How to Reduce lagg.

[Rick.]

Does it help if you go out and buy 2GB For your Computer and open it up and put it in there and install it?

(lol)

Uh, it'll give a slight FPS boost.

Little question.. I used to have a strict 100-200 (top) ping while playing on the server. For some reason though my ping jumps from 100 to 300 to 400 to 250 145 and so on and so fourth, while playing there are sometimes "bursts" of lag while I'm just driving around where the game acts slow and my ping skyrockets +200 (causing it to become 300-400). Any way to help prevent this? :/

Well, do you have any programs running in the background? When you say game acts slow, you mean lag or like, connection lag?
Do you use wireless internet?

Most of the time I do not have programs running in the background, I try to close firefox before going ingame to solve the problem. The only programs that would be running would be NOD32, TS. I'm pretty sure it's game lag. And yes.

Any specific areas where this happens?I had a similar problem with lag when I approach near LS my ping would rocket up to 600ms
If this is your type of problem contact your operator if you have a closed port,Maybe torrent in taskbar or something?Do F5 InGame and take screen so we can see...

I've fixed it by reconnecting all the router cables....I've done it by a mad mans inspiration ripping all the cables out

What do you mean by contacting my operator and getting my ports not closed? O.o but yes, I do not lag when, for example, just driving around a deserted area as well as interiors. As soon as I step out of the interior though and there's a lot of people and cars I lag badly and my ping skyrockets +100-200 ping. Torrent in taskbar? Whats that? :o

So many problems with lagg, im losing my mind, oh noes one brain cell gone .

When having lagg, first check the folowing:

- What programs are running ? Close down as many programs as possible, especially if they use your internet connection.

- What is your ping ? If your ping is above 100, you will have lagg no matter what you have in hard- and software. Ping can go up if multiple programs are using your internet, see point 1.

Please note that lagg of players does influence the whole server, so try to keep your ping as low as possible.

And add
New internet connection ; video card ; ram

Yes you have the same problem as I had....
What I meant with the operator support is that you need to ask them if you have a port blocked towards GTA server lolololol
Or try this

Draw Distance = MAX
AA = 3
Resolution = MAX (32-bit)
Visual FX Quality = low

if you have a great graphic card , then yes (you may go ahead and set the "Visual FX Quality" on HIGH ) - IDK if this is connected with this kind of lag

Did you try /fpslimit cmd?

If the bursts of lag only last for a few seconds, then it sounds like FPS lag due to no limiting, but if they last for more then that, then it sounds like overheating (I'm assuming you're still using your laptop).

FPS Lag:

GTA:SA Display Settings
Frame Limiter - On (needed for /fpslimit to work)

/fpslimit
You need to use a program like Fraps, so that you can see your FPS (frames per second) while playing. Basically, evaluate what your FPS averages as during game play, then set /fpslimit to slightly under that number. This is to prevent the lag that occurs when something happens during game play (loading new textures or objects for example), that your computer can't handle at the FPS you were previously on.

Overheating:
To confirm if it's overheating, you'd need to get a program like RivaTuner, so that you can monitor your temperatures, during game play. RivaTuner is quite good for this, because it features an in game display, which can be enabled by tuning the settings.

That wouldn't cause Vince's game to slow down as well, only increase his ping. However, there's a chance of having two different problems that happen occur simultaneously (one affecting FPS, and another affecting ping).

Very good Information, Hope more Information keeps coming.
