Now the lag is like 5 sec.
Is that because too many ppl are playing?

    Weird, I am experiencing no lag at all, and I am compiling and downloading Gentoo Linux in a virtual machine at the same time. My ping is 15ms though... When you log in to the server (or when you select to choose the server), what does it say your ping is?

    if you're experiencing lag it could possibly be your computer, what spec is your machine? i used to get the same problem with my old computer. if it is indeed your computer try tweaking the games settings, lower the resolution and set all barrs to the lowest and uncheck everything. run the game to see if you still get lag. if this solves your problem it's just a case of tweaking the games settings to have it looking and running just how you want it to. The things that i found caused lag on my old computer were things such as the bloom effect, water reflections and shadows. while nice to have if they're slowing your game down to almost unplayable it's definately worth disabling them.. actually, come to think of it, i believe there is a button in game which does pretty much what i've described lowering all the settings making the game run much smoother. try clicking it and see how it goes from there.

    With 17ms ping took, I think you wouldn't be experiencing lag, but like elly said, it could be some configuration problem? Try pressing "CTRL+F9" in game. That will completely minimize the graphics settings. If it runs faster, then it could be your graphics settings. Other things to check are like network and firewall settings, etc.

    he said 17xx ms and not 17ms. 17xx means a range of 1701-1799ms and that is OVER 1.7 seconds!!! It's a huge lag!

    if that is the case, go to www.speedtest.net and let us know what ms/ping you get if the above solutions don't work. if it comes back high then the problem may not be your machine but your connection.

    I get 170ms from Germany... much better than PW-MY, but still could be enough to make me switch to PW-MS, but well, I haven't decided anything yet and enjoy playing :)

    I tested at that website just now. My ping to the California locations is below 200ms on average.
    I entered the game just now, but the lag is still around 2-4 sec.

    94ms East Canada. No lag except an occasional spike here and there. Nothing major. It could simply be your ISP being silly.
