Extreme gaming lag on raids.
I play an mmorpg called Everquest with 53 other people weekly. While burning a target on raids the lag is extremely bad, so bad I can’t click my buttons. Many other people in the raids have complained...
When you say that other people in the raid have complained about the same problem, do you mean that they are experiencing the same lag on their end, or that they are noticing that YOU are lagging specifically?
If it's the former, it suggests it might be a problem inherent to the game itself and not something that can be fixed from your end. If it's the latter, then we can work out some settings to improve matters.
- Yes others have complained about having the same issues on their end. It makes sense that it could be just packets getting qued on upload because of congestion? As we are all packed close together slamming buttons at the same time. At one point I had it set so that the lag was minimal but then kept trying to tweak my settings and it went back to the extreme lag situation. I’ve tried taking the switch out of the equation and just connecting my PC directly into the router but it still lagged.
All this gaming with your friends at your home and all connected to the same router or at different locations?
And if you connect your PC directly to the ISP modem and game there, no lag?
We are all connected at our individual homes located in different states etc. We aren't all at my house.
I just removed the switch from the setup and connected the PC directly into the router. When I connect the PC straight to the modem I dont get internet access for some reason.
The problem is we only raid a few nights a week and the lag only happens at certain points on certain events when we are all burning and stacked on top of one another so its hard to test when I make changes outside of raiding hours.
