Lag's problem -please try to help me - details inside.


(FearMe) #1

I got terrible lags in the last month and i dont know why.
i close all the programs that leeching the bandwith and i even call my ISP and they told me that they dont see somthing wrong.

Friend of mine told me that maybe the game setting’s are not use my whole bandwith.
for example: he say that if i got rate of 2000
that game was set to use 500, and that can cause a lags (coz the game need more than 500 rate).
there is command that i forgot that telling the game how to use my whole bandwith rate.

btw, i way already set my connection type in the game: profile -> internet connection.

if some one got the command that i am looking for or have any other clue how to get rid those annoying lag’s. please lt me know coz i cant play like this.
thank you folks.

Try defragmenting your drive(s).

Start -> Programs -> Accessories -> System Tools -> Disk Defragmenter

You don’t say if you hve a broadband connection or if you are a 56k player.

I don’t want to sound pedantic but this must be one of the most frequently asked questions over the last couple of years. Searching the forum might actually yield better results as it’s probably a long time since anyone here had to worry about lag and config setup.

This, this or this are well worth reading through to get a better idea of what to look for. If you still have problems after reading through those posts I guess you can always ask :slight_smile:

Type “/players” in console (without the quotes) to see what /rate the server you have joined is running. I believe 4000 is dial-up so if you are running at 2000 you have your rate set less than a dial-up connection and you should have hella lag. If you find the server is running at 20000 or 25000 type “/rate 20000” or “/rate 25000” in the console (again without the quotes).

We run at 25000 and that is the fastest setting allowed in Enemy Territory.

Do you have the All Seeing Eye game browser installed ? If yes, do all servers have bad ping times or just a few ?
I had a similar problem where one day all server ping times shot up to about 400ms. Spoke to my ISP and it turns out that the number of users on my internet connection was reaching the maximum. They moved me onto another UBR (universal broadband router) and all was fine.
