Rs lag

Hi i recently just bought a new laptop

Runescape lag


750 gb hard drive
6 gb ram
e2 amd 1800
windows 8
laptop is 3 days old so no unnecessary programs and stuff

but i still lag i am using a 3 internet dongle atm which gives 7.2mbps internet speed

is this why i am lagging

can anyone help thanks

 

Highly likely that is the dongle, I've never personally got on with those. If you think RS would be bad on one, I used to raid on WoW with one.

 

Its weird tho cause i used to use the same dongle on an older laptop with worse specs 3 gb ram and it didnt lag as bad as it is with laptop.

 

Try turning your graphics on RS down? Perhaps play in fixed mode with minimum deatils.

 

yh thats what i am doing but still makes no difference lol

im getting fibre optic in a week so hopefully that will help

 

Shouldn't have any problems when you get propper internet, you running web client or desktop client?

 

running the web client on internet explorer and opera

was worse on opera

 

A lot of people get confused between 'lag' and bad framerates. Though that a computer with that hardware shouldn't have a problem. I find that the 'software' setting gives me a choppy game, so I use the DirectX setting..

And if it's actual internet lag, do you lag on other games?

 

I'd try the non webclient, might make things a little smoother as it isn't Java based.

 

I use a USB modem for wireless broadband and I've never had any issues.

Is your service speed capped?

 

Uhm I don't think so im using payg mobile dongle I top up £2.99 per 500mb of internet

 

i have the same problem.

some laptops do not connect good with your WIFI, my samsung does exactly the same.

 

Trust me, it will be the dongle, it goes by the phone signal, if your mobile is on 3, your sharing the same internet signal as your phone, your laptops internet will be the same as you phones.

Dongles were made for browsing the internet and e-mailing as you go not gaming.

 

I'm on prepaid also. In my case the higher the recharge purchase the faster your internet is.

As I said above, I use one and I can RS + YT + DL + stream with no lagg at all.

 

Ok thanks hopefully when I get talk talk fibre optic it helps a lot

=D

 

Well it's definitely not your laptop causing the lag. Upgrade your internet connection.

 

It'll be your internet, however I have shocking internet connection yet I can still manage to run RS on HD on 2 accounts + at once.
