R34P3R 18 Posted February 20, 2016 Report Share Posted February 20, 2016 Hey guys how's it going :) I have this issue of lag spikes every 7-10 seconds... I had asked Finny about it, but he suggested that it might be an internet connection problem... I checked it out with 3 other laptops around the house and there doesn't seem to be any sign of lag whatsoever (let alone a spike). This spike lasts for about 2 seconds and my screen freezes while I become Connection Interrupted (My ping is 999), then it restores itself. I have scanned for viruses (found nothing), malware (found nothing), adware (found nothing). I'm running Windows 8.1 Pro. All other games I play online work just fine... No lag or anything... So what could be the problem? I tried switching between the integrated graphics and Nvidia which only made it worse. Generally if I let my FPS go to the maximum I get around 250FPS (I limit it to 60FPS). Either way still I get spikes. My CoD4 is cracked (non-steam version) All help rendered will be deeply appreciated. This is driving me crazy Regards R34P3R Quote http://i.imgur.com/PZ8uP2U.gif http://cache.www.gametracker.com/server_info/188.165.215.144:1280/b_350_20_5A6C3E_383F2D_D2E1B5_2E3226.png Things that are said to enchant, may deceive Son's of Anarchy: Fear the R34P3R PS The guy under me is a total asshole XD #its_only_a_joke Link to post Share on other sites

Mino 312 Posted February 20, 2016 Report Share Posted February 20, 2016 So, your problem don't seem to come from :- PunkBunster because it is not installed- Steam because you launch in-game Try this :- disable skype and teamspeak with cod4- close any open internet tabs If the problem comes from your alienware computer, we need to know what it has and the other 2 not so we'll see the problem. What are u other 2 pc ? On the internet : punkbuster can cause lagspikes in the first 15-30 during checks. Make sure PB is up to date. http://www.evenbalance.com/index.php?page=dl-cod4.php The yellow lag spikes are for video syncing up with the game server.Red spikes in the green would be indicative of having some sort of connection problems.Are you running any chat program in the background, xfire, teamspeak, ventrilo? in game console~ before joining game /pb_system 0/pb_security 0Create a file 'pbcl.cfg' in PB:(un-hide hidden folders Tools folder options) Windows 7 PB location is:C:UsersyournameAppDataLocalPunkBusterCOD4CODEpb_sleep 500pb_security 0pb_system 0Explanantion:PB_Security [0=no, 1=yes]When set to 0, PunkBuster will accept all "update" files without verifying that they are authentic; the default is 1 which should not normally be changed except for LAN environments where there is no Internet Access and/or you fully trust the Servers you are connecting toPB_Sleep [Period]Holds the period of time (milliseconds) that PunkBuster "sleeps" between processing cycles; the default is 60; lower numbers will cause PunkBuster to process events more times each second which also has the effect of increasing the bandwidth used by PunkBuster. 500 ms is the maximum allowed.PB_System [0/1]PB can conflict with other software on some systems due to vigorous memory scanning; Changing this setting may reduce or eliminate conflicts if you have problems on your system; this setting can only be changed before connecting to a server EDIT : it appears to come from your mouse.

Badass 821 Posted February 20, 2016 Report Share Posted February 20, 2016 Maybe download pingplotter and check where they come from. I have also internet troubles since 2 to 3 weeks. Very annoying, specially if my provider doesnt do anythin. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

For me it was the server hosting problem (I told you ^^). I'm shifting the machine so now I can play with no lag whatsoever :D ----------------------------------------------- As for the rest I thank you all for your input :) Quote http://i.imgur.com/PZ8uP2U.gif http://cache.www.gametracker.com/server_info/188.165.215.144:1280/b_350_20_5A6C3E_383F2D_D2E1B5_2E3226.png Things that are said to enchant, may deceive Son's of Anarchy: Fear the R34P3R PS The guy under me is a total asshole XD #its_only_a_joke Link to post Share on other sites
Mrozy 391 Posted February 29, 2016 Report Share Posted February 29, 2016 Can specify the full computer specification? From my experience everything can cause lag spikes. Try the following solutions:- Remove pb folder from cod4 directory. You can easily install it using this: http://www.cfgfactory.com/downloads/show/53d8eb3f57679- Open task manager and kill tasks, which use your hard drive most.- Defrag your hdd (in search: "Defragmentation and disk optimization")- Update your graphics driver- Connect other hard drive to your pc/laptop, your hdd just may be damaged Substanz likes this Quote http://csgo-stats.com/mrozy/graphic.png Link to post Share on other sites
