GRAW and Teamspeak Functionality Problems

[-{BH}-Mezmerizer]

Hi, my clanmate is having issues when GRAW is loaded while he's on teamspeak. When he loads up the game, he gets considerable teamspeak lag at the menu. We haven't tried playing the game with him yet, but he cant even understand us in teamspeak to get in properly. He doesn't have any problems with any other game, only when ghost is loaded, no-one else has a problem so it is not teamspeak. I know this game uses a good amount of upload bandwith and he does have wireless, but i figured that would be once he got on the game, not when he just gets it loaded up. He just bought a new computer so it got his temper goin, he was a bit ###### because the reason he upgraded was to play GRAW online with the clan. So ANY technical help would be appreicated.

GRAW utilizes almost 100% of the CPU. If your buddy has a dual core laptop, he should try to assign teamspeak to one of his cores and GRAW to the other. Otherwise, he should try messing with his teamspeak bandwidth settings or raising teamspeak to a higher priority for the CPU.

100% on a single core... 50% on a hyperthreading P4 or dual core.

Does your buddy have the latest patch... 1.35?

kk, now it's good in game, but in the menu and squad loadout, runs like crap, all in all, it's not THAT big, in game it's fine. Still if their's another solution out there it would be appreciated.

the dual core assigning did the trick

It could be Bandwidth upload, the hosting server could try turning down bandwidth.

Also look at his in TS settings, especially sound.

I had this problem too, I solved it by changing the sound settings in game from extreme to high, I'm guessing at extreme it uses all the channels on the soundcard leaving nothing for TS to use.

This isn't vista is it? if so you have to uncheck allow applications to have exclusive rights to the sound and mic settings.

Hey,

When he clicks the GRAW icon and it starts 2 load do ctrl+alt+delete and set GRAW.exe priority to normal. Try that.

he does have wireless

What kind of "wireless",as in "evdo" or something similar or a Satilite connection? I can tell you from experiance,that if he's on a Sat connection,TS doesnt like the latancey that comes with a SAT. connection.

Ive played [GR] on a Sat. Connection (coop) with little/playable "lag" ,BUT Teamspeak was "ears only for me",my transmissions were always broken,but I could hear fine,until my provider did an "upgrade",which by the way raise pings from 700-800 ms to 1000 plus ms.When the infamous "upgrade" took place [GR] became unplayable,and TS acted like your friends,I got broken transmissions.Hope this gives you an idea . Have him check his ping,and expect what I've state above,if they're in those ranges.

I can't comment on GRAW and "wireless" because I never bought or played the full version ,because four man coop just didnt cut it for me.I like to game with my whole team,not just three of our 10/11 members.

Check teamspeaks home page, download section. Some report the beta uses less cpu. You have to install the client then copy the beta exectuable into the teamspeak directory over top the old.
