Reducing Lag

[kieran]

Didn't know where to post this, but here is how I boosted my FPS by at least 20 on a Toshiba satellite and made it run good even for college, best part is, it's easy and there's no downloads required!

Steps are as follow:

A guide on disabling svchost processes/services: http://www.instructables.com/id/Fix-Svchostexe-Using-High-Memory-on-Windows-7/

 

This next part is slightly important for people that have glass task bar, it tells you how to get visuals running for best performance.

1. Open control panel.
2. Click "Advanced system settings".
3. Click "Settings" under the section "Performance".
4. Click "Adjust for best performance".
5. Restart PC
6. Ensure there's no processes using +7 CPU in task manager then load MTA.

Happy gaming!

 

Still got lag? Try the following!

1. Open task manager.

2. Go to services tab.

3. Click "services...".

4. Make sure you have "Extended" enabled on the bottom left, it is important for next steps.

5. This may take some time, but sort services by "Status" so "Started" shows at top.

6. Now you need to sift through started processes, disable any that you don't need and are just wasting CPU.

7. Use right mouse button to click the process, then either edit its properties or click disable

8. ENSURE YOU READ THE PROCESS DESCRIPTION CAREFULLY, IF UNSURE PLEASE RESEARCH ITS USE ON ANY BROWSER YOU HAVE. DISABLING IMPORTANT PROCESSES MAY LEAD TO MACHINE FAILURE!!!

9. FINAL STEP! Restart your PC and hopefully your gameplay will be improved!
