I know what you mean.
I didn't remove any textures.
My computer was always fast and my internet speed was always decent for Combat Arms
At the best, I used to play 7v7 games on Roadkill with MSN and AVG on without lag.
Now, with every nonwindows process off and CA at 16bit, lowest quality, everything
after i've reset my internet and improved it, as well as improved my computer speed.
It's laggy like hell...
