After they released the patch it has gone terrible downhill for my cpu, could normally run with all gfx on and it would still be quite playable, rightnow i lag so much i cant stick people at the lowest gfx possbile, cleaned my cpu for adware and viruses but it just get worse and worse... Ruins the game cuz u cant kill some1 when they can run away from u at normal run speed..

3 GHz Intel pentium 4
512 MB DDR ram
Geforce ti-200 or 300, honestly dont remember ..

Cant see what the patch changed that could cause this but their socalled performance improvement..

How much HDD space have you got available?
Also have you tried that check files thing on the updater maybe patch didnt download correctly for whatever reason.
Check what temp your CPU is running at, this has odd effects on the way it performs (Altho i have only seen it crash things out rather than just lag)
With a spec like that i cant see anything else that could be wrong.

Hmm, strange.. At me game stopped lagging at all with 1.69 even with FSAA 4x and Aniso 4x on. Similar performance boost at guildies.

Try defragment your harddisc imo :/

Performance only got better for me in 1.69. As Chronic suggested it might be a heat related issue (cpu fan going slower than it should, cooling paste dried out, something blocking airflow in the cabinet etc), but if it started just as the patch came it sounds like an odd coincidence.

Yea it might be caused by the heating in this weater.. Its normally runs about 47 degrees when i do nothing.. usually not this bad but the weather dont really help :> Guess ill try investing in a new cooler :> Cpu is brand new and jsut defraged so...
