I'm a swordfighter in Roblox and everything's been going good about it until right after the dynamic lighting update in Roblox. My computer on roblox has been top notch in low-average-high brick games (High brick and low in guis). I've been able to perform well until the update.

This update did these things to me:
- Whenever I'm in game and someone dies, drops their hats, changes team, spawns, and loads/turns grey, I have a 1-1.5 second lag spike. It's not every time, it's when there are a lot of people in the game. For example: 5-30 people, this lag begins to come in.

- The second thing that happened was that everytime I move my mouse or cursor around, or move my roblox character, I get these lag spikes. Each have around a 2-3 second interval per lag spike, and they last 1-1.5 seconds as well. This doesn't happen until there are a lot of players in the game, ex: 10-30.

Computer specs:
-2.19 GhZ
-980 MB of RAM
-AMD Athlon(tm)64 processor 3500+
-Microsoft windows XP
-Version 2002
-Service Pack 2

Things I've tried:
-Defragging my computer.
-Cleaning my disks.
-System Restore (Can't restore to the time when I had no lag)
-Looking for "stij"
-Deleting programs that take up too much space.
-Roblox studio settings, putting all on low, and turning off bevels.

Final comments: I know my computer might be old and you may tell me to buy a new one, but it's pretty complicated. I really don't wanna spend right now. Besides, this computer was able to run my computer PERFECTLY ever since I started in 06 on another account. This was the computer that I played Roblox on. Please help me! I'm open to any suggestion or comments down below that are helpful, thank you!

"980GB of RAM"
"Windows XP"
"AMD Athlon(tm)64 processor 3500+"

Well there's your problem! It's not ROBLOX, it's your computer.

Actually officer, if you factor in the earth's rotation, we were all speeding.

If you are saying dynamic lighting is your problem than you would have to go to options and lower your graphics. If that doesn't work than try re-installing roblox if that helps. Honestly, lag is based of your computer or internet most of the time so try to uninstall any unneeded programs on your computer.

I'm just saying, it can run things other than just the internet. I had League Of Legends installed on it and I've been able to play at normal settings (Medium range with shadows on) flawlessly. Anyways, you wouldn't wanna spend on a computer if you're saving to cover part of your first year university tuition. ._. Anyways, yeah, these are the only things, that I recall I've downloaded on this computer. I've no use for microsoft word or anything. Oh! Sorry I take that back, I've also downloaded adobe flash player version nine! >.< Anyways... keep the suggestions coming >.< I've been searching around and it seems 30% of Roblox has this problem. Oh, it might be my internet, too. I have two routers, one telus, one dlink. The telus one is slow so I use the dlink one, so does my laptop upstairs, where I have downloaded Roblox on, but it has the same problems as my computer. Thing is, my computer runs Roblox faster than my laptop, where I've downloaded NOTHING at all but Roblox itself. I hope this extra information will help.

One more thing to add, my computer has experienced 3 factory resets ever since I bought it, which made it unbelievably behind in terms of updates. I considered this could be problematic, but, for playing games? I'm not so sure. You can't make this computer run faster by updating and using up more space, I don't think.

I'm still open to helpful suggestions/ideas, thanks!

Don't you need a disk for that? Please, if you know anything of how to do it without a disk, please tell me, that's not something I've tried before. I've only done a system restore, which did not help what so ever. I think a factory reset might be able to work. I lost my disk, or it's probably in my house somewhere, but I don't know where, haha.

If you can't afford a new computer why not get little performance upgrades?

I find it funny when people people think they need to add the fact they've been playing for years on another account.
