Title: Laaaags (unplayable)
Post by: tcprst on February 11, 2024, 20:20
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)

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

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)

Display Port or HDMI to usb you mean?

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.

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

In windows 11 it's generally recommended to disable Memory Integrity for gaming...

I think it's under settings-privacy&security-windows security-device security-core isolation-memory integrity...  Toggle it off and try the game.

Personally I've had issues in the past especially with win 11 (more especially with 24h2) and nvidia drivers are the worst they've ever been for causing problems.  Maybe that suggestion will help :)

I had an issue of mouse lag after win 11 update 24h2, and changing windows power option to "balanced" fixed that issue.
