yeah..it's best to not have anything running in that back that uses up resources or CPU usage during gameplay...plaing music can bring down yout fps by as much as 5 if your comp isn't good enough. if your getting high 20's i sugest you try playing without any music :biggrin:

[Elena]

Without music are you crazy.................AHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!
Maybe I'll just have the radio on.....

Also Pop-Ups are getting on my nerves...What should I do?....This Ad-Aware thing Doesn't work for me..........

Oh and i like ur avatar...I drew him once then i forgot where i got the picture, so thx...

try using a pop up blocker...go here (www.download.com) and try searching for one...some are free and some give you a limit. the free ones stop it most of the time but the ones that you pay for work perfectly :biggrin:

[bestoutof2]

you can go to yahoo and download there free pop up blocker or you can get the google tool bar it has a free pop up blocker

[ssjmajin_vegeta]

To reduce lag just turn off backround and music. Then make the screen like half the size of what it is making the screen smaller lets you block more and more faster, IMO. Works for me.

Well i put the background off and i'm pretty impressed. But no way am i putting my sound off i didn't get broadband for playing a silent game.

[DA_VIPA]

[alamgir]

Very fast

As Nferno said, "it's best to not have anything running in that back that uses up resources or CPU usage during gameplay"

Which means as few IE browser windows has possible, and only have the minimum number of programs open that you need.
Example: having some sort of audio player, msn, and aim open is just asking to get lagged.

When I'm playing, I only have: SFO game browser open, and aim. That's it.

[ledmonkey]

Does that include all the little things in your toolbar?

turning the sound off just shuts off the music that plays during the character select screen and during the actual fight.....you still hear haduken haduken haduken lol :D

unless you have a comp over 1.2GHZ it's best to have nothing open but the game...the CPU can only take so much :biggrin: but fi you have a *super* computer you can multitask as usual but you might still be affected but not as much as those of of with not so *super* computers :biggrin:

[DA_VIPA]

oh so what about all those little programs that run practically all the time on the task manager dont they affect the usage of your cpu and the lag in the game?

[Nferno666]

depends on what service your talking about, there are some you can close and some that you can't :biggrin:

[Dreadlocks]

I don't see the point in lowering lag. I could do all the things that summary said to minimising lag, but if the other player doesn't do the same, isn't there still gonna be loads of lag?

[ledmonkey]

Yes but when you don't lag....and the other player does....its an advantage to you I belive:P

[Nferno666]

Yes but when you don't lag....and the other player does....its an advantage to you I belive:P
correct..the other player loses lots of important packets but you both suffer because the one lagging wont be able to send you packets fast enough aswell...but your wont turn out as bad as the lagger :biggrin:

[ssjmajin_vegeta]

The master of lag will tell you all how to minimize lag.
1)get a good computer
2)get cable or DSL
3) turn off sound
4)only have SFO running on your computer
5)make SFO browser window as small as you can. Why? Because for me doing that makes me move faster and makes me able to block more :p
6)ONLY play in 1 on 1 with no tag!!!Why? cause every other mode lags like hell. Never play tag with with 3 or 4 people. why? having 4 people lag up the game, the game lags bad enough with only 2 people.

[silent-killer]

my broadband is slow!!

[alamgir]

How many kbps is it?

[Nferno666]

my broadband is slow!!
broadband is still better than dialup :biggrin: unless you have cable...cause sometimes that can slow down to the level of dialup users if so many ppl get on in your neighborhood :biggrin:

[MIG]

also, only play people who have low pings.

if your hosting a game, and somebody joins with a high ping, kick them because they'll be sure to lag.

i dunno what it's like in this game because i haven't played in a looooooooonnnnnnggggggg time. but in some other multiplayer games a good ping is below 200. a great one is below 100. anything more than 300 and you'll get a lot of lag in the game.

[alamgir]

What would be a low ping number?

[Codename-75]

Try Pop-Up Stopper :buttrock:

[Nferno666]

umm..i suggest you change the size of that "banner" or whatever it is...unless you want to be banned...read the rules :biggrin:

[Codename-75]

is it okay now? ???

[playazas234]

........lol

[alamgir]

Lag is really starting to piss me off, I can't block supers, I freeze when someone does a super, If i do a super my opponent teleports behind me, and in 1 on 1 tag if itag all my levels dissapear even when i'm at 3.

[HELLOTHERE]

Whoa, this really worked for me.

yeah it does suck...but try closing things you DON'T need running in the back

[MIG]

alamgir a low ping number means that the number next to your name, when your in the tag menu, is quite a low number. a low one would be around 50, medium is between 100-150, and high is over 150. the higher the ping the more lag there is.
