Okay...This may end my Dtr2 career so some of you may want that and not help if you know. But my game is lagging? Never done it before...Im not warping or lagging to others, I am fine...Its just MY game, It does it OFFline also? Some how I won a race today in the laggy crap but I wont run no more til this is fixed..Thought maybe it was the track but i went into browser and changed track and went to single player offline and they all do it.. I deleted some skins..tracks..still doing it....So if any of you know. shoot me a message here..Thanks - JFR 4H

It might just be your computer. Something somewhere in it changed and its affecting your game. I wouldn't know what or where to begin though.

My guess is your video card took a crap,
If its intigrated on the mother board then its typical, if its external like a video card or aftermarket type easy fix just replace it,
Check it with the side cover off and see if the fans turning, pretty common for the fan to quit then they run hot and and skip.

If it the intigrated type, you can buy a aftermarket video install it into a spare slot AGP or PCI or PCI EXPRESS make sure you know what you need before you buy one. you will need to disable your on board video card in your bias(CMOS) your new card will plug n play.

To make sure that the video card went bad you might want to check it out go here www.futuremark.com/
download the free version of 3DMark 11 you can use the 06 version it works great to. this will test your Video card to the max.
Years ago this test was called Mad Onion almost all serious gammers use this to mark thier speeds and frame rates to keep there system top knotch.

dang if u aint a smart ol fart karl...lol. i say it all the time u r my inspiration 2 keep playin this game b/c of my age and ppl callin me geezer and ol fart, but u got me beat by uh just a few years . seriously, tho i'm glad we have helpful ppl like yourself in our community. thx, man!

karl ima try the video card thing out when i see you in vent, flyer messed around an noticed this was spiking....is it normal or could this be the problem,i closed everything and used enditall....it still kept doing it...heres a screen shot....

This computer is my DTR2 computer.6gb ram...No music files or anything....

just few tracks,skins,few sets, teamviewer, dtr2, yahoo. vent, and thats it...

i know it's silly but try search & destroy, helps registry errors and bogus files. And i love and think everyone should be using Ccleaner. I have been using ccleaner for years and years. Gets rid of registry errors and old history, cache, cookies and all that jazz. It may not fix your bug but it helps more then people think. if that doesnt work and you find that you do need a video card let me know what type of slot you have. I have a top-of-the-line card from a few years back still in box. For pci-e i do believe. i will send it for shipping costs if you need man. If you have an older pc you can goto walmart and get one for less then 50. Good one for 80 on older pc's. ANd damn kalr. i havent heard of mad onion in years

Thanks Rain, Ima take it to the computer place beside me in the morning and let him look and see what i need. Hopefully catch Karl in vent tonight to get a lil info...Pics are starting to freeze on screen and icons looking blurry..I hope it is just video card or a bug..Doesnt matter either way I will get it took care of...Would video card being shitty make the PC usuage go up?
