How much ram do you have in your PC? I can see it being an issue with the amount of memory.

The problem could also be coming from your hard drive. You should try testing it with Crystal Info which is free.

Also, you might want to check out the performance tab in your task manager right after you quit the game to see what ressources are being used the most.

the ram is 64gb , the speed of the hard drive is 3200 mb/s like the specs of it , i tested with game cossacks 3 no lag on desktop, on cs 1.6 no lag, on company of heroes 2 no lag (on desktop) not in game, its really weird, and when i play cs 1.6 and close it after i open it, the lag is gone

64 GB is a lot of ram, are you sure it's really 64GB?

Also, hard drive speed of 3200 mb/s doesn't make any sense. Have you tested your hard drive using Crystal Info or another tool?

Have you checked your task manager to see what ressources are being taken when the lag is present?

It would also be easier if you posted your entire system specs.

Can't help you if you won't try the things suggested.
