    Hey all

    When I play CoD5 either online or single player campaign I get lag when xfire is running in the background? I just thought maybe it was part of the game play that the first mission is played in slow motion but I guess not. I also closed everything down in the background (virus checkers) but still lagging even on single player.

    Any help would be appriciated;)

    On single player it sometimes lags and sometimes 10 mins later play smooth, any idea?

    Its actualy verry simple.
    If you get lag in single player campaign it is because your video card isn't strong enough and the only fix is update or simply change the resolution to a lower (800-600 woud be best) I know this kinda makes the game look less nice but it is tje final option.
    The second problem (online lag) is just as simple. here also turn the resolution down but if you still get lag open the console (button under esc) and type /rate 90000.

    Should fix it.

    Yeah, drop resolution and other graphics settings. If that doesn't help, consider upgrading your video card.

    changed res right down to lowest turn off zone alarm into game mode.sometimes it plays fine like other day reloaded few times i think directx is loaded.im using alienware area 51 8800 gtx 768meg graphics 2gig ram 2.7 ghz.
