Avoid Game Lag

Tuesday July 29, 2003
It could happen to anyone - your favorite game loads very slowly or lags when scrolling across. Sometimes the lag can be solved by upgrading your video card. Other times game performance can be improvded by simple maintenance and organization.

No, a new video card will not solve the problem all the time. As I said in the blog post, sometimes it will help.

How come when playing a certain game, that if someone ( for example ) places an object down that is large or many small objects it causes lag?

(( by the way the game i play is Garry’s Mod 9 – A Mod For Steam – An Online game. ))

Im talking proper lag!

The servers that hold the games, its ping is usually 500 or more when experiancing bad lag or sometimes just 100 or more! Then added ontop of that is the players ping! I think that the ping that is displayed for the servers is an average of what the players have on the server.
