WHY SOOO MUCH LAG???

why is the lag sooo FREAKING BAD?

May 18, 2009 10:21:04 PM from Demigod ForumsDemigod Forums

I have never seen so much lag in rts, especially with low pings <200, what gives?

 

Even games where simspeeds are >3, and all pings are well below 200 the game will often times lag out like there is no tomorrow...

 

Obviously the good news..we can actualy connect now but is there anythign being done about lag?

Based on what we're seeing it's not lag per se but rather someone playing has something (like a security program) that's scanning every packet that's coming in.

You know it's something like that if it goes fine, stutters for a second, goes fine, stutters and repeats.  Even Google Desktop (for instance) seems to do this though we have no idea why.

There are also specific people who doesn't realized they need to upgrade their nintendo 64 so they can play new games, and also to actually update, defrag, and disk-check their machines regularly, else everyone is forced to slow down to play at their speed and make the game feel laggy.  Then again, most people don't bother reading the instructions for anything, so maybe my expectation is set way too high.

Trust me, no matter how low you set your expectations, they can--and will--go lower.
