Spitfire Posted May 5, 2014 Report Posted May 5, 2014 i don't have lag in any other online games except for this one. even with other private servers it goes smooth. my net is good and my computer is new. i have delay lags when move even with skills. almost everything. i saw an all chat that you guys can fix lag... im really hoping for a help... p.s. i really love this forsakenRO so far it's amazing but except for the lag
Bishop Posted May 5, 2014 Report Posted May 5, 2014 Please try the following and let me know the results: For windows 7: -Go to start -type in cmd -Press enter -type in ping forsakenserver.net - Look at the average ms. What number does it show ???
Spitfire Posted May 6, 2014 Author Report Posted May 6, 2014 wow, a quick reply ^^i hope i did the following right. really having trouble uploading a picture here. i can't seem to find it the button to upload a print screen cuz i'm not sure what number to give. http://i1278.photobucket.com/albums/y519/ungases/pignserverforsaken_zpsefe49489.png but pls try to check this out
Bishop Posted May 6, 2014 Report Posted May 6, 2014 Your ping is rather high to be able to be one of the fastest. Could you tell me where you live? The biggest factor that decides the ping is the distance between you and the server. The larger the distance the higher your ping will be. Higher ping means more delay in your commands to the server. If you're relatively close to the server but are still getting high ping numbers such as your own then you might be having some bad hops.
Spitfire Posted May 6, 2014 Author Report Posted May 6, 2014 i really don't know if i should take that as a good news or bad. simply bcuz i really don't understand or i just can't accept it. =/ i'm now having a vacation in the Philippines means i'm in this country now. i really really don't have any problem with other online games even with 3D high graphic games. i don't know what is bad hops? and you said something about ping is rather high to be one of the fastest? so my forsakenRO is fast? @_@ i appreciate the help
calvinckm Posted May 6, 2014 Report Posted May 6, 2014 My ping is more than 300... :th_e32: does this mean bad?
qperteplex Posted May 6, 2014 Report Posted May 6, 2014 When you have bad hops it means your PC communicates longer compared to others. To me the issue is indeed with your connection to the server. Strange though, as we have similar latency as I get around 210 to 250ms and I am also from PH. I experienced this as well on another RO private server namely LimitRO. I delay like every single day not even a single good day. Reason why I quitted the server just after 2 weeks of playing. My friends were able to play it normally though.
Akosibonbon Posted May 6, 2014 Report Posted May 6, 2014 Is there anything we can do to lower the latency? i also have the latency around 220-250 when i play. :(
qperteplex Posted May 6, 2014 Report Posted May 6, 2014 Is there anything we can do to lower the latency? i also have the latency around 220-250 when i play. :( Yes. Moving closer to the server will definitely reduce it. :th_heh: 1
Bishop Posted May 6, 2014 Report Posted May 6, 2014 The Philippines are very far away from where our server is located. This causes your ping to be high. There's different sorts of lag. There's graphic lag, and lets call it network lag. Graphic lag is what you experience when your PC is not able to handle a game. This will cause your game to stutter. This lag however is seperate from network lag, which is caused by a bad connection towards the server. This will keep everything looking smooth but it'll simply delay your commands sometimes to a point of making the game unplayable. A hop is a server in between your computer and the game server you're connecting to. Your connection tries to take the shortest route (through many hops) to get to the game server. If one of these hops is faulty/slow your ping will increase more than necessary. However since you're in the Philippines I think it's more the distance causing the lag. Aside from moving closer to the server, using something like Wtfast might reduce your ping. Wtfast reroutes your connection through dedicate servers, giving you the most optimized route to the game server (most of the time). This might reduce your ping but I'll warn up ahead that it doesn't work for everyone.
thePast Posted May 6, 2014 Report Posted May 6, 2014 My ping is a bit lower than yours but i don't have any problem playing o-o , by any chance is your laptop in power-saving mode?
catianci Posted June 9, 2014 Report Posted June 9, 2014 lol, why not download a app that can lower ping? >.<
