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…

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?

Ok I managed to pinpoint the problem. I noticed it only happens in larger battles.

Ok I'll try that then

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
