Ill try to tell you how to fix...
(is this internet or the computer... ill tell you how to fix both)
1. If any one else on internet tell 'em to fuck off
2.if you can, set computer to high or maximum peformance
3.put the settings down (textures, effects, resolution)
4.Get"Tune Up 2010", you just click "Turbo mode" and your computer speeds up
5.
a.Open task manager
b.right click "the game you are playing.exe"
c.click "priority"
d.click "highest"
If that doesn't work you need a new internet connection & computer
PS: the priority thing doesn't work for crossfire because of all its anti-hack crap
EDIT: yes i did read the other posts i just thought i could TRY to help some1...
