Problems with a game (Savage)

[Rick-e]

My mate got a new computer, he downloaded and install Savage, but when he plays it it's really choppy and he's got like a 200+ ping, it's a complete fresh install of XP and using the latest ATI GFX drivers.

It's wierd, because when he plays the game on his old PC it runs fine.

Any suggestions on the problem would be great.

Spankyou.

Right settings?

Comp working fine before?

 

[Rick-e]

He's tried playing with the Savage settings to no avail.

The comp plays other games like Warcraft 3 fine.

He said could it be to do with the fact he plays it on his 17" FlatScreen monitor? I replied no but he wants you to answer. =/

nothing 2 do with the moniter its prob like the game CounterStrike when u 1st install it on ne pc its bit laggy and slow but after 20+ hours it will b fine i shud think >.<

 

[urbanfox]

Define choppy?

You mean ghosting?

 

[Rick-e]

He said it runs "OK" but when a big battle kicks off his ping raises and it's like he's stuck in a lag wall or something.

So it's not the computer it's his ping...

 

[Rick-e]

But it only happens in battles? Anything he can do about it?

Well battles = damage caluclations = movement calculations = etc = more information being sent.

basically

HE NEEDS MOAR INTERNETS!!!111

 

[Rick-e]

It's fine playing on his other PC though, which is on the same Internet connection. His other PC is a much lower spec, too.

Well, there could be several reasons, faulty drivers, the game files are a little bit corrupt, spyware hogging up the resources...
