Hi everyone... I suffer from lag in wc3. Sadly. It's weird, my computer is quite new and it has good parts etc. but still lag occurs :(

So, what are the most common reasons for lag?
It acts in a quite weird way.

In most maps I play I start at

FPS:

60+
Then suddenly it starts to drop:
50...
40...
30...
20...
10...
2...

And then I'm back at 60+.
In 10-20 seconds it will start drop again, and go back... Then it keeps doing like that.
So, any idea if there's something I can do about it? :(

Thanks in advance!
And tell me if I posted this in the wrong forum 'cause I wasn't sure where to put it.

// Carl-Fredrik

Edit: Oh, and if it's spelled "lag", tell me, I've seen both spellings so many times that I've got confused ^^
Edit2: Since a mod changed the title I guess it's "lag". Sorry for my spelling :)

How good is your internet connection? That affects lag.

Yeah, there is absolutely no problem with that connection.

Is the lag on Battle.net or single player, or both?

That's a good question :)

I can't check right now, I'm in a game..

But I'm sure it exists in B.Net and I think it happens in Single Too but it's not as much there...

Oh, and I just played a sheep tag and got no lagg at all, while at (for example) footmen frenzy I got loads of it and at a friend's AoS I got a lot of it aswell.. :S

Maybe it's non-clearing of memory leaks?

It seems like my computer doesn't like many units...

If it's FPS then chances are it's not your connection.

I would make sure you have no other programs running in the backround and try running the game with lower settings to see if it's a graphics related issue.

Thanks for the advice. Will do :)

I think there's no simple solution to this that we'll find suddenly so I'll give rep to every1 who helped me :)

Maybe your cable is not screwed in all the way? The same thing happened to me for a while, sometimes my connection was really fast, other times it just dropped for a few seconds and went back up. After a while i checked my cable and it was not all the way in, and after I screwed it in all the way I never had these problems again. Just a suggestion.

What you have to do reallocate your hardwire modem to the CPM. After that enter your internal registry, find the CPX.7z file and delete it. At which point you're going to want to do restart your comp. After that, go to the IDF and change the Internal Checks Per Minute to 42, instead of 39. This will mean that your internal checks will be more often, and then you will be able to reroute your main IDF resources towards keeping your FPS up.

After this you'll need to go to IE and remove all toolbars you have. Go to your task manager and end ALL processes and then beat your computer with an aluminum baseball bat. This should fix your problem, if not, then I think your computer's messed up and you might as well just hit it with an aluminum baseball bat.

    Crazy how much 3d printing has come in the last few years. Sad that it's not as easily modifiable though
  • Varine Varine:
    I bought an Ender 3 during the pandemic and tinkered with it all the time. Just bought a Sovol, not as easy. I'm trying to make it use a different nozzle because I have a fuck ton of Volcanos, and they use what is basically a modified volcano that is just a smidge longer, and almost every part on this thing needs to be redone to make it work
  • Varine Varine:
    Luckily I have a 3d printer for that, I guess. But it's ridiculous. The regular volcanos are 21mm, these Sovol versions are about 23.5mm
  • Varine Varine:
    So, 2.5mm longer. But the thing that measures the bed is about 1.5mm above the nozzle, so if I swap it with a volcano then I'm 1mm behind it. So cool, new bracket to swap that, but THEN the fan shroud to direct air at the part is ALSO going to be .5mm to low, and so I need to redo that, but by doing that it is a little bit off where it should be blowing and it's throwing it at the heating block instead of the part, and fuck man
  • Varine Varine:
    I didn't realize they designed this entire thing to NOT be modded. I would have just got a fucking Bambu if I knew that, the whole point was I could fuck with this. And no one else makes shit for Sovol so I have to go through them, and they have... interesting pricing models. So I have a new extruder altogether that I'm taking apart and going to just design a whole new one to use my nozzles. Dumb design.
  • Varine Varine:
    Can't just buy a new heatblock, you need to get a whole hotend - so block, heater cartridge, thermistor, heatbreak, and nozzle. And they put this fucking paste in there so I can't take the thermistor or cartridge out with any ease, that's 30 dollars. Or you can get the whole extrudor with the direct driver AND that heatblock for like 50, but you still can't get any of it to come apart
  • Varine Varine:
    Partsbuilt has individual parts I found but they're expensive. I think I can get bits swapped around and make this work with generic shit though
