Lag spikes because of effects?

[Sonicwylde]

I have  apretty decent machined, but recently been having a lot of "lag spiking" mainly centered around powers effects and the like? Is there a fix for this or do I just need to turn game settings down? I mean every other game I have I play with high to ultra settings. But seems to make this game spike like crazy

Sometimes it helps to enter the /sync  command. (I created a macro for that and a couple of others.)

A couple of times when the 'mapserve' pop-up comes on screen, I hit the sync command and a couple of others, and go back to the game. (Doesn't work every time, but I'd say 90%) I used to use them all the time on my old computer and they still work.

 

/macro GFX reloadgfx  (this dynamically reloads the graphics...your screen will go wonky for a few seconds, but it is is supposed to. Don't be alarmed)

 

/macro SYNC sync

 

/neterrorcorrection 1  (For better connection to server)

          or

/neterrorcorrection 2 

 

I really hope these work for others as well as they have for me when needed.
