I get major lag in COD2.

wtcnbrwndo4u · September 30th, 2006

I don't know why, but since yesterday, COD2 lags horribly. It goes from around 45FPS all the way down to sub-15. I hate it. It averages around 30-35FPS, which I can deal with. But this is unbearable. I looked at Task Manager while the game was running. There were a couple of processes stealing my CPU usage. Arg!

The biggest hog is System Idle Process. I have no CLUE what's going on. I'm not running anything intensive. I have AIM, iTunes, and BitComet running. I'm running BitComet so I can get that FEAR Extraction demo (damn slow net connection) and so I download when I play SP games. There's other random stuff running the background too. but nothing that should kill the computer.

:(

Help? Here's a screenshot of Task Manager.

^ This one was while I was playing.

System Idle Process does not actually use CPU resources, it shows the amount of free resources.

Those two resource hogging processes apear to be malware

Yeah, that's definately possible. I haven't run a scan in forever.

Run HIJACKTHIS and get rid of those suckers.

Do I delete all three (mswinup.exe, winsvcup.exe, winupsvc.exe)?

Are you using hijack this? Find out exactly what they are before deleting them. As much as they are a nuisance, using your resources, you don't want to be removing any files that are vital to your system.

Yeah, I was planning to. According to that site, they're all spyware. I think.

Then it should be alright. You might want to run a spyware scanner like Spybot S&D or Ad-Aware first before running Hijackthis.

Nothing of those are vital.

It takes the confusion out of the whole ordeal. Don't go overboard.
