Hi all,

My quake has been laggy for the last couple of years... Yes years..

I have no idea why and have looked through all of this site and most of google for answers. The weird thing is that my ping tends to be pretty stable (acording to the game) but it doesn't register hits. I have been through a few isp's, both cable and adsl but none seem to change anything.

My setup on quake 3 was: rate 25000, maxpackets 125, displayrefresh 120, smoothclients 1.

I overclocked my mouse to 1000hz using the hidusbf tool.

I am not very technical with pc, in particular on the hardware side.

As such, I wondered if anybody has any suggestions on where I might be going wrong. Could it be router settings? Or could it be settings on my pc/ hardware problems? I have no idea. But I am almost ready to buy a new pc to try and fix it!

Please save me money and time failing at quake!

Regards

James

ps thanks again to people who contributed to my new mouse post. I am further along with my design and am closer towards having a working prototype! Exciting times!
