    It's still laggy when I play without my internet cable in. Very strange, I really don't know why the latest patch would cause so much lag

    @justmeish1997 Could you repost your DxDiag now that you've updated the drivers ? Just run it again.

    Could you also check on your computers temperatur to make sure it's not overheating ? There's programs that you can use to monitor that.

    Also, try lowering your setting to medium-low to see if that makes a difference.

    @justmeish1997 It's really hard to tell. Your computer is overall a bit low in specs and with all the packs, that could just be the reason. On the other hand, there is a general lag issue.

    Do you have the sounds loops always or only when it starts to lag ?

    Thanks, I'll give this a go... I just found it very strange that it ran perfectly fine on medium graphics until the patch... I used to run it on high before university came out

    Ok, thanks... I'll just have to play on lower settings and in shorter bursts for now and hopefully it sorts itself out.

    Thanks again
