Hey,

i hope you guys can help me out with a little hardware prob.

I have experienced some graphic freezes and general lags in UT for one month now, which is very annoying. Today UT totally freezed and crashed while i was playing (i could end it in Task Manager) In addition to that i got shock-combo lags and a general imprecise mouse feeling.

One month ago everything was fine. I had no problems in other games so far, which doesn't mean that the prob doesn't exist there, as only in ut i recognize very small changes.

What i have tried so far:

Putting out graphics card, putting back in.
Checked all cable connections.
Checked graphics card with FurMark
Checked Ram and CPU with Prime95
Checked Ram with Memtest86

Config is:

Win 7 64

Gigabyte GA-Z77X-UD3H
i5 3570k with Noctua NH-D14
Corsair Vengeance LP 1.5v, 1600, 16GB
Gigabyte Geforce GTX 670 OC
be quiet! Straight Power E9 CM 680W
Normal Seagate 1TB Disc
Some LG DVD
In a Fractal Design R4.

I have no idea where to search now. It totally makes me crazy.

Could somebody give me a hint what to do / how to do try and error?

Don't know if there's a relation, sadly, or it have driver problem?

It may be happen too if the power supply is on bad way.(under power in bios?)

This is your game in general and not a server?

Hm....have you had any viruses or installed new programs lately? Any new mods for UT that you've added? I guess you could always try re-installing the game and the bonus pack and patch.

Have you installed any hardware, programs or updates over the last month Rott?

Updated your drivers since it was playing fine ?. I had a similar problem with performance when i updated my GFX driver, few months back. Running a Palit GTX 670 jetstream here. Also a good thorough virus/malware scan wouldn't hurt.

If the problem still persists, then ask here > http://www.tomshardware.co.uk/forum/

Hey Guys,

thx for the help .


- Updated graphics drivers
- Reinstalled UT
- Complete system scan with Panda, Bitware, Antivir, Malwarebytes, HijackThis

I didn't install any mods manually and always emptied cache before reinstall.
The only two programs i recently installed on windows were Batman Arkham City and Flash Player.
No hardware changes.

Problem still persists :o

Try play "Instant Action", ONS, Torlan. Still lag? What is your FPS?
Press "~" and type "stat fps".

Are you playing other games on the same conf?

Heya Eman and Salko,

perhaps the singleplayer-test was the right trace.

I just played in SP and as i didn't do this for a long time - the performance totally blew my mind. I never would have thought, that online playing sucks so much of the performance! If i had this performance always... wow.

I tested 20 mins. No lags and graphic bugs, no crashes.

So what to try next now? I can't imagine, that bad UT-settings / files / bad server performance could lead to freezes and stuff?!
