Alright so when i play h2vista online i experience a few small lags. But most of the time it starts laggin small then i lose connection and it has to resetup the match and as soon as i get back it plays for 2 min then kicks me again always around 1 to 2 min of semi laggy play.edit(the nubmer of min decreases each time yes my ping rate jumps rapidly arounds the bar on the view carnage screen ingame. this is very hard to work with and half the time when i try to join a game it says you are unable to game or somthing. my specs are up to date and it is not poor framrate i have a nvidia geforce 8600 gtx so i dont experience this in singleplayer so it is deffinatley a lag. i need to know how to fix both of these problems fast.Edit(it used to really lag but then i got vis anti lag so now its smaller lags

I assume you don't have this problem with other games?

I think you mean 8600GTS. Who's your network provider?

That answer your question?

even though i have a belkin adapter it shouldnt do anything

Personally, I think you should get a longass ethernet cable and stop using the wireless feature. There is a palpable difference, trust me. Don't ask me how it works, though, something to do with packet loss. I think air isn't the most stable connection.

same here, I got tired of the wireless and went back to the cable. The wireless doesn't get the same amount of connection as the wire, unless you're RIGHT next to the router or whatever it connects to.

,also exiting aim,msn,yahoo and various pron helps boost proformance.

I hate how when the server exceeds 8 people the ugly scripted death poses appear. Was this in Halo 2 Xbox?

Wireless is limited to 54mbps (on laptops, that is - I don't know how it is on desktops). It's fine for surfing the internet but for online gaming an actual cable is much better (you get at least 100 mbps)

I think those are maximum capacities.. and since your modem is probably not running at 54 mbps I don't think it holds much significance.

Back to the topic though, I think Vista is the problem. Check out my thread here: http://www.h2vista.net/forums/showthread.php?t=2892&highlight=multiplayer+lag
I figured out the rather inelegant solution to my problem on the second page of the thread, because my computer is too far away from the router to run a cable (it's two floors up).

Idk if redsteven's post helped or not, but in case it didn't, below is the solution to your problem, which I think is the same as to what I have experienced before.

You have to disable WLAN Autoconfig in 'Services'. A little nostalgic to anyone? It's the same thing as Wireless Zero Configuration in Windows XP, except when you disable it from 'Services', your internet connection is cut off completely.

So go into 'Start' and search for 'cmd'. Right click the program and click 'Run as Administrator'. Type the following followed by 'Enter':
1. netsh
2. wlan
3. set autoconfig enabled=no interface="*"

Then you should have a stable online gaming experience. If you ever need Vista to repair your internet connection and whatnot, just do the same as above, except instead of 'no', replace it with 'yes'.

hm.... interesting. I'll try that out this weekend. Maybe I won't need two computers just to play halo 2 online anymore :)

I wonder if that's similar to what the "vista anti lag" program does, cause... that one didn't work for me
