This is the first time i played Live For Speed in 3 years.. I last had it on my dads computer and it worked fine..
I now have it on my laptop and it lags like hell and i struggle to connect to servers..
Any way to fix this..

btw this is my first thread

Wireless?

Quote from DevilDare :

Wireless?

yes..
my laptop picks up signal from a modem so yes

Wireless connection means highier lag, nothing strange, I guess that problem is in your internet connection.

Try to play lfs online (with wireless) when you know that there are less people connectet to The Internet That could result in lower ping and highier stability... i must do the same with my modem from T-Mobile ... really crappy connection sometimes

I know what are you talking about . I was second on race with 12 people, 4/5 laps when my father started downloading something.... i got kicked out of server and I was like :wtf2:

EDIT: NotAnIllusion: we have one of those 3g dongles

By modem and wireless, do you mean you're using one of those 3g dongles? Those can be a real PITA. If you're on normal cable/DSL broadband with a wireless access point, you could try the following.

- Login to the AP, disable all power saving features and enable all signal boosting features you find.

- If you have XP, get http://www.netstumbler.com/
- If you have Vista or W7, get http://www.vistumbler.net/

Run the program and you'll get a list of all wireless access points in range (of interefering with your signal). What you want to do is check whether your wireless channel overlaps with other people's. Pick a channel that overlaps with the least, and apply the change on your access point.

You can see channel overlaps here: http://www.draytek.co.uk/support/kb_vigor_wlanchannels.html

Pic 1: you can see the channels other signals are using, I'm on channel 1 here.
Pic 2: where I'd change my router/access point's channel.
