Warcraft III : Very Troublesome Gaming

[0peration]

So I just installed Windows 7 Home Premium. Very nice so far, but can't seem to play Warcraft III, without any lag. Its very choppy, very slow, and on and off playing. My Internet speed isn't too bad = 3Mb/768upload. I used to play on Windows XP/ 1mb/370upload speed and it was fine. But its just gotten worse since I've installed Windows 7.

Can anyone give me some advice on how I can fix this problem?

Thanks.

Hi. Sure. Install the latest driver from NVIDIA's website for your card.

Not helping, improves a little but very laggy..?

is it my firewall or could it be anything else?

My IE is fast, I'm using a GIGABYTE WIRELESS CARD 802.5/54MBPS

It could be your antivirus, especially if it's AVG. Uninstall to test. Disabling will have no effect.

I used to have MCafee, but unistalled, and reformated whole PC cause of it.

So I don't have any supplementary Anti virus's on my computer

Type system information in the start menu search box then hit enter. Ctrl+S on the screen that opens. Rar or zip the saved file and attach to a post using the paperclip. Maybe I can see something that is causing poor performance.

Which firewall are you running?

 

[0peration]

JUST WINDOWS DEFENDER.

Do i have to download a program to .rar or zip a file?

Type services.msc into the start menu search box and hit enter. Disable

NVIDIA Stereoscopic 3D Driver Service

Go to the start menu, all programs, startup folder and delete both Creative shortcuts.

Install the latest video card driver from NVIDIA's site because you're currently running 9/28/09. There is a new one just now, today.

Reboot and then play a game to see how it is.

Its a tad better, but its very pausing while in game, I still lag here and there.. is it my firewall? or security settings? cause this didnt happen with XP with 1MBps, and there is delay between movement.

-Nevermind, its acting about the same like before. Its not gfx problem though cause its fine during singleplayer. Just multiplayer..

 

[torrentg]

Oh you're saying that it only is lagging when playing online and fine for offline games?

Then yes, it is your firewall causing it. Completely uninstall it to test.

Well my firewall is only Windows Firewall at this point, and its turned off. Same results.

I use a wireless card, and the signal is 5 bars.. very strong.. Idk whats wrong..

Wireless card running through a router, possible port issues? I don't think I've heard of issues with battle.net before, but maybe it's worth a look?

My downloads are fast, its just I can't play multiplayer without any lag or delay. And other players say i'm lagging.

Set the preamble on the router to short. Then Beacon Interval to 500. Test.
