How To Recognize Your Lag

 

Lagometer

 

*Aw crap Dare beat me.

 

Try all the =F|A= Servers, You will have a lower ping on one of them. I only play on servers where my Ping is below 100, which is why I stay on Hardcore where it remains under 50, Pub 100, Jaymod 150-200. You will have a lower ping on the server that is the closest to you.

 

*Example Lagometer(not mine)

i have got down 2 the bottom of the lag issue it was my firewall i switch it off while i was playing and there was a massive difference

my ping is not the best at 180 but that because the server is from america i also done the speedtest from uk to usa which helped alot

one more question is wireless slower than running direct from the landline when playing et

Damn, incoming beat me to it. :D

 

Yeah..wireless is not the way to go. For instance, if someone turns on a microwave and your router uses a certain spectrum of the wireless G band...your connection will either lag or drop. I've heard similar stories with people running vacuums.

 

If you want the most reliable connect, you need to wire up.

 

Also instead of turning your firewall off, try setting it up to port foward certain applications like ET, vent, xfire, etc. That way your still solid when you play, but you don't get the lag issue.

I have been lagging badly too. According to the menu, I start with a ping of 1. But once I am into the game it lags a lot.

 

I re-installed ET up to the 2.60b since I was running 2.55 before. Didn't make any difference. I've cut down the splash and effects but didn't help either. Seems to happen most when everyone is playing those stupid songs and other sounds...

Getting red spikes every 2 or 3 seconds on lag metre and getting a lot of yellow on top line as well.This is on f|a 2 today seems to be getting worst on that server.The only server i can play lately is nitmod us :(
