i just bought my joy book P53 recently and wanna play call of duty 4...why is it so lag even i using optimal settings that is recommended by cod4?
wat setting shud i be using??thanks

Well, optimal settings usually means the best for your graphic/processer.

Best also usually means what it says.

What i recommend you doing is eventually reducing your resolution to at least 800x600.
There may be other tweaks to the settings, like turning off shadows, bullet holes and ragdoll effects.
Disable Anti-Aliasing and also Filtering.

Usually if your laptop is good enough, it generally only needs resolution tuning, just by lowering it the performance increases. Try these out first, any other console command will only reduce the visual detail, which might reduce your overall satisfaction of the game. So before i go there, try the settings above first

i tried 800X600 and its better.however its still abit spike and lag...any solution of my problems??i not really wan to waste $$ for buying that game...hehe
thx crashtec...

Do you plan on playing online? If so, maybe you could try the following first...

open console

type

r_drawdecals 0
r_lodscalerigid 4
r_drawsun 0
cg_brass 0

com_maxfps 125
texture settings, manual, all low or normal.
graphic settings, all low.

Heh, it's somehow possible to tweak the setting to look something like this


I have no idea how it's done. If you can do it, it'll solve all your lagging issue (other than ISP problem).

LOL PIXEL POWA~

try these.

r_desaturation 0
r_specularcolorscale 0
r_normalmap 0 //
r_smc_enable 0
r_multigpu 1
r_distortion 0
sc_enable 0
sm_enable 0
r_dlight_limit 0
dynent_active 0
snaps 30
cl_maxpackets 100
rate 25000
cg_nopredict 0
g_antilag 1
r_drawdecals 0
r_lodscalerigid 4
r_drawsun 0
cg_brass 0

these also include commands for online play, basically reduces everything to almost nothing

errr.... isn't that setting redundant if the TS isn't running on SLI/crossfire cards?

hey hey,this is my 1st time playin cod le...so shud type at where those settings*??????haha
anyway,thx for help

Kinda hard to recognise that map... is it Overgrown? The fuel container was sort of a giveaway.

he removed most of the textures, prolly renamed the texture files, i doubt its possible to do that by cvars

If you don't have a decent graphic card (or u are using integrated graphics) then you might lag when playing COD.

Before I install my current graphic card (ATI HD4670) I was using integrated graphics. When I was playing COD4 it was like.. lagging like hell... Even 800x600 will lag seriously...

But then now I am using my graphic card, even if i use highest resolution with maximum graphics quality everything is so smooth and nice. I can even play Devil May Cry 4 with max settings smoothly.

Juz my 2 cents
