Lag!

[MillCzarr]

In-Game:
Lower graphic settings.
Lower the draw distance.
Lower the resolution, and see if you can get a higher refresh rate. (Ex: Some computers give higher refresh rates at lower resolutions, My computer gets a 75Hz at 800x600)

Out of Game:
End unused processes

ok i have it in windowed at 800x600 is that a ok resolution?

[Goth77]

ok i have it in windowed at 800x600 is that a ok resolution?

Yup

[mariohp]

and will these graphic setups to cause me to lag?

Brick FX: Best
Texture Quailty: Best
Particle Quality: High
Shadow Quailty: Best
Lighting Quailty: Low
Physics Quailty: Best (cause of the bricks being on the ground)

Or Do i have to change it to something else

Please reply what i should change graphics to if that makes me lag

and will these graphic setups to cause me to lag?
yes they will

Brick FX: Best
Texture Quailty: Medium or High
Particle Quality: Medium or High
Shadow Quailty: Minimum
Lighting Quailty: Low
Physics Quailty: Low or Medium (cause of the bricks being on the ground)

Ones in bold should be changed to what I said
Also, make sure to check your advanced options. Take off vertex lighting, and basically everything except for dynamic lights (both), sky, decals, precip, and clouds

[mariohp]

is there a way to turn off the shadows?

[Ethan]

You will need to lower settings like Goth77 is saying as your video card sucks, no offense.
And just something, if you have a dual core, 1.6GHz, it's not equal to 3.2GHz.
They run together, and divide the load.

[mariohp]

ok this is what im trying to say 1.(6) + 1.(6) those 2 6s add up to 1.2 so combined with the ones that are now 2.0 make it up to 3.2

[Headcrab Zombie]

Your video card sucks. You can either buy a new one (would probably be wiser to just buy a whole new computer) or turn down your graphic settings

ok this is what im trying to say 1.(6) + 1.(6) those 2 6s add up to 1.2 so combined with the ones that are now 2.0 make it up to 3.2

It doesn't work that way. Computing the power of a multi-core processor is more complicated than just adding up the core speeds

Also, using a public DNS server can make yer internet a bit faster

For web browsing, an extremely negligible amount. For gaming, no. Are you familiar with what a DNS server does?

Take off vertex lighting

Actually, vertex lighting is lower quality, and should therefore be on.
So basically, in Graphics, turn all qualities to minimum, in advanced graphics options, uncheck everything except for vertex lighting, drag the two sliders in there, and the three sliders in particle options all the way down. Then, go to a server with an average amount of bricks, and turn your most preferred options up just high enough that it doesn't lag.

ok i know that my video card sucks but i cant afford getting a new computer

so maybe i will just have to stick with it

[K3k0m@n]

yes, you will have to stick with it untill someone finds an answer.

[Headcrab Zombie]

yes, you will have to stick with it untill someone finds an answer.

The answer has been found. There is no magic 'make my computer amazing for free'
He can either buy a new computer, or turn down his settings.

[K3k0m@n]

oh, nvm then
