I tried to disable direct play but I could not find it in the firewall menu. I did find the version 12 of directx installed but it does not have the option to disable. Mind explaining how you did it? I googled but couldn't find anything helpful.
While we appreciate players trying to assist other players in tech forums, if you are seeking a resolution yourself for a problem, it's best to create a new thread.
Back to the OP:
The game requires directx and the version of directx is decided by the operating system itself. Since you are using windows 10, it most likely will be version 12. The news here is that the version of your directx has no impact on your game play.
From what you have explained so far, it appears to be a hardware lag (as opposed to a network issue). This need not necessarily imply poor hardware. Firewall can also be a crucial factor at times. I would therefore recommend the following:
Start the game in single player mode from within Voobly and check for frame rates (Alt F5). The number after the first comma (,) is your frame rate. Higher the frame rate, lesser the lag. Usually lag free games will have 60+ frames per sec or 60fps. If this number is below 30, or frequently drops below this threshold, then you can be sure you have a hardware issue (aka your machine is not capable of handling the load).
If the frame rate is normal, you should then run a test on a full fledged 4v4 game and check for frame rate again. You are more likely to see a dip here. 4v4 games are more taxing and therefore your GPU (if you have one) will try to compensate the demand by lowering the performance (i.e. by dropping the frame rate).
If you have narrowed down the problem to be the above, then there is not much to be done except switching to your dedicated GPU (if you have one and aren't using it yet) or tweaking it to meet your requirements. Systems that do not have a dedicated GPU will use the on board RAM as buffer instead. This means you should consider closing all other apps when running the game on Voobly (including apps running in the background) so that you have enough free memory whilst in game.
If frame rate is optimal and you are still lagging, I would suggest uninstalling your firewall and antivirus program (for testing) and see if it makes a difference. You can reinstall them after you are done testing. Thereafter, it may be a good idea to add Voobly and the game to your application exception list (if you haven't already).
Good luck
1. Uninstall 3rd party anti virus (reboot)
2. Disable windows update through services, update manually on a daily basis then disable again
3. Disable Microsoft Direct Play in win firewall advanced settings (tcp/udp) forcing your pc to use windows directx 12 and will post you exact game settings on voobly. I have the hd version not 100% about the cd version but should be similar if the lag is being caused by by a compatibility conflict between directx 9 and directx 12
4. My game settings on voobly that are checked:
a) Resolution tool: force desktop resolution in game, Disable resolution warning, command bar position:user patch
b) DirectX: start in windows mode, advanced features: Lock cursor inside game window
c) Windows compatibility: Disable display scaling on high dpi settings, Run as admin
Once again admins im sorry to butt in but his problems are so similar to mine its worth him trying these simple fixes and this is coming from someone whos uninstalled OS and game several times and tried every fix that was recommended
Your antivirus/ firewall/ antimalware applications may be blocking access to your game and/ or ports which can also cause lags. This is why I suggested a complete uninstall of your security app. Once you have affirmed that the issue is related to your security app, you can then proceed to add exceptions and or add specific outgoing exception rules within your app to allow full access to the game and Voobly.
Last but not the least if your security apps are blocking access to Voobly and/ or the game itself, you will have trouble connecting to the players possibly even fp to some players.
I still suspect this is a frame rate issue since you did mention that you have no problems connecting to players in your game room and have good ping values from all. So long story short, stick to my prior suggestion.
Good luck
I have tried doing what you suggested but to no avail. My fps in 4v4 is 58-62 and is absolutely smooth even in large battles and high pop. I already mentioned this at the very start of this thread and said that I am sure there is no hardware issue. I have also added the exception to firewall (windows defender) but still no difference.
XZIKX: Hey thaks again for your assistance. I could only find Microsoft direct helper, is this the one you taking about?
Apparently the lag was occurring due to the update of NVIDIA Geforce graphics card which still has issues with directx 12. So I changed the settings to use the local intel graphics card instead of NVIDIA to run the game and it's running smooth as ever.
Hopefully this will help out others having similar issues.
