YO, I hav one of those uber-fast conneections, but RTCW still runds
pretty slow, and it freezes a lot especially on games where there are
lots of players. Can this be helped? How can I get a faster
connection?

Low ping good
High ping bad.

Make sure you're connection is set to DSL or whatever you got and not modem.

Make sure you are actually getting the bandwidth you think you should
be getting with your connection. Test it before you launch the game.
Make sure no other services are running on your connection (like other
people in your house using the connection the same time you are).

NO I think its not my connection if low ping is good. Its just my
computer. Anyhow, I got some video card forceware and also made all
the setting in the game at fastest with shittiest graphics, and
turning off timers and all unnecessary graphics except for that of my
gun. IT works a lot better now but any more advice would help.

Thanks anyway though

Why don't give us some specs of your hardware so we can help better.

In the meantime get rid of any spy ware and stuff like that because it uses
bandwidth that you can spend in a better way.

Why are you replying to me? I don't have the problem.

I don't have any spyware, as I use Linux. Not a bad idea for the OP to
check on, though.

You need at least 512 MB ram if you are running WIn XP

The game runs pretty fine now. For some reason it goes faster on DSL
than it does cable. FOr some reason it jsut doesnt get as choppy
anymore
