I'm back with more lag issues

['parasight]

So you might remember my last topics a few months ago, where I complain about in-game lag (*not internet-lag)

Well, nothing has changed since then. I still lag on my high-end rig.. once again, my issue is:

Game is smooth, but every 2 or 3 seconds I experience a "freeze" (sort of lag) which is noticable and very annoying

I tried almost every method I know of, updating drivers, using game boosters, changing priority to high, fps increasers and all that stuff. nothing helps. I will still get those freezes no matter what I do.

My ingame settings are pretty much everything on MAX, simply because my computer can handle it. there is no difference in lag if I lower the FX quality or AA.

Resolution: 1920x1080x32

PC specs are : AMD Phenom II 955 as CPU, GTX560Ti as GPU. The game is installed on a seagate barracuda 7200RPM.

I've already prepared a MTADiag log: http://pastebin.com/s5Tka3Z4

Thanks and I hope we can find a solution.

Could you please provide videos of the two tests I described above here: https://forum.multitheftauto.com/viewtopic.php?f ... 15#p535318

Sure, could you make a command that will show the FPS? I couldnt make fraps to record the amount of FPS too. that is to show you the drops.

and something else, I have noticed that early in the morning when the servers has less players, the game is alot less laggy, I've spoke to -ffs-sniper about it (I play on his server most of the time) and he said something about syncing (?) maybe when there are many players on, the server is working harder to keep up with the syncing and that's what is causing my drops?

the difference is: at 4PM for example the game is un-playable, at 4AM it's playable but still stuttering a bit. however drops are still there.

and another thing that I was thinking of, maybe my network is causing the issues? the server I play has 250~300 players on an average day. is it possible that my network/latency is too high to keep up with the large amount of players?

It's quite weird that I'm the only one complaining about lag, when my PC is alot better than other people in the community.

Fraps will record the stuttering for us to view, unless the pauses are less than 1/30th of a second. I believe you can increase the capture rate in Fraps if required as well. I think Fraps should also have a "display overlay in video" toggle too.

That option is only available for screenshots, anyway, done capturing..

The video might look laggy, but it feels exactly the same while i'm playing, rendering the video made the 'drops' disappear so luckily I made it record the amount of FPS. you can see it drops by 5-6 at a time, and drops to 30fps atleast once or twice a round.

I see nobody has a clue, I'll just live with it... already on the edge of quitting this game anyway

thanks whoever helped

It's not like we haven't been attempting to figure out what's wrong. Towncivilian and ccw have looked at this and are actively attempting to find the problem. No need to be such a Debbie Downer.

I'm not saying you're not! I appreciate your tries to help

but i'm just desperate. I played on a Q9550 from 2008 till 2011 with no problem, short time after that the lags started, I switched to AMD 955 and GTX560Ti, I could play with no problem for awhile on MTA 1.2, when 1.3 came all the troubles started.. FPS drops, stutters and so on... like I said i've made my last upgrade about 2 weeks ago (3570k and HD7970) and it's still happening... so I feel like it's a lost case..
