Need help: Macbook pro 8600m GT problems

Ok so I have Windows XP Home installed with bootcamp and I am trying to play Splinter Cell: Chaos Theory and it lags horribly in multiplayer. The single player graphics and framerates are superb but when I try to do anything in the multiplayer menu or game it lags BAD. I have tried the boot camp drivers and I have tried modified drivers from laptopvideo2go.com and I get the same result. If anyone has any suggestion please help! Thanks...

BTW I have the 15" latest generation with the 8600m GT card. I don't know if it is software or a setting conflict. Also, the game patches are up to date.

Are you using wireless to connect or wired?

If wireless, try wired and see if that makes a difference.

What SeaBlade said: if it plays well in single player mode the lag is most likely related to your internet connection.

I'm sorry. I don't mean lag. I get a massive slow down in my frame rate. Like below 15 fps as soon as i start the versus mode. Even the tutorial's fps is slow.

I don't think that has anything to do with your video card. Otherwise it would be happening in single player mode.

Sadly I can't help you out more than to say check your settings and make sure they are identical, and try it on a LAN game if you can to see if it might for whatever odd reason be a bandwidth problem.

Can you test the game out on another computer connected the same way as the MBP?
