Does it help? - Turning off music and bg

[Ken-Po]

Just wondering if it helps you people out there that are on a dial-up connection like myself, when you turn off the music and background does it help whatsoever reduce the lag?(eg. people teleporting etc.)

[DA_VIPA]

not that much
but it helps none the less

[Ken-Po]

I see....cable one here i come :D

[alamgir]

It helps slightly for me, not that much of a big difference.

[RyusRevenge]

yup it certainly helps, close all programmes such as msn, kazaa and any i.e windows, turn off the background, put the music off and away u go.

[vx_unicom]

It does help...,why don't you get cable connection...Cox, etc... ???

[DA_VIPA]

thats just sick vx

[Bob~Marley4004]

Hes talking about COX Cable.. argh :biggrin: .

[Ken-Po]

Havent gotten cable connection yet cause Im out of a job right now. Just recently quit because my boss...well...well he's the antichrist :D anyway....I turn off all the programs and stuff its completely clean on startup but still the lag is there and guess always be. Well thnx guys I'll give it a shot turning EVERYTHING off (usually leave the efx sound on).

[Argiwulf]

:( I took them both off and I have cable... STUPID PC!

[Nosoul4Sfo]

it does not work at all

when i do no bg and no sound and music

people say i still lag-_-

[Bob~Marley4004]

People can say you lag, but you will never know what is going on, on there screen :biggrin:

[dark-guardian]

Make sure all your programs your not using are off. When i say off, i mean completely shut down. Some prgrams like msn messgner kazaa and aim when you close them you just minmize them and they are closed. There at bottom right of your screen beside the time. Right click on them and choose Close/Exit and then you can be assure that theyre fully closed. Also stop all the downloads, uploads and installtions. These can make lag more and intese. And by turning off the game music and background your lag will reduce alot.

[hotsexi_chic]

yeah i did that when i fight aganist this person

and he still lagged over 389

[Ken-Po]

Well whenever I fight someone and I have a ping time of 130ms or less, the match usually goes really smooth. This is usually when I host or when I join someones game that has an extremely good connection speed. but mostly if I quick challenge or somethin its 300ms or more :( , and thats where you see 300 hadokens flying at you at once lol :biggrin:

[LAB~MONSTER]

Taking off the music, sound completly, and background helps but not a lot.

Not sure if this is supposed to happen, when i take off the bg in the options why does it still show. Just wondering.

So whats the best requirement for this game.I mean I use dail-up and I go pretty good without lag but I would like to see everymove my opponet does.

[Wave Master]

sooner or later you forget about lag and start picking up spidey senses, I have a nack for knowing where they'll be.

It helps tho put on your own music it helps with the boredom of playing w/o music and turning off the bg plus it doesn't cause lag
