I got a few questions here.

 

 

 

I recently got a new computer, a Gateway DX 4200-09, bumped the RAM up to 6GB and going to get a video card, but right now I've got ATI Radeon HD 3200 Incorporated Graphics. I installed CoD1:UO a few days ago and its run like a beauty with no lag and low ping (50-80). Now, today I installed CoD4 to try it out (yes I know my graphics can't really handle the game). It was really laggy, and every server i went on my ping was upper 200s-300s. Surprised, I tried a few other servers and got the same results for each one. Giving up, I just uninstalled the game and tried going back to CoD1:UO, but upon getting there I realized my ping was in the 150-200 range, and it was hard to play.

 

 

 

Now here's my question, what caused the lag/ping jump and how can i bring it back down?

 

 

 

Also, I've been downloading maps and stuff from the servers into my CoD1:UO folder and it's been saving there nicely. Today I tried accessing the folder and all I found was files that came during the installation, but I cannot find my Downloaded files and I need to delete them because some of them are invalid Pk3 files on my main server. How do I access and delete these files?

I don't have any advice for you really, but ping deals with your internet connection, not your computer itself.

i always have bad problems with ping, never less than 300 normally in the 350+ range

 

i'm assuming your not from australia with such good pings so if you're form UK europe or usa pick a server that is closer to your country or state if it displays them
