 or 49%. Im getting tired off this

[Stickerz]

He's saying look at the little chart up top, not just MXS, anything taking up a majority of the processer, and everything combined using 100% of it would make MXS lag a lot.

[jasper125]

Im looking at every thing combined and that runs at 48%

[Stickerz]

I had a problem before where i would get a massively low frame rate every half hour or so, the application was called "presentationfontcache.exe", disabled it, and boom, everything worked better. when MXS lags, alt + tab out and go into task manager and look at the chart and if there's a spike, try and figure out what it is, if there is no spike, IDK=/

[jasper125]

i couldnt see anything pop up while it was lagging only mxs was using 48% cpu i also tried setting the priority higher but that didn't help two
