♫♫Some simple tips to make you gameplay sm☺☺ther ♫♫♫
**This Guide is about what I have found out, it may not be neccessery true**
2 Main things contribute to the smoothness of gameplay.
Our ping/latency and FPS/Frames Per Second.
High Ping=Bad
Low FPS=Bad

High ping and low FPS both causes lagg. There are many ways we can improve our FPS and reduce our Latency
Increase your FPS:
1. Clean your computer regularly.
http://www.ccleaner.com/
2. Defrag your system and registry.
http://www.liutilities.com/
3. Use a gamebooster.
http://www.iobit.com/gamebooster.html
Important
4. Update your graphic card drivers
To know what graphic card you have use GPU-Z software, http://www.techpowerup.com/downloads/SysInfo/GPU-Z/
Driver downloads:
Nvidia card users:
http://www.nvidia.com/Download/index.aspx?lang=en-us
Ati card users:
http://support.amd.com/us/gpudownload/Pages/index.aspx
5. Nvidia users:
Set your perfomance slider to "perfomance". to find you perfomance slider go to
Control Panel\Appearance and Personalization\Nvidia control panel
then on the left hand side: Adjust image settings with preview, the adjust the slider to "perfomance" side
**I changed mine from quality to perfomance, my fPS changed from 30-45 to 60-150!
ATI users visit:
http://ati.amd.com/products/catalyst/top10-1.html for tips to increase FPS and overall computing
6. Use softwares such as Tune-up Utilities to tune your computer etc
7. Restart your computer!, continouse use of PC forlong time increases system load and decreases FPS significantly
***Ping***
unfortunately, there isnt much we can do about reducing ping, but there follwing will help:
1. Play on the closest server.
http://forum.subagames.com/viewthread.php?tid=442050&extra=page%3D1
2. Get better internet connection. Cable connection preferable for lower pings but really good ADSL2+ ISP's can give lower and really stable pings.
E.G- My lowest ping is 102 with Virgin media(UK), a cable internet provider. BE*(UK), ADSL2+ ISP can give 104-108 ping which is quite stable.
3.Never use wireless for gaming!.
I have tested it, even with "N" technology, you get laggspikes!!. Go wired for gaming.
Thats about it really...
Hope this helps.

Using Cfosspeed also works for lower ping.
When using wireless, your ping might be same but actuall spot of your enemy may vary so your shhoting may not be accurate enough as wired. An ethernet cable is much more stable and can carry more data to provide more accurate position on the enemy.
Also other electricals can interfere with wireless connection. -
there's more you should add to the guilde. such as to help your ping there's a bunch of things you need to look out for.
-don't download anything while playing cf (movies, music, po.rn, anti virus updates/vista updates ect)
try to be the only device hooked on your network (ps3,failbox,dsi,psp ect,cellhpones,other laptops and desktops,
if you're on wireless don't play near: fridges,microwaves,fans, air conditioners, wireless headsets ect.
cable, wireless no difference (ping wise) if you're close to the source and have followed these steps. -

after you find it make a sub-key with this name: "AlwaysUnloadDLL" and set Value 1.
final step: restart Windows.
after you done this hit alt+ctrl+del and you should have no more than 22 processes running.
make sure you defragment your dard drives once/week(my computer/local disk(c)/properties/tools/defragment now.../defragment).
if you use msn or yahoo messenger, antivirus, bittorrent(or any downloading program) make sure you disable them while playing.
BTW win xp - the best operating system so far.
