Project Reality Jerkiness/Pauses

[stix45]

I've played Project Reality for at least a month and lately theres been alot of random
small 1 to 2 second pauses and some random jerkiness.

My computer has a good video card and i have no lag with everything on high can
someone tell me how to make it stop?

Have you tried disabling your anti virus?

Have you tried disabling your anti virus?

Does that usually lead up to that happening??

[Gore]

I used to have those pauses/lag you speak of, until I tried disabling my AV, which was Bullguard in this case, and the issue disappeared.

Not usually, but sometimes. It's worth a try (obviously, be sure to not do any other internet activity while your anti-virus is off). Edit: Gore ninja'd me.

Would you post your system specs and operating system, too?

Are you sure it's hardware problems and not the internet connection? Does it happen on singleplayer, too?

My anti-virus is Norton and my PC Specs are:

Windows 7 (64-bit)
AMD Athlon(tm) ii X2 240 processor 2.80 ghz
Nvidia Geforce GT 610 (2 GB Ram)

And it happens in both Co-op and Multiplayer.

If you have PR isntalled ona HDD and not a SSD, you need to defrag your HDD where PR is installed.

I had this as well last night after updating to 0.981, never happened before. Nothing's changed on the PC regarding software or hardware.

I'll try reinstalling it today

I can tell you about my experience.
I used to lag when my pc was overheated. I found a solution for it now it doesn't anymore..

Defragging made it worse. A reinstall seems to have done nothing to fix it either.

Well i reinstalled it so far every map is ok but the only map i have to say that has the most jerkiness and pauses in Lashkar Valley

Anyone have any solutions on stopping these pauses? On Battle of Quilling i have more pauses than usual.
