Serious lag issue.

[Retro091399]

Help! I really want to be able to play this game however I have an unbearable lag issue... I'm getting lag spikes all the time and the fps is very low.. I've never seen it go above the range of 1 - 35 FPS..

My laptop should be able to handle this no problem but unfortunately that's not the case.

I also would like to add that i've tried to turn off the multi core option as I saw another player saying this fixed their lag issue, however I had no luck.

I get crippling lag playing split-screen. It really doesn't require a lot of zombies to make the game slow down but when there are a lot of zombies (more than 20), it starts freezing for a second every couple of seconds.

That, and the whole game always starts lagging after about an hour of play, in both single player and mp.

The log seems just fine from what I can see, I expected to find the game using the integrated GPU instead of the dedicated one (common laptop issue), though it uses the correct card and everything. I do see that you have a lot of mods enabled though, does the game still lag after you disable all of the mods?

I disabled almost all my mods and there's a big improvement but the fps is all over the place, not sure which mod is causing the major lag but still this helped man thanks.

anything else you can suggest or provide any information regarding lag fixes for the game would be a massive help.

Lowering some of the settings in the bottom of the options like turning off "Skyboxes" or lowering the "Puddle Quality", lowering the game resolution can help a ton too. Other than that I dont know any magical FPS improvements personally, the FPS can tank pretty hard on a big resolution monitor no matter what graphics card you have.
