lots of lag...

[onikenshin]

i went and played a game last night on pr when i got it working when i joined the game it took about 6-7 minutes to load and then when i was in the game i had a bit of lag like when i play bf2 online then if i sprint the lag got worst or if i moved around it often froze... i read that lag thread thing and i went what do i do

EDIT* now it is taking +10minutes to load and game is lagging worst then before and i get kicked out of servers because i dont connect to somthing that im sapposed to connect 2.

what is your system specs?
and what kind of connection you have?

ok i figured out how to fix most of the lag so it is better just loading is same but i get kicked for having 2 high ping how do i lower my ping? and idk how to look at my system specs i think... ill go mess around until i figure it out. and connection... uhm... i have internet connection ^^ i dont think that is what u are talking about tho and i beleive it is what connection is i using to access internet and that would be either a.... nvm that i need a new proccesser and another thing that is related to RAM or it might be that rthe porcessor is elated to it but ther eis a bunch of **** wrong with my computer its a schgool computer so i guess i dont play yeah?

just try to lower your graphig settings and try to join maybe some server in your country to see if ping goes down.

i set my graphic settings to lowest in the options should i do that on the computer 2?

Search dxdiag on your computer then run it to find out your specs.

i know my specs i need to update the **** for more memory and that other thing.

Whats a good memory thingy to operate pr?

Rule of thumb:
XP = 2 gigs
Vista = 4 gigs

Corrupted packet flow error will pop up when your packets(game data to the server) are consistently getting delayed or dropped. There is some tolerance on the server, light packet loss will make your game jumpy due to your not getting on time game data. Too much packet loss and your dropped.

Some routers with 'packet inspection' turned on can also trigger a disconnect when game data or voip traffic triggers a false "ping flood"attack and the router shuts down needed ports cutting off packet flow to protect your network,.
So try turning packet inspection off to see if that helps.
If you have a busy network you can also get dropped if your packets are consistently getting delayed due to high traffic.( your ping jumps way up from time to time)
You can check your ping with a free tool like Plotter Freeware 1.1
Always download from sites you know and trust.
Always scan new downloads before you run them as well.
If your running Xp you can tune up your internet connection with TCP Optimizer to maximize throughput.
check out speed guides web site
click here to use their TCP/IP Analyzer
results will show if you can improve throughput.

Having a router like D-links gamers lounge, that can prioritize traffic( they call it GameFuel), can make a night and day difference.
This GameFuel improves your online gaming experience by ensuring that your game traffic is prioritized over other network traffic, such as FTP or Web. This is of course much more helpful on networks with more than one user, but if you like to download bit torret or other large files in the background while gaming you'll be glad you have one that can prioritize or 'shape' traffic.

So the question is where is the bottle neck? Is it inside the network (your PC to your router) or outside (modem to game server)
Inside a better router should help.
Outside improved throughput should help
