Lag

[DuskMatch]

Hi everyone. I noticed that while playing, my ping would be 80-85 when standing still but when running, it would spike to 140 or so and be very laggy. I wondered why the ping would spike whenever I moved. I just recently found out what was causing this and thought I would share with everyone in case anyone else had the same problem. It turned out to be a hardware problem.

 

One time, while playing, I got kicked by PB for losing too many key packets. I wondered why that would be. It seemed like my network connection was bad. Anyways, on another day while I was using my computer and talking on my landline phone at the same time, I heard a bunch of buzzing noises on my phone. Then, while I was listening to music, I heard some buzzing noises coming from my speakers. This got me thinking that there might be lots of interference coming from the wires behind my PC. If you look behind my desk, you'd see a jungle of wires and cables.

 

I thought that all these wires might be causing interference for my network cable, causing the lost packets. So I separated the network cables from the rest of the cables behind my desk and moved them to make sure that they were far away from all other wires and cables to minimize any possible interference. After I did this, I experienced no or much less lag. Just thought I'd share in case anyone else had the same problem.

Never thought of that. Like most people I have a dozen wires all tangled together behind my computer. I'll have to try to to separate the network cables (may take a while lol) and see if anything noticeable happens. Every trick helps.
