  • @MGlBlaze yeah i played this game and my bf could play it perfect on my internet and i couldnt didnt matter if i went on my line alone or with two i could never play.. I fixed it by format and unplug my router and modem now only one cable is plugged in and it works again =D

    I checked if i had packetloss but it said 0% so i dont rly know what it was

    thx for replying =D appreciate it !

    greetings =D

  • @BloodSlut If it's a case of one lagging and the other getting most of the bandwidth, it's never me who gets a decent connection when I'm playing a game online. At least that's the case with our BT Home Hub, especially if your area can only give you 60kbps per line tops.

    Depending on the setup the bandwidth might be split evenly instead, though.

  • @MGlBlaze

    litle question , if ur with two ppl on a line and u have this packetloss could it be one will lag and the other doesnt or do they both lag than?

  • i have 94% packet loss... i tested it.

  • and how do i FIX it?

  • I find the result of packet loss in games to be far more frustrating, personally; It's usually affected by your own internet speed more than anything else, but problems can range from other people (or you) jumping around as you move, to really infuriating things such as, say... clicking the mouse and only shooting quite a while later, often when the target is nowhere near where you were previously aiming any more.
