Team Speak the culprit of lag with low ping and good PC

[easy2468]

I've been really frustrated lately with the lag issues in insurgency and was just about to give up the game. It wasn't full blown lag, it was that random lag spike about every 20 seconds that gets u killed. That doesn't fly with me. Anyways, i said to hell with insurgency and downloaded Red Orchestra. I noticed when I started Red Orchestra with out Team Speak 3 it ran smooth as butter. With Team Speak on it was unplayable. So i turned off Team Speak for Insurgency and sure enough smooth as butter. I would have never thought Team Speak would be a problem because it hasn't slowed down any other games. These were the only 2 games that Team Speak has EVER conflicted with. For me at least.

Interestingly enough, I didn't know this before, the devs of Red Orchestra are the same devs of Insurgency. Coincidence?

I would MUCH rather have TS3 running on my PC, but for now i got it on my phone and thats fine with me. Hope this help.

I've never heard of teamspeak doing this, mine runs fine with it up. Interesting.

Also, one of the Insurgency developers worked on the original Red Orchestra. ;D

Also, I started Team Speak and didn't connect to any Team Speak servers and it still made both games laggy.

I have not experienced any of this. It works, seems too, flawlessly. In the entire time, that I've used TS2&3, I've never experienced lag in game. However, my TS3 server and Insurgency game server are located 100 miles from me. They are both hosted by separate entities.

My group does not use in game comms. The problems experienced by others could be due to many other variables? Just my opinion....

Ya, this could just be an individual problem. One of those weird little hic-ups my PC has. The reason i though it was odd was because it effected/affected (forgot witch word is right lol) Red Orchestra and Insurgency, both developed by the same peeps.

The two games are not developed by the same people.

oh really? I stand corrected. Theres multiple places on the web that says Jeremy Blum, the CEO of NWI, was apart of Red Orchestra. I should have looked more into i though, i only looked at one article that said multiple devs from Red Orchestra are working on Insurgency.

BTW thanks for the reply. I am really excited about Insrugency and i think i has a lot of potential.

Are you guys looking into this though?

I re-installed team speak and selected "only for me" instead of "for all users". This seemed to fix it to where i can have TS in the background and it doesn't lag the games.

Good to know and Thanks for passing on the tip Tron. :)

Awesome.

I have to say though. lol it isnt very cool that all the dev said was "The two games are not developed by the same people". He could have gave some suggestion or thoughts about what was going on with Team Speak. I mean, I know I porbably shouldnt brought up the relationship between RO and INS, but come on. No biggie im just glad i got it working. Just sayin.
