[1.7]The game is really laggy now.

[neosdark]

The few games I've played have been quite lag free, it may be a problem with something else, do you clean your downloads folder (or your hard drive in any way) often Dot.Shadow?

[Killar]

I made several games against computer. I had no lag at all (1v1, 2v2, 3v3).
Always defrag your harddrive if you install a game. Especially for the EF patch which is 1GB big.

[Cranialwizard]

I've played many games myself in a 1v1, 2v2, 3v3, even 1 4v4 and have been lag free on my end. Maybe post your specs so we can see what might need upgrading?

[Dann88]

Well I have the lag, but it seem... random, even when against the AI. My settings are mostly medium and none is on ultra.
I'm using a Vaio which has i5 2.4 ghz CPU, geforce with cuda (don't understand what it is but it has some shit like shader 5.0 and so on) and 4 gb of ram.
I'm defraging my hard drive now.

They're posted on the previous page. I do not need an upgrade to play CoH.

I generally keep a very clean computer, free of viruses, but I haven't run a defrag after the patch. I guess I'll do that.

[Blackbishop]

You don't have a SSD instead of a HDD one right? Because if you have a SSD you don't need to defrag it IIRC.

[Dot.Shadow]

No SSD here. I've been thinking about getting one, but they're so expensive!

Anyway, the lag seems to only appear when I play with bots. I had no trouble with lag when I played with Simuz & a bunch of you guys earlier.

[pokoras]

I have the SSD, and the EF game is very laggy since the 1.7.x.x update.
But before it was ok (even with the SSD)...

Unfortunatelly not many people have the same issue (or they are not reading / writing it here)

thx.

[pokoras]

one more thing -
I guess the lagging is not caused as a regular FPS issue... reducing the quality of textutres or graphic details doesnt influence this lagging.
The game starts to lag after few seconds even in a small map (skirmish 1 to 1). There also appears the "Sync error" message when I try to load up the recorded game.
Example: I player Angoville 1 to 1 skirmish. Started lagging in few secs. I finished the game anyway - beated the comp :-) and tried to load upu the record. Unfortunatelly no success. The recored game loads up, but as soon as it starts the msg "Sync error" appears and the units move strange. After a few moves they are just standing not moving. (e.g. no 3rd building etc. and the game ends with no killing the PC oponent)...

can the lag issue be caused by some issue in recording of the game?

(I posted my specs into other topic: playing on notebook Acer Aspire, 6GB, SSD drive, intel core i 7, 3,3GHz... everything run smooth till now, I cant believe the lag might be caused by the low specs...)

thx for any help. I loved EF.

The sync error for replays has been already reported.

In either case, we cannot do anything about the lag because it works fine for some players and it doesn't for others, which means we wouldn't know what it causes it. Does anyone get lag when playing Skirmishes or PvP?

Guys ( developers) what did you do with the last patch really?you must have messed up something!reading these comments i had to write something too...I have the same problem, my brother also and one of my friend,we all have the same problem with the game after the last patch, game is just lagging!We all have different cpus so it just cant be coincidence..

[neox88]

All pcs and laptop are (Hdd DEFRAGMENTED,checked for errors,scanned for viruses and malwares,optimized everything with auslogics,cleaned disk etc.)
All on Windows 7 - 64bit.
my cpu specs:
1 PC : AMD Phenom II quad @ 3.5 Ghz , 8gb ram ddr3, Ati Radeon 6850 1GB,
2 PC : AMD Athlon X2 dual @ 2.2 Ghz , 3gb ram ddr2, Ati x1950 Pro 512Mb,
3 Laptop: Intel Dual core @ 1.7 Ghz, 4 gb Ram ddr3, NVIDIA® GeForce® G 210M with 512MB GDDR3,

Settings for game on all pc and laptop are from Medium to low, tried also everything on low.
Everything worked well before the patch 1.7, after the patch it started lagging after playing the game for about 5 min, me and my brother against 2 A.I. skirmish on many maps, I tried also 1on1 skirmish against A.I. on pcs and laptop and lagging started also after 5 min of game, lag is unbearable, I cant play the game anymore cuz its frustrating, it never happened before. Please dont mention defragmenting anymore cuz its nonsense, you something messed up with the last patch, you could just admit it. try to fix it, thanks.

Hi, thx. for the reply. I just mentioned, if the two issues can't be influenced together. That maybe the lagging somehow is corresponding with a non-working recording during the game, and therefore also the "sync error" on the rec. replay screen appears. Couldn't it be possible?

Because reducing details, defragmenting, etc. really don't help - I am persuaded that it is not caused by low PC specs (more of us with the lagging issues actually didn't have old craps but AFAIK a pretty new hi-specs machines - desktops or even hi-tech notebooks).

Thx.

Have you tried turning off V-Sync in the launcher?

[Blackbishop]

It seems than playing vs AI makes your games laggy, you should try PvP .

You forgot to say please .

Seriously. you should at least upload the replay of such game and the log files from that match. Please upload every log inside the LogFiles folder on CoH folder on Documents that belong to the match as well.

But as I said before, I'm not sure how easily would be to "fix" this, because not everyone has the same problem and at every patch a lot of people come and report lag from the new patch.

EDIT:
Jojo will work on this, but as far as he could tell the code doesn't have too many additions since 1.6. So this problem was probably already there for a while but you just recently got it.

lol, I forgot to say please as well XD.
