Lag

    Well, I got a considerable lag 2 times today, when attacked, first time by 2 wolverines, next time by komodo dragons...


    My ping is 56, with 0 loss, and 0 fluct.


    Someone online suggested me to restart the launcher (launcher version is 1.6)


    Btw. another thing: whenever I start the launcher, it tries to install a program called Music Coach Player, but it can't because I don't have it obviusly. It tries to find it on a cd, but there is no, so I click cancel, and then the launcher opens.


    Might it be the lack of that Music Coach Player? I don't see the connection but...

    Music Coach Player has nothing to do with CF. try to search that website of the Music Coach Player for help, please.

    Music Coach Player sounds like some heavy malware :(

    Fix'd.

    Well, I got rid of Music Coach player, but the problem continues, in many fight situations, the game tends to twitch a lot.


    Now there could be lots of different solutions here... maybe my hardware can't handle the new crossfire effects but I doubt it...


    I've got Windows XP service pack 2, Pentium 4 3.00 GHZ, 2 GB of RAM, graphics card is Radeon X1950.
    Also, I've got a widescreen monitor, that's probably irrelevant, but it doesn't hurt mentioning I guess, heh.


    Any ideas?

    At first i would advice you to have a closer look to your data (magnet mentioned already) get rid of spyware/malware - there are tools that can be used.


    The launcher itself has no single conection to the Music Coach Player - must be something different that causes this behaviour. Do you use a firewall where you can see what passes by?


    The hardware requirements are quite OK! Have had nearly the same last year ;)

    Ok I managed to pinpoint the problem.


    I noticed it only happens in larger battles. I doubted it was the graphics, because the hardware I have is more than enough to run Freelancer, even with these improved graphics. So I tried something else that is present a lot in big battles: sound. When I muted the sound, all battles ran smoothly. More correctly, the problem are the sound effects. There are just so many and it seems my pc can't handle it.


    Later on I'll try to get rid of the problem, maybe just lowering the sound effects will be enough, or replacing headphones with stereo speakers... anyway, thanks for the help everyone

    Didn't help... it's the same thing with it turned on or off...


    The problem is definitely with the sound effects... I have to completely mute them. If I move the sound effect slider even an inch to the right, the problem occurs.

    u can try and work on the codecs as is suggested here: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/814549/EN-US/

    and if that wont help you I suggest you check if ur soundcard is too old or if it's even working correctly :)

    Problem solved!


    It was the drivers, problem was, I didn't know which sound card I had, because it's integrated on the motherboard. Luckily I found the motherboard's CD, and on it an installation for new sound card drivers.


    Thank you all for your help, now my Freelancer expirience is complete :D
