Online Gaming? How to stop Lag?

get a router if you don't already have one... it will keep your connection a little more stable, i would also make sure your video card/memory is up to par

Take this from a Master of Online gaming, a router will really make you lag more. Also most times with game lag, it all comes down to three simple things...

1. your video card power, how well it can do
2. your memory

and the biggest one...

3. where the server for the online game is located, like if your playing a SOE afliated game, and you live here you will lag more becuase all of SOE's games are located out in San Antonio, Cali.

But if you get a better video card and more memory you should do a bit better, but it will all really depend where the server for the game is located.

if i'm not mistaken he did say he was using a DSL connection which would mean possibly a PPPOE connection, so he may have a login process and software by bellsouth, whoever, etc... that software is a joke as well as loging... getting a router is 100X better than using software to connect to your ISP.

i dont have to log on or anything i just have to click on internet explorer and im on.

and for the lag its just slow like when i play warcraft or starcraft its just slow. My guy or units dont move fast. the whole game is slow because of me and that usually pisses everyone else off.

Its like wen i tell a guy to go somewhere he moves slowly, it shows a step then kindof pauses then moves a little bit.

i thought DSL was supposed to be fast. And i cant get cable because it dos't come to my area so im looking for other options.
