    Yea didn't your post, but if Lags a problem for you try turning the graphics settings all the way down then restarting the program. Its what fixed the horrible lag I had on the 3rd weekend. I was able to turn the graphics back up once Prime time had passed with no issues.

    If you are looking for a translation, that's basically telling you there is no issues between you and the server. 40-50ms ping is really good.

    Try what I recommended. It might work, its probably just the amount of people online right now, and your connection having trouble handling the stress.

    I would guess it's wireless packet loss. Maybe you have some signal interference or are playing too far from the transmitter, I would honestly never recommend anyone try to play an online game over a wireless connection. It's not a question of is there packet loss, it's how bad is it.

    I agree with astazia here. aralix, your nettest and tracert look fine, so I think your basic connectivity is OK. So I think you should see if you still have the issue with a hard connection, instead of using wireless. Wireless is a notorious cause of lag. Let me know if that helps or doesn't help.

    By the way, you should open a Tech Support ticket if you haven't already.
