Hey guys,
I have 3 major problems with my H2v client. I have done a lot of troubleshooting and have had long in-game discussions with Kills Alone about these issues. We couldn't find an answer, so I decided to post here.
Anyway, I am experiencing a very weird lag. The game will run smoothly at 200FPS, and at random points during a match, and even in the main menus, it will lag. It will be running at 200FPS, and every half a second it will jump down to 60FPS, then another half a second it jumps back up to 200FPS, then goes back down to 60FPS. This will go on for about 20 seconds and usually does this about 2 - 4 times a match. After the 20 seconds, It resumes a smooth 200FPS. I have tried everything. Cleaned dust of my PC, downloaded Razor Gaming Booster and changed my desktop appearance to best performance.
Second, random crashes. I have noticed they have been occurring when there is a lot of chatter going on in the chatbox. Earlier on, I was playing with Kills Alone. During our discussion, I crashed 2 times in a span of 5 minutes. This was when other players joined into the discussion. I am thinking the problem is caused by my lack of RAM.
Lastly, my GFWL will randomly disconnect. My NAT type is always Moderate. I have overridden my GFWL port and set it to 10,000. No difference. I have allowed GFWL through my Firewall which didn't change anything.
These errors do not ever happen on my other GFWL games. The only problem that does occur is the random disconnection from GFWL. I have also restarted my OS several times in the past year and during those times I never had these problems (except for the GFWL disconnecting). I am also trying to capture a video of the lag but my DXtory is giving me trouble right now...
NOTE: My PC is outdated. Ordering a new PC tomorrow anyway but won't arrive for a week. Here is my dxdiag if it's needed.
