This is my lag:
really can't figure out what it is. I've tried everything, every single test u can do.
Can't play worms anymore until my pc lag is fixed, it lags even if i surf the web... it's all f@#!ed up god damnit.
PORCODIOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
That is almost exactly what my lag looks like and I have been trying to fix it for the past year and a half... I say almost because my freezes aren't as long as yours.. no solution has worked.. my internet doesn't lag like yours does. if you find a solution let me know
The problem is that i've never had this huge lag.
Well, some time ago i think i had a VERY little lag like this, it caused me playing like shit, ask avirex i kept blaming my pc for my fails and i honestly can't tell for sure if it was me or these lags. After i uninstalled px and rubberworm the situation was better tho.
Now it's incredible huge, i'm afraid i'm having some hardware problems, probably the hard disk or the mobo. Today i will format everything and if this doesn't help ill just bring my pc to assistance.
Ive had screenlags for the past couple of months now - mainly in rope and bungee games. My lags are might caused by px which i installed just about a week before the lag started. I tried deleting px, but the game still lags (not sure if i had deleted it all right tho). I made a copy of worms folder before installing px, but the lags are the same. Maybe i have hardware problems too, but for now ive only noticed problems with worms.
Formating the harddisk and downloading less porn should help you out
installing the 3.7.0.0 update should help you out
If that's true, it will be great to have shy, and o back!
there's a new update out?
edit: installed. will try eventually, didn't bring my external kb from college with me on break :X

Didn't fix the lags.
it seems i'm having problems with my hard disk.
shyguy try "hdtune", run the benchmark then take a look in the "health" section. if the health satatus is "warning" you probably have my same problem: need to change hard disk.
shy has a brand new laptop...
the only thing he needs to change is the laptop...
i told him what to do, but too puto.

what renderer do you use from Advanced Settings?
your post is not informative.
yeah shy, you f@#!in dink, in the options (advanced options i believe) screen before you sign onto wnet, there are things you can change, and mess around with that can help improve your gameplay, i would bet in your case you need to tweak your directx stuff...
wtf did you think, you just update this patch and your ready to go? you lazy f@#!!! start putting in effort to come back!! i dont even think you want it!! I need you to want it!! i need you back to w:a!! i need to drive you f@#!ing bat shit crazy in a game of elite like the old days!! come on baby!!
Yeah, the new renderer are awesome, made my already smooth w:a even more smooth. Feels perfect now to rope.
I don't see these render options and hdtune things.. I went to the advanced options after clicking the bottom left square in the opening menu, correct? I'm a computer noob.. where do I look?
hdtune is just a software you can download to check your hard disk health. nothing related to worms.
by the way: i've bougth a SSD disk (made myself a christmas gift) and now everything is so f@#!ing smooth i can play 3 games in the same time without having lags.
ill be back soon, i just need to install wa.

Try some of the others for the renderer, like Direct3D 9 (shader)
tried every drop down option, the lags remain for them all

I have warning as well. what should I do?
I guess your HD was damaged when it was delivered to you/shop/manufactor, it happens quite often and you should try to get a refund/replacement. It's a new one right? Damaged HD sectors is #1 problem in the shop I used to visit. :)

- Open the "Computer" window
- Right-click on the drive in question, select Properties
- Select the "Tools" tab
- Click "Check now..." under Error-checking
- Check both options.
*You may ask you to restart. **edit, forgot some steps; fixed.
Also, if you an Intel processor, have you tried disabling Intel SpeedStep and/or C-States in the bios? If someone already suggested this then nvm, I couldn't find Shy's old thread.
chkdsk C: /R /F to fix bad clusters
or there's software such as hdd regenerator
Perhaps running WA (CD image and installation) on a RAM disk could remove the lags up as well?
Just a suggestion, please correct me if I'm wrong... but I used to have much success in speeding up some programs by running them on a RAM disk. Never tried it on WA though
shy, do like me, buy a SSD and it is all good, it is really a nice stuff, makes ur computer much faster, everything runs faster.
and dont come to say u dont have money for that, u f@#!ing american slave.
I think his Laptop is a new one so he should get a replacement/refund, warranty of like 2 years I guess?
it's a year and a half old.
I did the disk cleanup.
I don't know what an SSD is.. i dont wanna go out and buy one.. i'm scared!

no way, im already getting a terabyte external for christmas.. can I do anything with an external?
You can try and install W:A on the external, could maybe fix it if your W:A installment on the internal is in the bad sectors.
Btw, would be cool to play with you sometime again, I am back *gasp*!
hopefully, because it's unclear how it would work while the other HDD is getting fails.
it's always that when a HDD meets a bad cluster, it gets stuck in it until it goes out. Which means the HDD cannot perform multiple operations anymore while it's dealing with a bad sector. Which means system hang-ups at worst. Which can affect W:A even on an external HDD
Barman actually fixed my lags after a long and frustrating journey. I'm using some kind of virtual harddrive with worms on it.. problem is, worms gets deleted every time I turn off my computer and I need to install it on the virtual HD every time. I may just try installing worms on the external terabyte I got for christmas?
