    Default Lag

    Hey, I was playing RTW yesterday and there was so much lag, I only was playing with about 2,000 or so men (Both sides), and the mouse was jumping all over the place, plus the units were skipping steps, they froze then leaped forward about triple their step.

    What in the name of juptier is going on?!

    P.S.
    I'm running on 32 bit vista, and have 22.5 GB of space free on drive c.

    Maybe it's because your computer's CPU is being used up. When I play RTW and my CPU has too much to do, it tends to lessen the performance.
    Meh.

    Moved to Technical Help.

    You can't stop your processor. If you do your whole machine will not work. hahahaa.

    Your computer must have outdated parts, hence the lag. If you would post your components we can tell for sure.

    What is your cpu? It only uses one core.
    How much ram do you have? Vista, 3gigs is about right.
    What kind of graphics card do you have? How much dedicated graphics memory?
    Have you tried turning off the eyecandy?

    Turn down the graphics settings and play with smaller units if you don't want lag and being, it still might.

    I had it on the Auto detect setting and already use the smallest units, I'll tone down the settings a bit more see if it helps.

    Also turn off all of your background tasks and set RTW to realtime priority. Helps me some, as well as turning off anti aliasing. I don't believe your graphics card can handel it. Other than that I don't believe there is much you can do.

    If you want to turn off most of the background services I'd suggest using IOBIT's Game Booster software - when in 'gaming mode' it will turn off a lot of unwanted Windows services. It's free and I've used it with Windows 7.

    http://www.iobit.com/gamebooster.html

    If you want to turn down some graphics I'd suggest vegetation and buildings first. Vegetation is known as a resource drainer.

    What graphics card do you have amd what resolution are you using?
