bad connection to game

Postby (SWGO)Speedy » Wed Jul 17, 2013 12:05 am

I start loosing connection easily to any server in swbf2. I love to play the game, but how can you enjoy it with such bad connection? So my point, i get crashes, freezing, and major lag very easily and quickly. Do any of you know why?

There are a number of things you can try to reduce lag:

1. Check whether any other people in your house are using the internet/playing games; personal experience tells me this is usually the main culprit for laggy games.
2. Close any other third party applications like steam or xfire whilst running the game. Lag is often traced back to memory deficiency.
3. Turn down the graphics settings in-game.
4. It could be a problem with your router, in which case you will need to fix it.
5. Get more RAM.
6. Get a better video card.

Hope this help,

7. Could be a bad route to the server, thus your ISPs fault. This used to be an issue for me when I tried to watch YouTube.

For example, you could use CenturyLink. My grandmother uses it and you want to die after just trying to get to google, nevertheless play SWBF2

Where are you located in the world Speedy?

The servers are U.S. servers so further distances make things worse.
