Skype Call Lag

Post by Salmon Sam »

lag problem here..
when I get in a skype call in TT, i get a whole lot of lag..enough to where i can't tell whats happening.
i've noticed PSL players and others don't get any lag during a skype call.
i'm running Windows XP Pro with .5 GB of RAM. (i'll give more info when i get back to my computer)

also, speaking of lag, for several weeks now i get short periods of terrible lag, no matter what server i'm in. it lasts for 15-30 seconds and often goes away right as someone scores a goal or i dive. when the "lag bomb" is over, there is no noticeable change in my ping previous to the lag bomb. it happens 2 to 3 times a game usually.

any help?

Are you on wireless, or wired in via ethernet?

I get lagbombs often when I foolishly try to use my wifi for TT. I've also had it happen when I don't have my cable seated in the port right.

Salmon, I had the exact same problem on my laptop. It is not lag, but a very low frames per second which is caused probably by our graphis card and perhaps your processor or RAM. My problem was simple. The graphics card folder/drivers were not installed. My frames went from 15-30 to over 100 once I installed them. The source of your problem may be different. Talk to me on skype bout it, and put your graphics card specs on this thread.

well you're not online... :P

i don't think it's FPS, becuase i get the lag symbol when it happens. also the lag symbol doesn't go away even though i can still move.

You don't actually have a graphics card. Its a chip built into the motherboard. You wont be able to play with skype with no graphics card. BUT... you are on a desktop computer, and I think those have graphic card slots unlike laptops/notebooks. I am not sure about that though. A good graphics card would probably run you around 100, well good enough to play TT and run skype that is.
