I'm getting alot of lag while playing this game. I have windows xp, radeon9800pro128 ram, 2.8, 512 ram, 80gb,68% free. Its a Dell with Dsl extreme, it runs great. What can i do, to do away with this lag? Thanks in advance.

First question: is it performance lag, or actual Internet connection lag? Like, is it worse in cities or really graphical places, or is it a constant connection lag?

If it's a connection lag, I'd say it's 90% something to do with a router port problem. Are you on a router with the DSL?

If it's graphical lag, then I'd suggest upping your RAM. I used to have 768 MB of RAM, but I recently had to give the borrowed 256 MB back, so now I have 512 MB. You wouldn't believe the difference between 512 MB and 768 MB. I'm not kidding when I say that from 512 MB to 768 MB almost doubles the performance of some games. Battlefield 1942 and Battlefield Vietnam's level loading goes 100% faster with just 256 MB more.

Yep, it's your ram. I just bought a new computer and with 1 gig of DDR Ram it still will occasionally lag in larger cities (course, I play with the graphics maxed out)

1 gig should do you fine, but with todays prices on ram get as much as you can fit. Ram is your friend
