"lag" in online games with Windows 7

@Thread Creator - thanks heaps, that little registry fix looks like it might solve my l4d/2 problems, and the serious stuttering I get in Company of Heroes.

Thanks, I'll try it out!

I reported the bug to microsoft and linked them to this thread. Not hoping for much but it surely can't hurt.

Hope they fix it soon

I guess i lied in one of my posts.. I went back to XP and used onboard sound and my hd4650, and the graphics/lag are flawless.... I just can't use my sound blaster card and have the graphics going at the same time without experience considerable FPS drop and cpu usage.

yep well like I said before I went back to XP 32 bit and with the new mobo the lagging was just as bad as win 7 64 bit. I have now disable onboard sound and is using a usb headphones which cured the whole problem. Now thanks to whatever problem Asus's onboard sound has to their network driver I have no 5.1/7.1 surround. But I will wait and see if they finally update their sh$t.

I ran this reg hack last night to try and fix the stuttering I was having with multicore rendering in all my valve games...

FIXED!!! It worked flawlessly. Thanks for this fix man. I can now run multicore rendering on with no stuttering.

Also... Im running a E8400@ 3.4 with 4 gig ram.

This fix worked on for my dual core.

Please list the specs of the rest of your system ?

They are listed in the "my system specs" in the lower left hand of my post.

I assume x64 bit?

I had the stuttering issue in both 32 and 64bit.

But currently I am using 64bit.

Damn I wish this bug was fixed by MS. Dying to run win7 at this point to utilize dx10.

Going to give it another try and fiddle some with soundcards + network adapters in the near future
