How To PROPERLY FIX LAG In Modern Warfare 3!

all right so this video is going to be pretty short cuzz I want to get this out to you guys as soon as possible but I am so happy that I finally found a fix for this so you may be experiencing lag at the beginning of matches in Modern Warfare 3 and for me personally it was super bad for the first 2 to three minutes of every game it would lag super bad and it was almost unplayable it was frustrating the hell out of me and I was considering uninstalling the game until I found this solution and I'm here to tell you that it is not your internet it is just solely Port optimization for the PC on Call of Duty's part I play on a wired connection with 300 mb per second download speed and about 25 upload speed so I know for a fact that it is not my internet and I was searching and searching around online for a solution for this and everything that I found told me to restart my modem play on a wired connection blah blah blah everything that I had already done and it wasn't fixing my problem and I was ready to give up until I found this post on Reddit right here and I'll link it down in the description so you guys can go to it and see exactly how to do this and it's from 4 years ago so it was a little bit hard to find it's from the original war zone 1 but obviously the problem still persists in Modern Warfare 3 because I'm having the problem so basically what it's saying is if you have an SSD and a hard drive installed on your PC for some reason Call of Duty will set the paging file to only the hard drive instead of the SSD which is slower and this will cause your game to run slower and lag so if you have the game installed on a hard drive what you need to do is move it over to an SSD if you can and then set the paging file to only the SSD but myself I have the game installed on a hard drive and I have to leave it on the hard drive for now because I do have an SSD but I don't have enough room on it for Call of Duty so for now unfortunately I do have to leave it on my hard drive I am planning on getting an additional SSD just solely to fix this problem but to do this all you have to do is come down to your windows search and type in pref and then click on this right here and this window will come up and then you click on Advanced and then down here click on change and then your drives will come up here so here I have my SSD and my hard drive so if there's no paging file um it will look like this it'll say none so wherever you have the game installed like me I have it on my hard drive so I would just make sure it's selected and then down here click on system manage size and then click on set and then click on okay and then you may need to restart your PC for the changes to take effect but then all you need to do is restart your PC before you start your game again and you should be good to go but like I said if you can put the game on an SSD do that and then set the paging file to only the SSD and then on your hard drive set it to no paging file like this so it's only on the SSD where you have the game installed but like me I have the game installed on the hard drive so I set the paging file to the hard drive and the SSD and that seemed to have fixed my problem a little bit it didn't totally eliminate it I do still get a little bit of lag at the beginning of some matches but it is not near as bad as I was getting before it's actually manageable now but like I said I am planning on getting an SSD to put Call of Duty on and hopefully that totally eliminates my problem but if you guys do this it should fix your problem problem and then before you close out of this just make sure you click on apply and Okay and like I said I'll leave a link to this Reddit post in the description so you guys can fully read it and understand it because I didn't really do that great of a job of explaining it but I just wanted to make this video because like I said I was going crazy looking for a solution to this problem and I think I finally found it because like I said I know that it is not my internet so this really has to be the only answer because I've literally tried everything else so if you guys found the video helpful make sure you drop a like and hit that subscribe button there's definitely more Search and Destroy content on the way and I'll catch you guys in the next one peace out
