Before i post it i need to ask if i should remove my machines ID or not? 

 

 

Just to be safe, yeah. If you want to take an extra step of safety, you can PM me directly with the file instead of posting it in the thread; I assure you our users' privacy and security is our top priority, so nothing bad will happen with it that way 😃

Well, glad this whole problem is resolved. Maybe i'll see some of you ingame?

just could we know what the problem has been actually.. so if someone else gets the same problem we know how to solve it? No Details , just the general 🙂 .

 

And happy Playing.

Well, GM Impervium was really helpful but everything kept not working. So i thought to myself "maybe i have another program that is active that might be causing the problem". and after some trial and error then yep that was the cause. The program had recently updated to where it was always on and that was causing the issue (not AV or firewall). 

 

Now i'm wondering why there is such massive lag in the game. Yeah, i don't have a gaming computer but my computer i was playing CoH back then on wasn't either and i never had a lag issue.  As i said before i'm not really a tech savy person but i'm thinking the issue there is that either something is wrong on our IP at where i live since we are not getting the upload/download rates we should be getting according to my roommate or its a server issue (which CoH had back then from time to time).

said lag instead of game. In other words a typo.

Ask ur roommate (if hes more tech savy) if u can use a different dns provider for your router.. mostly lag is caused by a bad node on ur route to server... if it was the servers many players would have the issue. Also if u use W-Lan try to plug in a cable instead.

 

Background programs that steals attention could be too the issue.. if that was already why the game didnt start up it could be the problem for this too.

 

Coh is so old that u could run it on Smartphones by now, so the power of your PC prolly is not the issue.

I will likely try to plug a cable in when i get the chance to see if that helps. Trying to get my roommate for any sort of technical help is pretty pointless since they always say 'look it up yourself" or some variant of it (which is frustrating since i hardly ever ask anything of them). They're only bothering with it a little now because they remote in to their job now.

Problem is that i don't know which problems to close/end and which ones are required to run. Some of the answers i get from googling them make me unsure about whether to leave them running or not/

Its not that big of a problem, just close em one by one. If u run into a problem after u closed one, just restart comp and it will be there again, there is not much risk into that, just time consuming.

What program was causing the issue?  I am having the same problem.
