Recently when i've been playing il2 my PC seems to take ages to load and I get quite a bif og lag when playing on some of the DF servers and co-ops....i've lowered my settings alot from what they used to be but I still get low fps at time.My question is....is it a sign of il2 becoming more powerful or does my PC just need everything wiped and started again?

PS-If it needs a clean up what's the safest/quickest/easiest idiot proof way to do one?

Clean out all those Temporary internet files,cookies and the IL2 net cache, then de-frag.

I also recently set my sound in IL2 to "safe DirectX" settings.

All of the above have helped speed things up a bit on my rig.

Thanks Sneaky , i'll try those.

Also I'm having problems connecting to certain servers recently beacuse of time outs.Never had this before but dearly hope I can get it sorted before the co-op tmw...

Anyone got any suggestions?

i have same with BF2...

and sometimes even windows is laggy, i wonder if the CPU is not overheated or Hdd is not about to die...

clean up some space, did the defrag, move the folder of mailbox to another disc (few GB), maybe i will use also some register cleanup/optimizer...

Ad-aware, to remove spyware: http://www.lavasoftusa.com/software/adaware/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

Spybot search & destroy, same stuff:

Ewido anti-malware, also same. Pretty slow scanspeed here, but can usually find some "ie-cache", even if you dont use IE. http://www.ewido.net/en/download/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

With RegCleaner you can get rid of all unwanted registry information, remove programs from startup etc. http://www.worldstart.com/weekly-downlo ... ner4.3.htm" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

Dr.Delete. I havent tried this, but I heard its pretty good. With it you can remove the "you cant romeve this file because some other software uses it"-files. http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark, ... ~mode=flat" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

Just to name a few

I use AD-AWARE, then disk cleanup. I also defrag at least once a week. cheerz!
