Hi all,
I have spent a lot of money and time getting my network right. I have some common questions for everyone.
I am assuming that most players barely experiance lag if any. So with that said:
1. How many people really experiance lag? And how often?
2. What's more important for online gaming, Download speed, or Upload speed?
3. What about PING? How do you test that on your PS3?
After all the time and money here are my results.
Bought a Netgear WNDR4000 router. I have cable internet with promised speeds of 30meg down and 6meg up. I have added dust ports and PSN ports to my QoS and my port forwarding (Yes, I made my PS3 a static I.P.). I did a connection test on the PS3 and I got an average of 15meg down and 2meg up. I did a www.internetspeedtest.com on my PS3 and I got an average 34meg Down and 5.5 up. This site didn't have my ping though. For some reason I cannot get speedtest.net to work because it says I need Flash 10 and I try to activate it and nothing happens.
Anyways, I am still getting some lag on DUST, though not as bad as before. So I am just curious as to what everyone else's lag experiances are?
Thank you all! And keep fighting the good fight. |

1) i believe everyone has lag at some point. i don't get much most of the time, but the 5 point maps are the worst... and this is something expressed on these forums all the time. 5 point maps are very laggy. even the ambush version of the 5 point maps are lousy.
2) don't know.
3) if you go to speedtest.net and JUST do the ping test, it works. it did for me anyway. don't try to do the whole speed test. you are correct about that issue. my ping to the local server was like 40-50ms.
the biggest lag issues right now are due to 2 things from what i'm aware of...
1) the SiSi (serenity) server isn't designed to handle so many players. it should get better after we move to the main eve server TQ (tranquility).
2) CCP reports of a memory leak that they can't quite correct at the moment. so, this will either be fixed after they find it, or if they have already, after the next build/wipe. and with that build/wipe we'll possibly be in TQ solving both issues.
on a side note... all online games lag some. from MAG to BF, MOH, COD... just ask around. and all genres as well. this is because of distances from the dedicated servers as well as other people's internet connections and how the server compensates for those things. |

Thank you for your reply sir. Yeah, that's what I'm hoping, is that it is a CCP/DUST thing and not my internet conection. I really started to get into all this when my wife and I tried playing DUST at the same time and our comms quit working. |
