experiancing realy bad lag, works fine with other games, just this one, any way to stop lag or help it in any way what so ever? playing like a noob i keep getting slaughtered lol

the only way to stop lagging is to make sure you have atleast 2.0 gb of ram in your computer and you dont have anything running in the background. music videos, antivirus systems, other websites, flash content etc.

It lags if your computer is very weak or messed up.

Here is my cheapest (test) computer:
- AthlonXP 2400
- 2GB DDR2-800
- onboard Nvidia 6100
- Windows XP
- Internet Explorer 6
- Avira antivirus
45-50 FPS in a camp of 8 (with the Textures resolution set to HIGH!).

Additional notes:
- the shockwave plugin does not work properly on Firefox.
You'll get freezes from time to time.
- certain Antivirus programs waste a bunch of system resources for almost nothing
- pay attention to all the apps running in background (see Task Manager).
A few of them might waste sistem resources for nothing. Close them.
- close all the other browser windows or tabs when you play a (complex) browser based multiplayer game.
- close all the messengers and other network suckers you may have.

p.s.
That "works fine with other games, just this one" indicates a troll.
If you are a troll, you are not welcome here.

i have 3 gb ram/memory so i have enough, the game works fine with 1-3 other players but anything over 3 other players (including me) my player takes forever to move and i'm dead before i can do anything, so i have to log out and try a different camp with less players, my avg (anti virus program) is running 24/7 it wouldnt be safe to turn this off surely?

actually it would be safe to turn it off as long as you're not surfing the web. If you're not surfing the web or you arent doing anything that could cause you a virus, you should be fine a virus can't get into you're computer unless you go on something or download something

Slow processor and/or graphics card.
But you did not provide any details about them.
In any case, for onboard graphics be sure at least 256BM RAM are shared for Video.
Also, if your computer is so weak, in the game starting menu:
- turn off the 3D sounds (you don't have enough processing power for that).
- set the textures quality to Medium or Low.

hi, i have the same problem, when there's 2 or 3 people the game doesn't lag only sometimes, but when there's more people my character takes 5 mins to turn i reboot and it's still the same if that wouldn't happen i would kill everyone in the game but it's too slow! I've got a 2gb ram but the game takes too much cpu usage! what shall i do

Hmm... Give us some infos about your graphic card and processor...
And game takes to 500-600MB of CPU after 1 hour of playing, at least at my PC...

Hi

I always have a connection problem
When i'm going on the game the CPU usage is 43-50%
But when i go in the camp the CPU usage is 97%
What is the problem??
The game is a bit better when i play it on my cousins PC but when i play it on my PC it is so slow
I move my mouse left or right and it takes minutes to move and sometimes it ends up pointing to the ground or the sky.
People kill me and i get so angry coz it takes 4 mins to see where they are

Someone plz help me
my fps is 1-5/50

A few tips from Scotland Yard:
- check out the Display Settings and be sure the Antialiasing is disabled.
- set the monitor resolution to 1024x768 (no more).
- in case of (slow) onboard graphics, check out the BIOS settings and be sure at least 256MB RAM is shared to Video.
- in the game starting menu set the Textures quality to Medium (or even Low).
- in case of cheap onboard sound, in the game starting menu disable the 3D Sounds.
