Solve : What is causing this high ping??? |
|
Answer» Hi all i am having this strange lag while playing Call Of Duty 4 for the past few DAYS which is due to increase in ping at regular intervals of about 10ms but that makes the game unplayable,the game becomes very slow .i can not understand what is causing this increase in Ping,lineman says there is no problem with the line.I just did a line check at dsl reports and it was pass but i had 2% packet loss.Its only when i play MULTIPLAYER games,everything else seems to be fine,SPEED it fine,no other noticeable problem so what to make of this,there is nothing running in the background,what should i do to find out what is causing this increase in Ping which causes lag Thanks ----------------------------- High Ping is usually a result of the LATENCY between you and the host's server. It may also be the result of another application or program stealing your bandwidth, for example downloading or online gaming. Also, what is that picture for?Quote from: Carbon Dudeoxide on September 26, 2008, 11:17:57 PM High Ping is usually a result of the latency between you and the host's server. Thanks for your reply :)the picture is from Call Of Duty 4,have you not played it but for the ping i am certain there is no other program running which could cause this.And this problem is only spradic,it happens every 1 min for a few seconds in which the ping rises about 10ms and the game gets very laggy,it might be packet loss,line problem,ISP side problem,routing problem,my lineman says line is ok but i dont KNOW .. And in the picture from left:Lt Vasques..Gaz..Capt. Price...Sgt Griggs. --------------------- When I play Halo PC online, I look for servers with the least amount of Ping. Ping is basically time taken to send packets. For example, if the ping is 1000, it will take 1 second for the game to register that you shot someone, in which case you would have missed. Quote Thanks for your reply :)the picture is from Call Of Duty 4,have you not played itI meant you're mile-high picture.Well, not to cause you too much consternation, but I have never played "Call of Duty" either. It probably is a sporadic problem between your system and the game server. You stated in your original post that you only have problems when you play multiplayer games. There may not be anything you can do.Quote from: Carbon Dudeoxide on September 27, 2008, 12:50:13 AM When I play Halo PC online, I look for servers with the least amount of Ping. ?^^^^ Even i play on servers which have a ping of about 50 but even 60 ping should not be a problem,right?so here is the problem,when the ping increases from 50 to 60 it is due to something not quite normal and it causes the game to reel,frames are dropped,and the game stumbles.On occasions i have played on servers with a ping of upto 180 but this never happened,its not the simple lag,dont know what is causing this ------------------------- Please stop posting that picture in your posts. As for your problem, is this a recent development? Are you experiencing lag in general (even when not online)?Quote from: Carbon Dudeoxide on September 27, 2008, 01:01:18 AM Please stop posting that picture in your posts. No there is no problem even when online,overall speed is like always and is fast.As for the time,its been quite a few days now.You can try resetting your Router and Modem by unplugging their power cables for about 20 seconds, but I don't think that will do anything to help multiplayer lag. It depends on the hosts server.I've heard that you can change the amount of packages per second on CSS and CS 1.6. Ex. cl_cmdrate or cl_upderate I used to have cl_cmdrate 40 and cl_upderate 60. It worked very well and I sometimes have lower ping than the host (Weird) (I'm using a 4year old HP laptop with 1gb RAM 60Gb hdd worst graphics card ever etc.). I don't know if it's possible to change the cl_ stuffs in COD4. COD4 is a great game!!!
