I've had this problem, since I got my new computer, and was forcefully upgraded to Vista. Searching through old topics and posts has shown no results to help my problem.
Basically once I log into graal, and pop on a server with more then about 5 people, everything starts to lag, if I'm in a level by myself, it runs perfectly fine. The lag is pretty much related to the number of players im near, but the thing is this never happened on my old XP computer, I even loaded up my XP laptop, and It ran fine.
It happends on every server, but only occurs when numerous players are near.
My Comp Spec are as follows
CPU: AMD Athalon x2 Dual Core 2.20 GHz
RAM: 3.5 Gb RAM
Video Card: NVidia GeForce 6150SE
OS: 32-Bit Vista Home (Premium I beleive)
I have 'Fixed Port for UDP' checked atm,
and 'Don't use UDP for data packages' unchecked,
I have tried combinations of unchecked and checked for either of these
and Nothing seems to fix the problem.
In the Task Manager, upon starting graal it begins sitting at around 57K doesnt move much.
And game_console is below.
