Lags in games on Windows 7 x64 pro.
Hi.
I'd like to say I find Windows 7 quite good OS but I have one really annoying problem caused by this system.
I have 2 PCs. One with Windows XP and second with Windows 7 x64 Pro. Few days ago I had Windows XP on both and everything was fine. Now I can't even play GTA2 on LAN (one PC through WiFi, one PC through cable) normally because of the lags. I've tried everything. Disabling the MMCSS, disabling sound devices (no influence), adding TcpAckFrequency like described here WoWAcker Main , disabling autotuning (netsh int tcp set global autotuninglevel=disable) and still nothing.
Ping is between 70 and 100+ (sometimes even 150). On Windows XP it was 30 maximum. And that's even before the game, in the network game manager. I think during the game it gets even worse because I get some serious game hang-ups which are obviously network based. If anyone else know different method please inform me. If I won't find any solution I going back to Windows XP.
I'm using ATI Catalyst 9.12 & Realtek HD 2.39 drivers.
Very similar situation occurs in Fifa 10 but besides lags I get disconnected after playing some time.
If the lag problem occured only in Fifa 10 I would think that the CPU is not powerful enough to handle this game on Windows 7 but GTA2 is far less demanding game and situation is very alike while playing it.
Is there any other solution for this situation?
