Game running very slow

[reaper]

I'm pretty sure my system should handle this game fine:

Athlon64 3500+ 2.2ghz
1gig Crucial Ballistix ram @ 2-2-2-6 timings
XFX geforce 7600gt @ 590/1600
Windows XP sp2

I tried to play just now and I have a horrible lag, like 1 fps jerking during game play. I've turned all the effects down and tried running at 1024x768 and it didn't help much. I had a ping near 100 on the servers I played on so it couldn't be network lag. I'd guess its a driver issue? I can run other FPS games such as Halo at 85 FPS vsync at higher resolutions so I don't understand why I have such lag with this game. Thanks for any help I have NV Forceware 91.31 if that helps solve my problem.

Let me firs assure you that you should be perfectly capable of running the game, so something is wrong.. I bet esteel will have an answer for you within a few hours

That sounds like your graphics driver doesn't work for OpenGL...
Are other OpenGL games running fine? (like Quake3, Doom 3 or ET)
If not, try reinstalling your graphics driver (from http://www.nvidia.com, the one windows update installs doesn't work for OpenGL afaik).

Yes i also think it had something to do with your drivers. I read about the possibility to disable opengl in the drivers, maybe you want to look around in the control panel for such an option too if the tip from KadaverJack did not help.

What about running a local game with letz say 4 or 5 bots? Is it also lagging then?

My and your system should supply quite the same performance, and I can run the game with about 100 to 150fps at standard settings. Either your internet connection is crap, or your computer runs way too much software in the background.

Or you are in big trouble with several of your drivers.

Actually playing campaign runs ok, even with maximum settings but online is extremely bad. I have a 10mb/s connection, 300 something kb/s up and my ping in servers was never above 100. I can do opengl fine but I'll try out some other drivers just in case.

Try running nexuiz in windowedmode and see if any firewall or anything block somehitng but you dont see the message.

There is not difference in playing online or the campaign that might explain FPS drops. Are you sure you are not having packetloss? The PL in the scoreboard. packetloss IS very bad for any game. Are you sometimes seeing a clock being displayed?

I´ve had the same problem that during gameplay there was terrible lags and so the game was unplayable cause of that....

I thought that maybe its my line but i´ve got a 6000K/bits line....

I even drop down all the graphics of the game but it was the same lag problem....

Now i know what it is.... i changed my firewall programm....I tryed the game without firewall and there was no lags....so chaged the firewall prog. and now everything is fine with full graphics.

Sorry for my english......im just a F***ing German.......
