Unknown Brother Posted July 11, 2007 Report Share Posted July 11, 2007 So...I'm trying to play and I'm getting nasty lag spikes, I'm the only one and my girlfriend gets them also, but not at the same times. Everything else works fine, internet, music downloads, just mud. It's not zmud, I tried others. I assume it MUST be my internet connection. Anyone know anything about this?

Crucial Posted July 11, 2007 Report Share Posted July 11, 2007 You play with your girlfriend? Then Id blame it on her. Cause shes the devil! And she dont want you to play! Ive gotten a couple but not today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
archgold Posted July 11, 2007 Report Share Posted July 11, 2007 yea i've gotten a few today, they hit hard for a bit then die away Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tantangel Posted July 11, 2007 Report Share Posted July 11, 2007 Yeah, I wouldn't worry too much. I've only died three times due to lag spikes because they hit me just before combat or mid combat and when I know that I'm lagging and someone wants me to PK they can go **** themselves until my lag lets up.

kahlos Posted July 11, 2007 Report Share Posted July 11, 2007 I constantly get lag spikes too.. I think it is usual if you have two or more comps connected. I usually MUD while my wife chats or surfs using my laptop. It doesn't affect anything else though cept the MUD. I just hit disconnect and reconnect... coz sometimes the lag takes around 2 ticks or more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Lemming Posted July 11, 2007 Report Share Posted July 11, 2007 When my feance and I play we both get them too. Hardly ever when we are alone but it does happen. It may be the router you use. I have had two linksys wirelss-G routers on two connections and have had the same problem on both. So that may be it too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
L-A Posted July 11, 2007 Report Share Posted July 11, 2007 Unless you're doing something sexy through a separate server that splits your bandwidth I think you'll find that sharing bandwidth gives 100% banwidth to one request at any one time. The only reason you notice it more with MUD than anything else is that MUD is real time. When something doesn't happen, you see it. Browsing and chat are harder to notice these things on. The answer is deal with it, don't play when someone else is doing anything, get a faster broadband connection or set up a server with some really cool bandwidth throttling capabilities. There are varoius builds of unix/linux for free that will easily run on a spare box that won't need super specifications. L-A Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zrothum Posted July 12, 2007 Report Share Posted July 12, 2007 I think it's the MUD. Even I'm lagging like a 70yr old gettin nailed by three college boys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unknown Brother Posted July 13, 2007 Author Report Share Posted July 13, 2007 Nah, its not the mud. I called my ISP and they said it looks like theres something like 39 bittorrents clogging up the pipes. So I went around and uninstalled that with my music downloader, so its fine now.
