i get huge lagspikes

[YourSister]

well, my clan knows it.. since around 1 year i have big lagspikes. This is not allowing me to play decently. More infos:

It never happened in the previous years,
I already tried to reinstall the game, reset cfg and so on
My game fps are not dropping under 900
The spikes happen every 2 minutes. I see everyone ghost, everyone ping become around 300 and then "lag" and usually i just get shooted from nowhere and die. After 2 or 3 seconds the game returns to normality.
it happens in all modes, with all weapons, and so on
i don't have spikes in other games
monitoring my net, i didnt notice any peak of usage

i thanx in anticipation everyone who will help me!

Could it be something to do with your network drivers? Try updating/reinstalling.

Also, try playing using an ethernet cable to see if it's just bad wifi reception.

[YourSister]

its my desktop pc and i use the cable, thats why its strange... i will try with the drivers

[DrauL]

Any other programs in the background?
uTorrent? TS3? IRC?

Try turning every other program in the background off and then testing the lag in AC.

[YourSister]

none of these programs run when i have the spikes, it must be some windows service, i will also try to play from another account, idk what to do

ping?.... or pj ?

[ExodusS]

^usually it's PJ's, then pings are turning red a sec or two before you get disconnected or before it comes back to normal.

[Krayce]

Yeah, I had the same problems...
...it's only about PJ's!
It was a driver problem (I updated it and that's works fine for me);
Anyway, try also to find one solution here (dedicated to Windows OS): http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/...s.10).aspx
Instead of installing some softwares of "Booster" or "Optimization".

/vsync 1

[Artemis]

Task Manager > Click Network so it shows which is using highest network amount.
Keep this open until when the lag spike happens alt + tab and see what it is. Tricky, but worth a try.

[ExodusS]

It also could be an overheat problem, I only get overheats when I'm playing AC without maxing my FPS and when I play RotMG (flash, uh).

[PhaNtom]

This happened for me when I renamed the file openal32_RemoveThisPartToUseOpenAL-Soft.dll to openal32.dll, when I changed it back the problem went away...

Been happening to me as well sir, IDK or have an idea as well, but I have not been hard wired to my comp in a spell , im just assuming it's a non- wi-fi connection , and if that is the case im screwed.

Net usage (the blue line). AC running with spikes. Looks like its not a network problem



Processes. The blue lines is not important, just the maximum cpu that it can be used. 100% is default.




HD usage


HD usage without AC


it looks like my disk is not working well

[Million]

Still no spikes without Avira ? And if you use Avast for example does it spike ?

[Luc@s]

turn off avira
disable search indexing

Ok, sry my late.

lets try - 3 steps

1) Remove cacaoweb.exe (plugin - megacubo, firefox, etc.)
2) Change your safe solution - install (www.zonealarm.com/security/en-us/anti-virus-spyware-free-download.htm) and remove Avira
3) Open ZoneAlarm and turn on "Game Mode"

Please report the results

* Processor, video card, lan card, in overheat?

[YourSister]

removing avira solved the spikes problem. i can't just stay without antivirus anyway.. so i installed avast. got some spikes but less then with avira. i will try with the "gaming mode"
