    It has litterly lagged every game since I posted that. Lag and pox are one in the same.

    Your post before said it was running great. Have you tried uninstalling the game completely. Update your video drivers and then reinstall?

    Senshu, i am just done man. I have accepted the lag. It was running smooth but right after i made that post on , Wednesday at 9:26 PM the game started lagging not as bad as it was, but still it is bad. It is probably my internet.

    That is unfortunate to hear, and strange about your internet if that is the case. Have you tried playing at different times, are you playing over WiFi?

    Yes I have tried different times, and my first or second game I usually get disconnect, or the client is unresponsive visually.

    I am Playing over WiFi, it is my only option.

    Are you on a laptop and if so have you tried playing in at a different location like a cafe just to see if it is your local connection. Are you connecting directly to a Router or Broadband Modem or connecting to a WiFi extender?

    Connecting to Braodband Modem, I will report different location tests when I try them, but i do play much outside of my home.

    Don't feel obligated to do it, but it would help rule out if it is specifically your WiFi connection or some other factor.

    I played a game t school and it was working a lot better. There is one internet modem where I live and it shared between 6 people.

    Yeah that would definitely cause lag especially depending on the what type of WiFi band it is using and its rated capacity. The one time it was running smoothly when you got your new computer were you the only one at your residence? Do you know if a lot of the other people are streaming video like Netflix, Hulu, Crackle, Amazon Prime, etc. because those would be the real bandwidth hogs.

    The client from the web site download is working good for me right now. I tried to play the steam version and it was not working at all. Could sign in, however the at the loading screen i encounter an out of memory notice every time.
