Hi and welcome to the forums

Are you talking about internet lag, or FPS performance? I'm guessing the latter, its just confusing because the word "lag" normally refers to slow or laggy internet connection, like when trying to play LFS with P2P running in background.

As I think you mean FPS performance;
Are your directX and nvidia drivers up to date?
Have you tried changing/reducing the graphics setting in LFS and/or your windows control panel?
Do you have AA & AF enabled? you could try reducing.
Check your LFS resolution, try a lower res?

Try switching off as many other programs/running processes as you can, does this make a difference?

Did you install to a new folder location? or did you install over your original LFS?
If you manually (external to lfs) downloaded skins or texture packs, remove them and retest

Good luck

Thx for reply , i'll try all of your idea's later , but yea it's a FPS thing , Do you have msn , we could fix this problem easier , if you do please PM me , thx !!

i have a slightly different issue... i consistently lag on every server i play on but its not FPS lag. im constantly running between 80 and 100fps even at max graphics but every 5-10 seconds i see the "lag" icons where the cars should be. and depending on what server im on i will get spectated for this rather quickly.

please help
here are my specs

amd sempron 2.8Ghz processor
1g ddr2 ram
ati radeon 4550 gfx
sc3000 sound card
6mb internet
D-Link gaming router 10/100mb

Are you aware of the fact that there are not many US/Canadian servers available to play on?

Most servers are based in Europe so 6 Mb Internet does not say much. Select a server with low ping.

it does not matter which server i play on. i usually play on redline racing and the ping there is 50-75 for me
