Problems with new computer-FPS and Ping Fails.

Post by Lolliplop »

Yo guys. I just bought a new computer and started tron. Should work a lot better then before I told myself. My Ping before I bought the computer was like 40-60 in Eu Servers and 130-160 in US. Now I always have 200+ and my FPS that used to be 60 are always around 30 or lower. I have terrible lags all the time and sometimes I cant even chat well.

I changed settings but nothing went better :(

Someone with idea here? :/ :<

Yeah, if you have an Ati or Nvidia go to its settings and change the priority from "Balanced" or "Quality" to "Performance (High Perfomce in the image below!)". The high ping could be related to automatic updates from other installed programs. Open Taskmanager and find out what you don't need.

The control panel looks something like this:

No, the task manager is to help you close applications you dont need. Did you install the drivers for your graphics card? Because it sounds like you didnt. If you did, you can find an exe for the configuration wherever you installed them.
There's a difference between knowing your shit, and knowing you're shit. Grammar does matter.

If this is a new install, you probably have drivers that don't support OpenGL(long story short, it doesn't fit in Microsoft's grand scheme of things). Go to your graphics chip maker's website and get the drivers from there. You should be sorted then.
