unbelievable lag and game freeze

hey guys

my pc specs are fine and i have a dsl connection.

i have been playing for the last four months with little to no problems.

from yesterday i have been getting game freeze and unplayable lag. the games starts by freezing on the map loading, it always say 32 files left remaining, then i final get in and lose connection due to lag.

would reinstall the game help?

your advice would greatly be appreciated

thanks

I ahve had lag too...tho not the 32 files remaining...try turning off some apps in your task bar (Messengers, any TSR or background programs)...they eat up memory...most times when I have lag I still have a good data transfer rate...its my computer not processing fast enough

done exactly that but still no hope

Full system specs would help including router,OS, AV programs, firewalls etc.

If you are going for a reinstall, don't just reinstall, delete your Gw.dat file and download a completely new one using the -image command.

i have the same problem, installing didnt work for me, i still have major lagg and freezing, ever since friday..get error7 all the time.

i dnt think its gw for me though, as i always get kicked of x-fire and IE never responds..

neverhad this much problem beofre, ive tried..everything and no changes

That means the problem probably comes from your ISP.
