Halo 2 lag problem.

[assassinchief107]

The game is ultra annoying: whenever I play, it goes very smooth, no problems at all, then it goes lagging like a bitch and pisses me off, then goes back to normal, lags again etc. How do I fix this? I set it to the lowest resolution, is that the only downgrader? Do Bungie really want their game to look 'pretty' even in crappy computers (not that mine is). So how do I fix this?

Turn off Vsync.

There is no option for that? The only 'downgradable' thing there, is the resolution, which never solved a crap.

I am epicly dumb, instead of adjusting the settings in the main menu, I did it in the pause one, which had no level of detail decrease. LOCK

Turn off Vsync.he means, add a -novsync argument in a H2V shortcut.

I hope you read my other post. I was wrong, I didn't adjust the game correctly, that's all.
E: still lagging, please help?

Your video card might be overheating.

I had the same problem with my older video card where the fan did not want to work, you actually had to spin it manually to make it blow (air)
Whenever I didn't do it, FPS in every game went to very smooth to extreme choppyness for a few minutes, then back to the very smooth FPS, and then back, etc.

Consider closing apps in the background you don't use, maybe even services. I always run EndItAll (2) before starting online gaming, set to kill some unused services as well.

or it could just be H2V.
I get a steady 70+FPS in H2V but has signs of it lagging and occasionally drops through the floor for no reason.

FIXED IT. T'was because of my angle, the fan didn't really breathe, so now that it's open, no more lag.
LOCK NAO
