I am not very techy so I have a question for those that are. What is the best way to reduce LAG? I have decent internet and even hardwired my system instead if using WIFI. I uninstall the game and saved files occasionally as well. I just keep getting my ass handed to me lately because of lag issues. Can some one lend a hand? |

Frames per second |

Some times it's soooooo bad my character barely even renders into the screen and I see enemies coming but can't move to shoot them LOL |

With that said, there are a few things that can be done (which have been stated in other threads):
In game:
- Reduce chat channels
- Reduce contact list
- Remove e-mails (no longer applicable since the game will wipe all mails over 30 days)
- Reduce number of Loadouts
- Cleanup your inventory (sell of all the junk you never use, or trade it)
PS3 generic:
- Keep good ventilation around your PS3
- Defrag your HDD
- Uninstall / Reinstall Dust.
- Make sure you have not filled your HDD, or have very little space left.
These are just a few points which I believe helps (note: not fix) the problems.
Personally I tend to keep my merc quarters very tidy. I sold off assets for 20 mil to the vendor at one point, and with Warlords and the warbarge your inventory will increase more rapidly than before. I only have a few chat channels on at any time, and clean my e-mail almost daily (delete all is a lovely feature). I also installed a Seagate Momentus XT 750Gb hybrid drive with 8Gb of SSD. The drive is also 7500rpm.
As stated, I never get FPS issues. Even in the supposedly dreaded Gallente "lag" facility.
Hope that helps
Cool thanks. Was thinking of getting an SSD but wasn't sure if it was worth it. I will take your advice and sell all load outs not being used and reduce my suit selection as well. I just hate getting stomped due to not being able to turn and shoot someone's face off LOL |

How much did the drive cost? I found a 480GB SSD for about 150 bucks |

The PS3 only have a SATA-1 interface, so it's no use to go overboard with SATA-III (even if they are compatible) Just make sure it has at least 8GB of SSD. As stated before, I have the Seagate Momentus XT 750 GB which is quite old right now, but it works like a sharm. http://www.seagate.com/staticfiles/docs/pdf/datasheet/disc/momentus-xt-retail-ds1746-1-1011-us.pdfYou can probably pick up a used one for almost nothing.
So is that an external drive or is does it go where you would be replacing the PS3 drive? I guess I can youtube it. |

Gottcha. Found one for 70 bucks. Now just need $70 LOL |
