Lag!

SystemSystem Member, NoReporting Posts: 178,019 Arc User
I usually hate complaining as i work in an internet company myself but right now the game is simply impossible to play.. i keep getting lags where it seems like i'm moving only to be dragged back all the time so i'm guessing the problem is the lag

ground combat is impossible to do like this.. space combat you can do but it really really loses any appeal playing like this.

I have a 5MB internet connection and this is not the first MMO i've played on my computer so i do not think there's a problem on my end. Is this game only meant for US players or something like that?

    Try runing some tests

    Nettest:

    Download this file and run it
    A command prompt should appear running the test automatically

    Column 1 and 3 have values around 500 kb/sec (outgoing/incoming), column 2 has values around 20 kb/sec (transfer rate). If the values in these columns is less than what is expected you may have filtering or blocked ports either on your personal network or from your ISP.

    post the results. Also some 2 wire modems have problem handling the small packet streams (flood) the game uses and may need updating or changes.

    you can alos try using one of the proxy option in the launcher it has help some.

    also look at milehighscott FAQ there is a lot of helpful information there.
