I know, the FPS is still quite low, but reading around and testing my pings, I realised my connection gets owned every 60 seconds. I figured, I'd like to fix that connection issue first, then deal with the FPS lag. After several experiment fixes, from turning off services (WLAN + Wireless autoconfig), using a wireless USB adapter (as opposed to the built-in one), to running dos commands, I've so far found only one solution that serves as a fairly good fix to it. My net however, is still lag spiking every so often where I didn't used to on my desktop. My FPS is still low as hell. By now, I have one last solution left up in my sleeves. If it's not fixed by then, I give. And then it's XP I go. =\ I'm sorry for the confusion I've caused. I -was- just as confused as you are. It's just..
Everytime I posted here to update my progress, typing up detailed records of my experiments in hopes that somebody can suggest me something, I get owned by board server maintenance or me suddenly thinking of something and then rebooting the laptop. lol My lack of updates are totally unintentional -- sorry. ^^;
*edits post to add what I've tried*
This isn't the whole list of stuff I tried, but more the stuff that most people have tried (though it failed for them, I wanted to try it anyway) and also stuff I've tried whose results were relevant in what I conclude from it.
Try#1: Switched off wireless adapter. Hardwired the internet connection. Extremely few lag spikes in random order. -- wtp it worked?!
Try#2: Used Vista Anti-Lag and WLAN Optimizer to prevent vista from looking for a newer AP every 60s. Fail.
Try#3: Stopped the services WLAN autoconfig and Wireless autoconfig then tried to connect to the internet. -- Fail.
Try#4: Stopped the services WLAN autoconfig and wireless autoconfig then tried to connect to the internet using a 3rd party connection manager. -- Fail. Doesn't seem as if you'd get anywhere without the two services.
Try#5: Kept both services running; Turned off "Connect to a more preferred network if available" under properties. Fail.
Try#6: [spoiler=This technique is successful. To those who want to try this please note that I'm not responsible if you mess up or if it does not work for you.]Did the above but also turned off the autoconfig on the interface Wireless Network Connection that is tied to my laptop's built-in wireless adapter. Bingo. Command used in command prompt was:
(To whoever wants to use this, since it's worked for many people, you should first find out what the interface name is in case yours were labelled differently. To do this, start up command prompt as admin: Start> type in cmd> right click, scroll to run as admin. Then type in
Hit enter. Something like this should show up:
Lag spikes are almost 50% fewer now. -- MAJOR improvement. However, theres still a lag spike every so often, sometimes more than enough to possibly own me at bossing activities. Next few tries will be focused on downgrading my wireless card's driver to an xp driver then running Try#6 again.
My laptop's built-in wireless adapter is an Atheros AR928X Wireless Network Adapter.
@Technolink: if you don't mind, could you be more specific?
