I once played this game named S4 League and had a problem where all my actions would start to be delayed after a short time of playing. I had this problem for like 2 years, which would persist on every Windows but XP.

Then one day after foolish attempts like changing my NIC, disabling services, or even trying another GPU, I decided to check my BIOS Settings. Not to say I didn't try that before, but this one time I did it thoroughly. And there was it, this one setting which has been lost between all these other power settings, the HPET setting.

Of all things it was the fucking timer. This unoptimized piece of shit of a game turned crazy when playing with the timer. I turned HPET in the BIOS off and experienced a FPS Loss, but the delays were never to be seen again.

Damn right it felt good.

S4 League was the shit, man. I used to play that with my brother for hours wrecking each other with the spy dagger. Also Chaser was a lot of fun.
Only slightly related, my first laptop out of the box had a periodic stutter on any game I played. It was consistent and annoying, and I tried everything from redoing the GPU driver to reinstalling Windows, but nothing fixed it and I gave up. Come to find out it WAS the driver, but the download from Acer's site was out of date and after like a month I realized you could get them directly from AMD. Playing games has never felt so smooth. Pic unrelated.
