I've seen a few help topics like this one but mine only relates to In-Game lag not lagging offline or just on windows itself.
When I play Call of Duty 2 online every few seconds there's a lag spike, but my ping is fine. I guess it's more of a skip, the sound skips as well it happens about every 3 seconds and in a pattern not at random. Which makes it really annoying and hard to ignore when playing. This also happened a few times when playing America's Army but not as much. Sometimes the game is fine though last night i was playing fine but I went on a few hours ago and it wouldn't go away.
I also have Medal of Honor and it doesn't happen at all with that game.
It's not my system my specs are:
-256mb PCI-E graphics
-1.5 GB ram
-320 GB of HDD
-ATI Mobo
-Windows XP Pro sp2
Again this only happened recently, it happened with BF2 a while ago but I uninstalled that ages ago. And I haven't installed any new software since this started occuring again. Just ran a virus scan and it comes back clean.
Thanks for your help COD2 is a great game and hopefully ill be able to get back into the action.
