Strange upload lag? in BYOND Help
|
|
BYOND Build Number: 458.1050
Operating System: Vista 32bit
Video/Graphics Card: Radeon Go 7600
Game Hub/Link: All games.
Internet Connection Type: Cable, 7.5down, 0.5up capped.
Firewalls/Routers: Linksys Wireless router, WRT54G2
Problem Description:
In all BYOND games I try to play, I have lag spikes quite often, which doesn't allow me to move, speak, etc. for up to 1 minute on occasions. It also sometimes logs me out. This doesn't occur in other games at all, only BYOND games.
Howwweverrrr, what gets me is, I can see what everyone else is doing, but I appear to be frozen.
In an attempt to combat the problem, I did all the updates, assigned a port to my pager and forwarded it on my router, and forwarded the ports of the games I play. No change.
I only just moved house, and I'm pretty sure I didn't experience these problems at my old place on this computer.
When downloading the BYOND client through BYOND.com during one of these spikes, the speed was at about 30KB/s. I got my friend to attempt the download at the same time, and he got about 700KB/s. I usually get at least 500KB/s from every other website.
My only guess is that somehow the route between my computer and BYOND's servers is *bad*? I dunno. If anyone could help me solve this problem, it'd be muchly appreciated.
*P.S*. I've tried directly connecting my computer to the modem, instead of the router.
Steps to Reproduce Problem:
I join a game and wait.

If you're looking at the connection details for the wireless router, how much signal strength can you muster in average and on minimum?
How frequently do you get these spikes (in minutes/hours)?
