OK thats a good FPS rate anything over 30-40 is well playable,
have you tried asking the other PC users in the house to shutdown their PCs for a few minuites,(or just dissconnect from the wireless network) so you can see if its the PC that you are using causing the connection to lagg.
If when the others are shut down all is better then I would think some P2P program (even when closed) is accessing the net from another PC and hogging the bandwith ,
if there is no difference with only the PC with the problem up and running, then it could point to a number of things ,like interference messing with the wireless conn or some processes accessing the net from the same machine. but would give you a place to start from and help to diagnose the prob quicker

ok

Quote from Jakg :

96?????? Thats bloody high - you should only be able to see jumping at 30 or below.

Does the same happen in single player?

it dont happen in single player i won 1st on the STTC track they useing with A1 a lot of them and i won

Quote from SparkyDave :

Faster , Turn on the FPS(frames per second) meter this will give you a number in top corner of the screen when playing LFS

Run LFS and select
Options / Display / Show frame rate (off) (left) (Right) choose left or right and let us know what sort of FPS you are getting when you use your Mums BFs PC both online and offline, if it is low (under 15) Then you and we will be able to tell if you have "lag" or not Low FPS is not and does not cause lag they are completly different things


SD.

my fps are like 96 and under

what els can go worng this week.

mmm it says its borken.

ok jakg i tryied to change the thing to 5 now i found it. and

still the same amount of lag.

tryied the view chnage as well did nothing.

is the team website down?

Quote from dungbeetle :

faster,

Another fairly easy way to get more fps is to change the view.

Try changing the view from in-car to external - you know, the one where you only see the front wheels of your car?

It may not look as nice but try it anyway to see if it smooths things out at all.

It should help because your graphics card no longer has to draw the insides of your car and can put more effort into smoothing out the track and the scenery.

Let us know how you get on .

well do.

well where i just looked i dont get that 0.5

Quote from Jakg :

remove it completely, in Options>Misc>"Limit Frame Rate In Game" = No

While your there, set the "Dynamic LOD Reduction" to something like .5, same for the Dust and User LOD's in Options>Graphics

i canrt see i 5 do u mean like 35 45? what do u mean.

Quote from Jakg :

LFS>Options>Graphics>"Full Size Textures - No" or "Half Size Textures - Yes" depending on what patch your on.

Also, try removing the FPS limited, closing all the open applications and lowering the LOD's

i got fps to 100 setting am on patch u with not test patchs. lowering lods?

Quote from The General Lee :

Keyboard and mouse

but, getting a wheel soon.

same as my settings i have a keyboard and mouse

Quote from Jakg :

And now, to translate into English...

His Mum's BF's PC has:
A Gigabyte mobo
7300GT (Ouch!)
AMD Athlon XP (so Socket A, and no faster than a 3200)

Not quite sure on the rest - either way, try halving the textures

what textures down or up on lfs.

Quote from dungbeetle :

faster,

when you say it's lagging, can you describe in a bit more detail what it looks like?

For example, is it just the other cars on the track which seem to dance around and don't move smoothly, or does the whole picture seem jerky, including the trees, buildings etc. as you drive past them?

If its just the other cars but everything else is smooth then it could be the connection, but if the whole scene is jerky then it could be that frame rates are dropping when there are lots of other cars in the track.

whole picture seem jerky, i even tryied a server with 38 ping.

hes not even got bitlord on and its still laging.

damit thats why i get big lags right.

Quote from Jakg :

BitLord? Sounds like torrenting to me! Aka, bandwidth killing!

even if its not downloading is it still a bandwith killer

I dont know about the other pc well here are bits i know about it. and its only shared with 2 pcs the one i play lfs up at my mums bf pc and the other pc in the same house i have nothing to do with only thing s i know about the other pc is it uses bitlord and he don't play much of online games so. I think my mums bf uses wireless. well they got lots of wireless stuff like mouse keyboard ect.

196 ping on the STCC server high or what.
