Need Help

InFocus

Hello everybody... I first started to play CrossFire on Russian servers... I had ping 270 + and frames per second 40-60... Even tough I had high ping, I could still play the game smoothly... Now, I'm trying out West Coast server, I get ping of 80-100, and fps 15-30, even tough I have pretty low ping, I lag a lot because of low fps... Any ideas have to fix this??? I would aprreciate any help... I live in Washington state...
P/s Sorry for my English, I know it's far away from being perfect ))

I'm not sure where server is located exactly, but it's a russian version of crossfire, they finished open beta about 7 months ago... http://cfire.mail.ru/ I know I shouldn't post this ))

but if you play a russian version, why do you post on the NA forum then?

He wants to play NA version. But is having issues with ping/fps

On topic.

You probably should use gamebooster. Also posting your computer specs helps a lot also.

Don't know what NA means... You see, once again, I live in USA, Washington state, when I play on West coast server, I ger better ping, but low fps, and I lag because of the last one... On russian server I get VERY bad ping, but I get MUCH better fps than on West coast server, and I can play game smoothly, even tough I get killed a lot because of the high ping 270 +...

I tried all of those servers, alpha, bravo and so on, I get high ping, 200 + on all of them, except the west coast server...

o.O then you should probably get a better connection.

I'm using game booster... Can't tell the difference when I'm playing with or without it... My PC pretty old, but I don't think my old hardware is the reason of my problem, since I get such good fps on russian server... Anyhow, here are my specs:
