It's called lag my man... *sigh* .. okay.. here we go again

When you do a move, it takes a while for the packets of data... ergo, you doing that move to get to ur opponent's computer. This depends on various things like the speed of your computer, it's specs and the type of internet connection you're using.

Dial up connections usually send and recieve packets of data at a slower pace.. while broadband send and recieve at a faster pace.

So back to ur point. when you do a move, it takes a while to get to ur opponent and when your opponent does his, it takes a while to get to you. This concept of time variation is simply put as lag.
Most of the time, due to the game play and speed of SFO, some packets of data are loss.. and when cases like that occur the moves you dish out to ur opponent may not be recieved by him or her :biggrin:

In those cases, they're not known as bugs.. but as the all too known factor of lag. :biggrin:
