I am having huge lag problems at the moment. My ping is normal most of the time, meaning 29, but it feels like I am playing with 80+ ping. Guys teleporting all over the place, animations not showing, delays and fraps lag. I get it all. Not sure what it is.
I have tried resetting the router, cleansing my PC, trying the Game Booster, checking Hookups for internet, checking internet settings or Graphics settings, veryfying game cache and reinstalling the game. Nothing has worked so far. Also I have noticed it is only in Multiplayer, in Single Player everything is normal.
This has never happened to me before. When I did lag, it was either due to the amount of players on a server or simply because I was on the wrong server.
I normally stick of the Groupfighting_Server, where there are tops 60 players on. Normally around 20-30 though and I have never experienced bad lags there until now. It is not a server issue either since I haven't heard too many other players talk about lags there.
I also tried out some Native Servers and other NW servers. All the same.
In addition to that I measured my internet speed and it seemed fine. I have not tried other games online since M&B is pretty much the only one I play online. Seldomly, I play Total War games online, but they always lag for me due to my not too excellent PC.
If anyone knows anything about this problem or has a suggestion as in how to fix it. Please enlighten me.
EDIT: I should add this has been going on since Febuary, the 25th.
UPDATE (06/04/2013):This problem has gotten a lot worse again after having gotten better. Probably the worst it has been. I mostly have huge delays which make good timing near to impossible. Any further suggestions? I've tried all this:
updated the graphic card drivers
defragmented my hard drives
checked for viruses
cleansed my system with CCleaner
fixed my registry problems
reset my router
checked how fast my internet is and for packet loss
changed some performance options
used game booster
deleted and reinsalled the game a couple times
veryfied the game cache
tried Metalsie's suggestion
installed one of the older drivers someone suggested
prioritized M&B as task
turned off my firewall
None of them fixed it.
Some things that were suggested I haven't tried. For instance reinstalling windows and getting myself a new firewall programm. I can't reinstall windows because I do not have it on a CD and otherwise it would cost me money which I am not willing to invest and the money issue is the same for the other solution.
Oh, and I haven't contacted my provider but there shouldn't be anything wrong on their side since my normal internet is as fast as it used to be and there wasn't any packet loss or anything of that sort.
