If you're running on Windows Vista Aero, change it to Vista basics and see if the games runs any better. Also, if you have the sidebar out, exit out of it as well...

Hmmmmmmmmmmm I see.............. Thank you I did have the sidebar out so maybe that's why.

Thanks for the sidebar advice.
I guess it's also map lag as well; I don't lag as much in Eld as I do in Dark Passage I or Abyss, surprisingly. Yesterday I lagged hell in Eld and was fine in Dark Passage and Abyss XD

Maps definitely has something to do with the lag. For me I'm fine in dungeons (-holds on to abyss/trumpy remains-) but I can't handle CP or AEW for some reason...

the network thing:
it looks like what you were talking about is your network speed. 54Mbps is G i think. that won't matter as long as what's being transfered to your computer over the network doesn't require something faster than that. fiesta doesn't so that's ok.

but if it's a bad connection the speed shown can still be the same but it'll still cause lag and you can get dced a lot.


the 100Mbps is either wireless N or ethernet i think.

you say the problem is waves of lag with about 2 seconds in between where the screen moves. if the screen is frozen then that's graphic. if by nothing moving you just mean people not moving and stuff but you cna still see (for example) shrooms swaying or you cna walk then that's your connection most likely.

if it's the first thing and you know your video card and everything is high enough to run fiesta then try making sure your drivers are up to date and everything.

Its probably just the connection. I have wireless on my good computer and when i tried running most of my games, I would experience a like a 2 second lag in which the screen would pause then fast forward to catch up to normal game speed. There shouldnt be anything wrong with your computer, just that any game no matter what the reqs, shouldn't be played under wireless conditions. There will always be lag with wireless. When I switched back to using my ethernet cable, all my games ran perfectly smooth. With wireless (54mbs) I had a ping of about 60, but when I switched back to ethernet (100mbs), my ping dropped down to around 20.

wow, ur gonna give urself a concussion with all the -headdesk-s easy up on abusing ur head and the desk... or both might end up broken xD

I used to play on dial-up, so you don't need a superfast connection to be able to play.

I believe it to be your router and laptop. You could try a few things, if your in an area where you don't have to worry about encryption as much, you could change your encryption from 128bit to 64bit. You could also adjust the Firewall setting within your router to put your Laptop in a DMZ (demilitarized zone kinda), this will put your laptop outside of the firewall and makes it vulnerable to malicious incoming requests. As far as your laptop goes, making sure you don't have a bunch of programs requesting to use the network all the time is a key factor. You can run Sandra by SiSoftware and do network tests to see what could be slowing you down and it can tell you what you can turn off to optimize. Defrag, even if it says you don't have to. Most importantly, read up on setting up you Pagefile correctly so you are using your memory to it's full potential and not paging to much info when Fiesta is using 900megs D: .

In the end, it could just be that 54mbs isn't fast enough. It's not for me.

Bleh its prob your connection, i used to have wireless
