Running Vista on a 1.2Ghz computer really doesn't help. The only costfree you can do is to format and install XP. Assuming you've turnt the detail down to low.

When you get to the loging screen for WOL where it has quickmatch/advanced game listing/chat. Click on the my info settings and make sure it's set to lan/t1.
Mine somehow got switched to 56k once and It took me awhile to figure out what was wrong. Hope that helps.

Turn off programs in the background such as the Vista Side bar and anything else that you obviously won't be needing while playing.

You can just either reboot the computer, or reopen the programs when you are done with Renegade.

This includes any background media players as well!

I don't think he has internet lag, the lag is caused by his PC/Laptop.

Post your full PC specs please, but 1.2 GHz CPU doesn't sound a promising start.

A 1.2 ghz CPU in Renegade is going to lag like hell, no matter what you do. Renegade is very CPU intensive.

QFT. My old 800MHz PIII could barely play the game unless it was small servers. Stick to small servers and since you won't get high FPS anyway,your better off sticking to AOW and avoiding sniping. The game settings depend more on your video card. I don't think any of them are CPU bound except maybe particle detail (so leave that at low/medium).

I'll second the motion that Vista on that CPU is probably a bad idea in itself, let alone running games on top of it. Vista is something like 5%-10% (sometimes more) slower on average than XP even on current systems, so just going to XP on your older one should give a small decent boost right there.

Why the hell did you install Vista on such a PC Sneaky

I don't recommend using Vista on a PC with less than 2 GB RAM, Dual core CPU and 7200 rpm harddisk, if you don't want lag.

Install Windows XP and disable visual styles and everything, that should do it.


When people ask me "Plz" just because it's shorter than "Please" I feel perfectly justified to answer "No" because it's shorter then "Yes"

Not really, I have a 1.2 Ghz CPU and 256 MB Graphics card with 356 MB of RAM and on a cabel of DSL connection it works fine and I get no lag at all. So yeah it is not CPU intensive LAMO.

Do you know anything you just said? No, on my old 1.3Ghz Duron, I had 15 FPS average on low detail, if you don't call that lag, then you are bonked in the brain. (Which you got from getting stepped on as a baby.)

Depends on the person on what they find fast and slow. Renegade is more CPU bound than GPU bound from my findings. I have a GeForce4 Ti4200 in that old PIII 800MHz box. That's plenty for Renegade. It gets between 20-30FPS average, maybe a bit more in tunnels and/or small servers. You're right, it's playable, but I'm used to a constant 60+, so to me, that's a little slow. That same card got twice that in a P4 machine. Point is, Renegade is no longer limited by the GPU at all unless you're using a crappy one. It's CPU limited, especially online when your CPU has to calculate all of those players. The box for the game said a PII of what, 266MHz was minimum? Maybe for single player. I think 800MHz PIII was the minimum for online, and I'd say that's about right. 1.2GHz will work, but when alot happens, it will lag.

Yeah. Vista works fine on Quad cores @ 3.0 Ghz with 2GB of RAM. You need to either -

A) Use XP

B) Find all of Vista's glossy interfacce options and set them all to low detail, that should help.

Also, as you're using Vista, if you have a USB 2.0 flash disk, and USB 2.0 ports, plug the flash disk in, and have Vista use it as ReadyBoost, that should speed up Vista slightly.
