What creates lag?

I no longer know what to think xD the lag makes it impossible to play any game regardless of the server location (I experience lag even in my own LAN game lol), sometimes people seem "unconcerned" by the tons of bullets directed at their head or sometimes they just teleporting here and there like Goku, but in the end the outcome is the same, I die xD
Probably this is all caused by my ping fluctuations, but why? What's the orgin of this mess? My desktop it's a bit old, I bought it in 2008... but it shouldn't be enough for playing at HCE normally? o.O here's its spec along with speedtest and pingtest results:

- Intel ® Core™2 Quad CPU Q6600 @ 2.40GHz 2.40 GHz
- RAM 2,00 GB
- 64 bit
- NVIDIA GeForce GT 520

Listening to my ISP it's all fine.

1) I don't run unnecessary programs like skipe, emule, torrent etc. when playing.
2) I have a lot of space on my disk and I regularly defrag it.
3) Complete scans with Avira, Malwarebytes, SUPERAntyspyware, Trojan Remover don't show any problems (they aren't in conflict)
4) I clean my pc like everyday with CCleaner and Jetclean.
5) I have installed Latency Fix 3.00.
6) Tried also Razer Game Booster but with no improvements of any sort.


Any ideas guys? [daw]
I was younger then, I wasn’t afraid of anything, I didn’t think about dying for a second. I thought I was invincible. Then I met some girl. I wanted to live, I started to think like that; for the first time I was afraid of death. I had never felt like that before.

Fact is genius's can take all the hard work of the common folk and turn the whole entire thing around, so that it's like it was all for nothing. As one of those with talent, let me apologize. I know it's unfair but... TOUGH SHIT, SUCKER'S!!

Humans believe their lives and ants lives are weighted differently. This is profound arrogance.

Nothing worse than being strong, but not strong enough.

Re: What creates lag?

Okay so are we talking about fps lag or a problem directly related to your connection which btw doesn't seem to be very good?

Re: What creates lag?

The reason of this topic is (hopefully) to figure out the cause of my weird lag.

Re: What creates lag?

You will have lag no matter how good your connection is.

1. Where the server host is located
2. Other people connection

You can have the best connection but still have some lag in there. So you really can't get ride of lag that easily.

And lag is just how fast your net/console catches up to the server or host. If it keeps up with it faster than less lag. If it does not than more lag.

Re: What creates lag?

You can just press Ctrl+F12 to see your FPS in game for Halo CE.

There are a few thinks I can think of.
Your computer is overheating and working harder to cool it.
Your computer isn't getting enough power so it runs weaker.
If you haven't restarted it for a while try that.

I think it's properly powered, and I often restart my pc for various updates, more info:

CPU: 23°C (73°F)
Mainboard: 36°C (97°F)
Video Card 41°C (106 °F)
Hard disck: 29°C (84°F)
Fan Speed: 1008-1013 rpm

Re: What creates lag?

Hmm, 222 in the menu, then I'm guessing you're getting <70 in-game?
