Is her laptop wireless switched off when she is wired? If not make sure it is. Also, when does this happen? Is there a pattern? For example does it only happen when she is gaming, or doing certain things? I very much doubt it will be a graphics card issue. Yes, I switch off wireless when I'm wired. The only pattern I really notice is that my ping will be okay until I go in game. As soon as I connect to the server, my ping goes up. In the past, I could play with a higher than normal ping but I can't play with the jittery lag that I have now. I also notice that Bama's ping will spike if I am web browsing while he's in game.

BB thx for the info. Reference your second point. That is totally normal, because you are both using the internet at the same time. The first point is more interesting, and worth focusing your attention on. First go into the game menu, and choose to optimise your settings. The game will automatically change your setting to match your hardware. One specific thing to look at is the resolution of of graphics within the game. drop the number X number down, and see if that helps. Also make sure sync every frame is off. Also turn from trilinear to bilinear. Then play the game to see if these make a difference. If not, I would recommend uninstalling the game (try it on your machine first, then Bama's) and re-installing. This would be a low cost check, before we look further. Then if that doesn't work we need to uninstall and re-install your network card driver. Because yours will be part of your motherboard, it will the complete mobo drivers. If that doesn't work we may have to re-install the OS later. If that doesn't work we are looking at hardware issue elsewhere on your network. Now I'm really sorry but I won't be able to work on this for a while. I'm working heavily of the clan's new website, hopefully to have it up and running for next week (fingers crossed). I will then also need to troubleshoot any problems people notice. So it could be a couple of weeks before I can come back to this. Try those steps above to keep you ticking over. Oh and also try running cc cleaner on remove old registry entries. If you don't know what you are doing here, ber careful and speak to someone in the clan who does (plenty of them).

We will spend some time implementing your suggestions and see how it works out. We actually were able to play a bit together last night on MW2FT2.. and it wasn't so bad. We will keep working at it until we resolve it. Of course, we understand your commitments Cavey. I appreciate your time thus far. Good luck with the website!!!

If you dont want to take this path how about figuring out on or around the date it started and do a system restore to before that date. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Try running the game with the task manager open then minimize the game and see how many resources you are using. Also I would make sure you didnt disable anything you needed in msconfig. Just a thought-Are you both using the same ports for the game? If you are both on the same network one of you should have a different port setting. Example Modified Target Paths: "F:\Activision\Call of Duty 4 - Modern Warfare\iw3mp.exe" +set net_port 28960 "F:\Activision\Call of Duty 4 - Modern Warfare\iw3mp.exe" +set net_port 28961 "F:\Activision\Call of Duty 4 - Modern Warfare\iw3mp.exe" +set net_port 28962 etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
