I think some of you remember that I have posted in here, but I will do it again.
My specs:
Microsoft Windows XP
512 RAM
2.40 GHz Intel® Celeron®
nVidia GeForce 4 MX 440 with AGP8X Graphics Card
Problem:
Few months ago, I came back to Freelancer Discovery.I started playing , and everything was going well, until I went to Connecticut for some PvP.
I found myself outturned alot of times, and I got killed alot.And still am being killed..
I was, and still am very good at PvP combat on vanilla servers.On Disco, its a different story.First, when I joined Order| official faction , I was whining all the time about my skills, and I posted many times about this problem, but didn't got it solved.I used Nephthys, and I got killed alot of times.I tried to use my old Eagle , same story.
The thing is, I can't land any shot.My opponent`s ship is jumping all over my screen and I'm outturned/outgunned alot of times.I tried to do different resolutions , and it even gets worse.I always go back to the vanilla servers, and everything goes well.I come back to Discovery, and I'm pissed off for getting killed 20 times in a row in Connecticut.
I thought it was lag, but my modem and internet runs perfectly fine.I was told by someone to check FPS, but didn't do it.
I hope someone can help me fix this problem thats annoying me.I know I am better in PvP, but can't show it with this kind of problem.
I think the problem here is related to your connection, rather than your PC.
Where do you live? What is your ping, lag, loss? Do you use a wireless router or one that uses satellite, rather than cable?

PSA: If you have been having stutter/FPS lag on Disco where it does not run as smoothly as other games, please look at the fix here: https://discoverygc.com/forums/showthrea...pid2306502

Or more likely 2: You're encountering good PvPer's.
You say you're being out turned alot. Do you know any of these terms? Gliding, Anchor Turn, and Boxing? If not perhaps you are simply being out maneuvered by skilled opponents.
I was having problem with high fluct on disco for past two weeks and it caused me heavy problems to fight...
Have you also tried going to your task manager whether you are not having 100% CPU usage by any chance? I remember that was a problem when 4.86 came out, dont know whether its still around or was fixed.
My normal ping is 300, and I have the same trouble in landing shots with snubcraft. The solution I found was to use only gunboat and bigger and fly with zoomed out turret steering. I know, it sucks, but well...
