Lag while raiding playing Everquest mmorpg
I’m getting lag while raiding, burning while playing Everquest mmo. I have a fiber connection with 1000 download and 40 upload. I have my XR500 router QOS set to 90 upload and 90 download. 60% of my b...
Thanks Furry,
I'm normally the only one using the internet. My main priority is lag while raiding in Everquest on my PC. I have seen several vidoes that recommend leaving the QOS sliders in DUMA at 70 for upload and download. I have also heard a lot of people recommend adjusting the sliders according to the best bufferbloat readings via dsl reports. I've also tried saturating my connection and adjusting the sliders while monitoring the connection with pingplotter but my internet speed makes it difficult to properly saturate the connection. And now I'm hearing that you should disable QOS all together with gigabyte internet speed. It's just a little confusing. I seem to only get lag when we are raiding and there are 54 players piled on top of one another all hitting our buttoms at the same time.
So you have a gigabit connection is that right? Anti-Bufferbloat may not be as effective here but I would suggest you use Traffic Prioritization. Find the ports online for the game and make a manual rule for that. That will put your gaming packets ahead of everything else.
Would that be under port forwarding? How would I do that in DumaOS? I found the ports for portforwarding online, TCP: 1024, 7000 and UPP: 1024, 6000. I'm not sure where to set that up in DumaOS?
