[Problems] Dell XPS L502X

[Kernel1.0]

That of getting caught loading a map happened to me for a season on my pc and I came to the conclusion that it was the graphics drivers, I changed them and it stopped happening. By the way, see if you have pending updates for the network card drivers and other motherboard stuff. But we have no idea xD.

[SeLDeN]

I used Driver Genius Pro and updated all the drivers… the one for the nVidia card is also the latest (updated this month)… I suppose the only way to change the drivers is by changing the card, right? and… shouldn't this happen to me when playing offline too? :S

If you, with all your knowledge of the subject, have no idea… what's left for me xD, come on! I need your help! haha

[Kernel1.0]

If it happened to you before updating the graphics drivers and it still happens with others, it won't be that.
I assure you that it only happened to me when I loaded the games to see if it gets stuck because the Internet connection loses packets (I say this just to say something), but hell I don't have much computer knowledge, I'm just here to troll.:troll:

There may be a conflict between the sound card and punkbuster, which is why it only happens online.
The tests would be to update drivers (you already did that)
disable sound from bios (I don't know if it's possible on your laptop)
play on servers without punkbuster

Kernel, I think I have the same problem as you (how did you solve it? any clues?), it might be packet loss or something like that, but I've noticed that in other games (lighter than CoD) there are also these kinds of "lags" where the sound is processed and the mouse moves in huge jerks... but that only lasts a few seconds (at most, five seconds, enough for me to get killed lol) and then it goes back to normal. With CoD it's the same... but it gets permanently frozen, with the horrible constant sound CHEEERREERREERREERREERREE (literal translation lol).

I tried playing on servers without Pb and the same thing happened (amazing, I didn't know that so many hackers could play at the same time)... the sound card (managed by Realtek) is updated to its latest version... How do I disable it? What would I achieve with this other than playing deaf?

Thanks

Man, if you disable the sound card (if it's possible) you can make sure it's not some kind of incompatibility, you would go into the BIOS and look if the on board audio can be disabled.
If you play connected by Wifi start by playing connected by cable you will notice it, for there to be a data loss that affects the loading of games you would have to have a very very poor connection.
While you're disabling things turn off all the crap that manufacturers put on laptops and are eating resources in the background (except for the antivirus and the firewall of course). Run an online antivirus just in case you have some kind of bug and to check the connection try doing a couple of "tracert" from command line.

Disabling the sound still froze me. I couldn't connect directly to the WiFi cable, the router is family (big family lol) and they almost lynched me when I turned it off. That possibility is still there. No virus. Factory crap disabled. I didn't understand how to do the "tracert", would you explain the process in more detail? Another thing I did was let the "Heaven DX11 Benchmark 3.0" run for hours, I don't know if you know it, without any problems, it heated up normally but didn't freeze.

[Kernel1.0]

You don't have to leave the whole family without Wifi man (it's normal that they try to lynch you), just disable the one on the laptop and connect by network cable to the router.

I attach the image of my tracert, I don't know what those numbers mean jaja.

I did one calmly and the other by opening firefox windows.

That said, you have to connect by cable, those 398 milli-seconds from your laptop to the router are many, by cable you will have less than 1 milli-second between them. You have a more than decent Internet connection… for what I am used to at least.

[SeLDeN]

Give me... I'm going to try and I'll tell you how it goes.

The connection is (according to the paper) 8megas, this week they should expand it to 30 (that is, they are shared between, sometimes, 5 computers at the same time, but it gets worse to my room).

What surprises me is that my laptop crashes because of it :S

[SeLDeN]

There is something I do not understand… I have a cable but I am not sure if it is a network cable, it is the typical plug like a telephone one, with four colored cables, yellow, red, blue and black... I plugged it into the router but I do not notice any difference, and it continues to be connected through WiFi... it does not detect the cable connection... what am I doing wrong?

[Kernel1.0]

¬¬ the network one is the rj-45, and the phone one is rj-11… they are not the same, eh.
I suppose it will recognize both connections, but you will connect via wifi as it is the default, check that in network connections.

¬¬ no es opción… anda todo de lujo, excepto al jugar multiplayer.

Hoy dia me baje el GunZ par probar como iba con un fps multiplayer mas antiguo ... y tambien se me congeló

Hola, tengo el mismo problema con mi dell xps15 L502x .
al estar jugando League of legends se me queda pegado el sonido y la imagen, lo que me lleva a apagarlo forzadamente (lo que no es lo mejor)

E intentado de todo:
-Actualizar drivers video, sonido, etc … esto no me sirvió, entonces tuve que formatearlo

-Me cambiaron la placa madre ... y me duro 3 semana sin ningun problema, pero luego comenzo la pesadilla nuevamente ....
-Actualización de la BIOS.

+Bueno nose como solucionar este problema, espero que alguien de ustedes encuentre la respuesta.

• Sinceramente este notebook lo quiero cambiar, ya que, 1-No me a dado el rendimiento esperado
  2-Muchos problemas... (sin solución)

Salu2 :mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad:

Parece que es un problema de sobrevoltaje de la gráfica con los perfiles del panel de control de nvidia, hay muchísima gente con problemas con este modelo de Dell (no tiene nada que ver con que el juego sea online o no, habrá sido casualidad en ese caso).

Hay 'soluciones' varias, pasando por configuraciones concretas del panel de control, cambios de BIOS modificadas para voltajes menores e incluso gente que ha mandado el portátil a Dell y les han cambiado la placa base (o eso les han dicho y realmente solo les han puesto una BIOS no oficial).

• Before start playing games, you must switch graphic by manual in NVIDIA Control Panel Setting. Go to “3D Settings > Manage 3D Settings”, under ‘Global Settings’ & switch under ‘Preferred graphic processor:’ setting from ‘Auto-select’ to ‘High-performance NVIDIA processor’. After done playing games, switch to ‘Auto-select’ for balance battery saving & performance. The reason doing this because to remove using ‘Intel HD Graphic’ when playing games & also helps boost games performance with less overheat issue. Intel HD cause gives extra heating to fan when playing games.

• Please insure you change graphic switch in ‘Global Settings’ because even you already did switch for individual settings in ‘Program Setting’ to NVIDIA but Intel HD still in use. Global setting only can disable Intel HD.

• 2nd, I found that the cause games freeze are because enable ‘Threaded optimization’ in NVIDIA Control Panel. If setting to ‘Off’, no more freezing. So, no overclocking needed. Also disable ‘Antialiasing – Gamma correction’ setting because this setting only affects OpenGL programs. Already did test all the games especially ‘Call of Duty’ series & found no more freezing. Also, no more problem freeze with ‘Alan Wake’ or ‘NFS The Run’.

• Please insure in “Nvidia Control Panel > 3D Settings > Set PhysX Configuration” switch from ‘Auto-select’ to ‘GeForce’ & also give help reduce overheating and extra performance to the games that required PhysX like MAFIA II games.

• To reset the graphic clock to original setting, use official nvidia software call ‘NVIDIA SYSTEM TOOLS’. You can download here: NVIDIA DRIVERS 6.08.
