Whenever I play RF and start up my dedicated server theres a horrible lag that I cant account for. Not the kind of lag that you would expect after so many people sighn on you server but someting else. the pings sometimes skyrocket up to 2000+ ( all of them). and play becomes next to impossible. I have as of yet to be able to get more then 4-5 people on with out major problems.
My connection is DSL gold 768 and im running dedicated on a pentium 900 with 700+ ram. this all goes through a linksys 4 prot switch router that is set to gateway mode and currently has 4 pcs hooked to it.. but only 2 run on average at a time.
My os is xp pro. on all pcs.
with these figures and stats I should be getting a wayway better connectoin for dedicated. when i simply play on another server I ussually have one of the lowest pings.
Another factor to be considered is that my email in outlook comes through twice .. been that way for a while now. and i dont know why. I only have one account with outlook.( homail ) .
And in RF when serving everybodys speesh that they type in comes across to everybody else as double. twice in a row. when i play on a separate server I get everbodys messages like this all the time.
I experience this on all the pcs on my lan and am stumped at why.
could this be the reason for my strange lag problem?
is it possible sending double packets? and if so how do i fix this.
thank you for you help
one last thing , cause I know this is coming... Then lag that I am refering to is not normal, it is very obvioulsy something else beside normal lag that is hindering the performance.
I have it up right now in RF ... name is" Farslayers nightmare ( I wish)" ...hehe... its in the ctf section
