I've got the weirdest issue with a friend's comp. I've been buying and tweaking the crap out of mobile AthlonXP chips for over a year now. I love 'em, though they aren't all that amazing anymore.

I picked one up for him. He has a nice MSI nForce2 Ultra 400 board that he'd had a 2500+ in for a while. I put the mobile in and let her rip at 2.4GHz. Flawless stability in Prime95, etc. Perfectly stable. So I loaded up Guild Wars. I get to watch people teleport all over the screen instead of animate! They don't walk, they appear from spot to spot lol.

I figured out that it was the CPU. By clocking it down to 2GHz it would be fine. I tried different video cards and a different network card. I even tried taking a stick of RAM out. Everything is running stock except the CPU. It's the strangest thing I've ever seen! After searching this forum I saw that many others were sort of seeing this issue too, but not with my same hardware situation.

Any of you know what causes this teleportation? My last guess is that Windows is somehow messed up or he has some evil software in the background... I didn't get around to a Windows reinstall but did reinstall chipset and video drivers. He has a Geforce 6600GT.

Is this where things are disappearing and reappreaing on the map?
If this is the case I would suspect it's more of a lag issue / server synch issue.

Try turning down the graphic settings and see if other programs are using the open network connection, such a p2p or other programs running in the background.

Teleporting for me is 2 things. Wireless network and server side. Server side you'd know if you were playin with other people just ask if any of them gettin same thing. Not sure if what you mean by teleport is when it looks like you're walking, and then you appear back where you were 5 sec ago (almost like you're stuck to wall or somethin)

Sounds like lag and server desynch. More explanations here:
