Payment Help!

[PIEATER2000]

I really like toontown and i like to play it i usually have to use my laptop but im always loosing connection does the cd rom improve that? and if you get it do you have to use the new account? I have a toon that has 97 laff points and i dont want to do it over again

Its either your computer or if you have far too many programs. I doesn't matter if you get a new account. Try deleting some programs you don't use to make your computer run faster.

Ill try that but what about the CD does that help at all?

[Master SpikeG]

Wait, what do you mean CD?

[PIEATER2000]

one of the payment options is a CD that gives you 2 months subscription i was wondering if that improved the gameplay and if you had to use a new account

[Master SpikeG]

No it has nothing that has to do with paying or how big or small toontown is or anything. Depends on how old your computer is and how many programs you have. Try it!

Yes if your laptop is a older model it may not be coping aswell with TT as others can.

Also having a bit of space on hardrive always helps, at least 3gig of space is recommended to help performance on most 3d games. Even windows recommends that for file swapping for uninterupted performance.

For sucessful TT Play is :-

Recommended:- Pentium 4, 3.6, or amd equivelant or better, 1gig of ram+, 128 grahics or more, 5+ gig of drive space for file swapping.

Minimum:- Pentium 4 or amd equivelant, 500meg ram, 64 meg graphics, 3gig of hd space for swapping.

Of course above specs are a very rough guide, and having more of one can mean you can get away with less of another.

Also check machine for spyware/virus and use HD utilities to clear out tempory internet files and compress old files etc. to create more space, and check to see if HD needs defragging (cleaning up and maintanance is always good idea especially if space is a premium)

Also your connection is another important factor, modem users will have more problems, but even if your broadband and use wireless router to connect your laptop to internet, then this can affect the way TT plays.

Check this port triggering thread for help on setting router port settings as it may just be that.

Thread for fixing broken connections

All above may help you to stabilise things and all not that complicated to do, if you put your mind to it

As far as buying CD making difference to way game plays. No is definetely the answer to that, whether you download from site or buy in CD form its the same.

If your computer lags too much to play a program, it might mean that you have too many programs/softwares/security system(s) that are un-needed for your computer and lag or block other programs such as Toontown. I would start deleating programs you do not use or haven't used for a while. If it still does not work for you, please privet message me for more, less vag (sp? ) help to your problem.

They stopped selling CD games for Toontown, and the best way is to go to the Computer Support forum, and look for a sticky that says something like Fix for Broken Connection.

this is all helpfull but is still dont get why too many programs effects connection

Basically, the way you download the game isn't going to help the way it runs on your computer. It's either not enough ram, not enough space, or not fast enough internet.

It doesn't affect connection, but amount of workable space left on you mahine does affect how well it runs the game.

In fact theres two type of lag, there's lag caused by packet loss through lost data while its been sent from on to another, and there lag caused by machine when it fails to keep up with the demand of game its running at time.

TT is not the most demanding of games, but it is memory hungry, being there is memory leak invovled here.

In fact when measuring PING which is rate it takes one bit of code to go from A(your machine) to B(game server) or vice-versa both lags need to added, even a machine connected directly to main game sever will still have a certain figure for lag, due to how fast the machine processes information it's receieveing.

Basically the more programs running at same time and less space you have on you machine the slower the game will play.
