You know what, now that I think of it, that's exactly the type of lag I'm experiencing. When I go into an erode server it will lag a lot for me but normally I'm too distracted to care about the lag because of how much fun I'm having, but there was always a noticeable lag compared to servers that weren't running erode. Now however, going between erode and non erode servers makes no difference. It's the exact same crappy lag that happens when erode is on, even when it's off. The same way it lags a couple seconds after you load in etc. It's like the servers I'm playing in may be set to erode but isn't deforming the ground at all because the setting is at 0 or something. It doesn't make sense tho because it should only lag when it's actually changing the ground no? Some servers are fine and others with the same track and same amount of riders will lag like crazy. Even tho they both don't have erode on

If it's only happening online try lowering your model texture detail setting. Could just be too many skins using up your texture memory.

It is doing the same thing online/offline, but only since Erode got added to the game.

The erode stuff is only activated when the erode setting is more than 0.

Maybe it was something affecting windows for awhile that messed with a few people. I'm not experiencing the problem anymore, although I also didn't change a thing so there's no reason I can think of as to why the problem went away.

Did you ever try disabling any services? Stuff like Windows search updating can really bog down your system.

So JLV, im guessing each service shows a pid before its description, Is a pid a usage metre ? Cause im unsure on what to disable.

I did not. I just got on one day and no lag. I didn't manually change anything anyway.

PID is the process ID. I'd try stopping Windows Search first. Building the search index could easily slow down your system. You'll obviously want to turn it back on if you want to use Windows Search.

There's a pretty good article here about using task manager to show how much cpu/memory/io each process is using.
