[Steve123MC]

I have the same problem...

"outside": http://www.speedtest.net/result/535419620.png
ingame : 70-100ms
XP ingame: 20ms

today I installed the RTM, before I had the RC, but nothing changed

config:
msi k8n neo4
3500+
msi 7600gs
1gb ram
I use the integrated nforce lan card, I have an old realtek 8139 too, but no difference, bad pings on both.

Come on guys There's really no solution to this problem yet? Should I downgrade to XP and try win7 again later?

 

[Steve123MC]

zond i would suggest dual booting xp x64 and 7 x64 untill someone can come up with a solution.

 

[Zond]

Yeah, I did. It feels so weird to go back to xp after all the fantastic featured of 7

running windows 7 rc. 64bit. no problems on ping.

 

[Zond]

So it's gotta be something within the Windows 7 RTM?

im not sure I see some people have problems with gaming on both the rtm and rc and some people have no problems at all :/ not sure what it could be? maybe a driver problem maybe not a good one has been released yet? maybe just a unknown program or something running without us knowing, I really don't know but its really stressing..knowing that on xp and vista I get much lower pings but for some unknown reason ping is high in 7 pretty much one of the only flaws I have noticed in 7 would be this..runs much better than vista much faster...better looks (to me atleast) and just a better interface..less ram usage etc..I just wish I knew how to solve this problem I was planing on buying 7 home premium when it came out if the preformance was good which it is but this ping problem has changed my mind on buying it intill their is a solution.

Part 1.
Goto start menu>right click Computer>Manage>Services and Applications>Services then search for Multimedia Class Scheduler.
Switch startup type to Disabled. (Startup type: "Manual" does not work)

Part 2.
Goto start menu type Regedit in search push enter then locate

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Audiosrv\DependOnService
Right click Modify and remove MMCSS from the list then click ok.

Reboot.

Didn't work for me.

In Unreal Tournament my ping was 46 in XP, now is 78, almost double, and i don't understand what is the reason for this, in Speedtest.net - The Global Broadband Speed Test ping is the same as before
