There are lots of threads out there with ideas and suggestions. Search the forums for "gw.dat" or "contig" to find a few related discussions.

I have found, as of late, my gw.dat file was extremely fragged. I did 2 things: Used contig to defrag the file to 2 chunks. Installed new sound card drivers and brought sound quality in GW options down a tad.

I noticed a big improvement in general video lag, stuttering, and load times, as well as FPS. Unfortunately, I still experience bad pings.

Hope it helps (at least a bit )

I have been experiencing lag a lot lately too, but more on one account than another. My account that is only Prophesies has very little lag problem. The account that has all 3 campaigns lag alot. I can play the first account for 3 or 4 hours with minimal lag and then log right on to the 2nd account and fight lag spikes while playing. It sucks to be in the middle of a heated battle and either I lag out or the guy I am with lags out. By lag out, I mean 007 clear to log in screen.
