Network performance throttling

[nevica]

Hello,

I am having trouble playing games as I experience a lot of rubberbanding (significant lag). My ping and network connection are particularly.

By doing a google search on this issue I found that this problem could be related to network performance throttling (a feature of Win 7 64 bit).

More specifically,

In the registry I should be able to change:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\WindowsNT\CurrentVersion\Multimedia\SystemProfile

And then an entry on the right for 'network performance throttling'

At this position I do not find an entry for network performance throttling.

I should be able to change the value from '10' to '0xFFFFFFFF' for network performance throttling.

How do I add this please? Can I add this to the registry?

Thanks,

Nevica

Please be carefull:

Backup the Registry

Ok lets start:

1: click the start button
2: type in the search bar "regedit"
3: Locate the following path:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\
SOFTWARE\
Microsoft\
WindowsNT\
CurrentVersion\
Multimedia\
SystemProfile

It will look like this in my images. Right click on what is in the image "1" click modify
Then in image "2" it shows a little box and enter in the FFFFFFFF make sure its on hex like shown in mine

Hello,

There is nothing in my right hand pane:

'NetworkThrottlingIndex' and 'Systemresponsiveness' don't exist.

Can I create these from scratch?

Sorry Benjy thought you went offline

 

[benjy206]

I was offline there for a small bit. But I will be going off again now in a few minutes.

If the registry is missing it's not just one he has to add in. There is a few related to that one that he would need to check.

 

[nevica]

Yep, that's what I am asking...

 

[benjy206]

So you don't have that there? Maybe you can try a repair install? http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/3413-repair-install.html

I found the Network Throttling variable in the System Profile. I have changed it from 10 to FFFFFFFFF and so far so good. Absolutely no rubberbanding. I need to test for a bit more though but its looking hopeful.

 

[benjy206]

Ok good post back and let me know

 

[benjy206]

Also one more thing did you make sure it was hexadecimal instead of decimal?

 

[nevica]

yes

 

[benjy206]

Good is it working out for you ok?

 

[nevica]

So far, no rubberbanding. But lately BF3 has developed awful graphics problems. What looks like triangles are appearing in screen in multiplayer. It usually happens after a few minutes game play and not every game.

I don't know how do describe what is happening but one vertex of the triangle is in the centre of the screen (many triangles of different sizes) and and the other two vertices of ALL of the triangles start somewhere else. It's as if the graphics card isn't working properly. I have turned down settings in the NVidia control panel but the problem still continues. It has only recently started doing this and for no reason as I have made no changes to the computer. Could it be he graphics card dying?

Any ideas what might be going on.

 

[benjy206]

Hmm and was it doing this before?

Maybe it could be the registry change? You could try to revert back to the other setting within the registry as a test?

If you want to do that let me know and I will tell you what to put in.

 

[nevica]

Yes, the graphics problem existed before the Network Throttling change.

 

[benjy206]

Try changing the cable on it first of all.

Then check driver for the graphic card

 

[nevica]

Which cable do you mean? Driver is the latest!
