So this is one of my favorite RTS Games, only problem is it lags? Alot!!! For some reason it lags on my system with 8 people playing on a skirmish it starts off fast and slowly starts diminshing, the start menu loads fast when i hit the ESC button and closes fast, but its liek the gameplay lags and then stops andresumes normal and it repetivly does that, its so annoying, my systems specs Deff kill that game

What settings do you have that game on. Try easing back and see if that helps. I love C&C as well but when those 8 Team Skirmishes are going full tilt lags will occur. (I wish they had mor 8 team maps)

Haha i did it didnt do anything and i have a decent comp that can play crysis at decent frames on medium high. so theres no reason why command and conquer lags like taht... and i have tried setting back all settings to all low and it doesnt matter
