Darkrul3r Posted April 13, 2003 Share Posted April 13, 2003 I have DSL, but when i host or join a game it laggs alot, other people said its because of the upload speed. Is their any other reasons it could be lagging? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gryphon Posted April 13, 2003 Share Posted April 13, 2003 Do you use a firewall and / or an active virus scanner ? If so, turn of the virusscsanner, and the firewall if the scanner alone isn't working.Do you what the upload speed is you have ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darkrul3r Posted April 13, 2003 Author Share Posted April 13, 2003 Wow, my Upload sucks... really, here are the results My download is 853My Upload is 151 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Acriku Posted April 13, 2003 Share Posted April 13, 2003 Yep, so it would be a bad idea to host a game. As for joining, I don't see how upload speeds can hurt that. Your download speeds are more than enough, too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darkrul3r Posted April 13, 2003 Author Share Posted April 13, 2003 Well, it also laggs alot when i join a game, i never had this befor, i stoped playing GR a while ago, just started playing it and it starts to lag, could it be just the games i go into?

Acriku Posted April 13, 2003 Share Posted April 13, 2003 It could very well be the host, with his crappy UL speed. Try a host you know has good UL speed and see if you lag in there. Another thing to note, it may also be dealing with RAM, video card, etc. So check those out, too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gryphon Posted April 13, 2003 Share Posted April 13, 2003 Are you shure the speeds they show are the right ones ?This is what mine should be, and as far as my own readouts are showing, that if way off.Think those test can give an pretty good indication. Just as bandwidthplace.com does. Although it would also depend on the browser you are using and the OS your running. Win2K gives me an download in every test of about 900kb where Linux on the same computer and same browser give me 1800kb. [ after that Opera for Linux crashed taking with it my whole X console, what can I say it was a Beta release :- ]What I'm trying to say, those online tests use your internet browser with all the limitations of it. So the real spead is probably higher. [ in my case it can't handle a dual uplink and something is bugging it that I havn't find out yet. . but then I don't care ]As for 151 upload .. .if you don't have to many players and your PC can handel it being a host it should work fine. It's not that much, but it should do the job. [ I think :- ] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
