Laaaags (unplayable)

[tcprst]

Hi Guys.
I can't play anymore my loved ut2004.
I got extrem lags, freezes, input lags...

I done everything to optimize my Win11.

What I did:
build new inis
Reinstalled Win11
NVIDIA reinstalled
new V3369.1 Patch installed

What is strange is, only full Power works a little bit.
390fps and hz, everything below crap.

Monitor 390hz
NVIDIA 4060
Rryzen7
think PC is OK for this old game

I am open for all tips.

I would start by testing connecting the monitor directly to the motherboard, this way you can identify whether the problem is the GPU or not. (assuming you have already checked that it is not an internet problem or overheating)

Maybe it works well and you can play without lag without using your gpu (I played without gpu for like 10 years)

Good Idea, but my Mainboard didn't got any Port ☹️

Have you worked through these?

Dynamic Netspeed.
Make sure this is off.  I get the same issues with lagging and freezing when this is enabled:

Settings -> Game -> Network -> Dynamic Netspeed

How to reduce input latency and make the game smooth.

Didn't work, but ty.

buy an hdmi display adapter. Connect the monitor to the motherboard and be happy, it's a 2004 game you don't need any gpu (unless you want to play at a super pro level)

[tcprst]

Display Port or HDMI to usb you mean?

[sup]

Does your motherboard only have USB ports?

Many AMD CPU's don't have integrated graphics. He's on a Ryzen 7.... so unless he has a "G" suffix model (e.g. 8700G) he won't have any graphics without a discrete card.

oh didn't know that, I've never used AMD, my old i7 4790k runs UT2004 very well

Would be easier to dual-boot windows 7 than fixing 11

I buy a old PC with Win7 and no GPU.
And this in 2024 rofl, shit Microsoft and NVIDIA.
