*hotsauce lifts his left eyebrow*

well duh...if EVERYONE had a T3/T1/DSL/Cable connections...there wouldn't be no lag..or not much at all eh?

Well then i guess for now it isnt controllable, due to all the damn 56k users(....such as myself ) and some other stuff

Hotsauce, the connection doesn't make THAT much of a difference...

You still need:
Better Comp.,
More RAM,
and
A Shibby Video card.

*raises right eyebrow* (which i can do in real life..)
i think the "better comp." part covered everything else...

as people play the game more and more... they start to "anticipate" the lag...

while i know the idea behind it (and knowing how the game worx from the inside helps a lot) i still can't even compare to most of the players in the top 50

for them... it is no longer about the lag... the ping can be 100 or 5000, they'll still kick my arse :biggrin:

@least thats my opinion :biggrin:

Yes I have been using it to my advantage.

NO lag isn't controllable from a technical point of view !
but there is still somethings that do make differences !

- play screen resolution (anything above default get you more lag)
- having a 56k or lower do give you more lag
- having a lower comp than a p1 500 do give you more lag (my actual machine)

only those actually does something... but even if you had them all boosted up to their max...
- best connection (dual T3)
- P4 2000+
- default play screen

you would still experience lag !

the reason, INTERNET is the whole cause of this !
your keys has to pass thru a server to be validate and resend to your screen and to the other users screen ! the time it takes to the answer to reach the server and to be back to your comp cannot be controllable since you cannot tell the packet were it should pass to be the faster and the saffer !

so even with the best comp and connection on earth you would still experience lag !
