Try disabling any background programs you don't need.

Look under "Limit how many programs run at startup".

Yeah i do the same for WIndows XP, I disable all the Startup programs and it helps truly a lot for me.

its still lagging

You could try increasing the priority level too. There's a good thread on how to increase a program's priority level here.

I still have problems with multiplayer. The offset runs up to 13000 and goes back to 0 in about 30 seconds and that happens multiple times a race.
Please help me because i want to ride online so bad

Does the game actually freeze for 13 seconds or are you just getting a very low frame rate?

[jasper125]

its just a very low frame rate but i dont know if it is the conection that lags or my graphics. I have an geforce gts250 512mb ram graphics card so that should be good

When the track loads, it will say how much texture memory is used in the chat console. If it's over 512 MB, it will swap textures to system memory which will cause a lot of lag.

To reduce the memory used, try turning down "Model Texture Detail". When there are a lot of players using 2048x2048 skins you could easily go over 512 MB. You should also keep "Ground Texture Resolution" at or below 128x128.

i lowered it to 27 mb and it still shoots up the ms off set

[jasper125]

I just spend 40 euro for nothing. If i had an cracked version i would have the same because i cant ride online because off the fucking lag. Im getting sick and tired of it

[jlv]

What does it say under "driver info" on the graphics/sound setup screen?

Does the frame rate stay smooth when you watch these demos?

Might be a stupid question, but do you have shaders enabled? if so, turn them OFF, they make me get a bad frame rate, so maybe that's what your problem is...
