Dr Venkman Posted November 17, 2008 Share Posted November 17, 2008 Anyone got any experience of sorting out lag online? I'm only getting it on gears of war and COD, fifa runs totally fine for me, which i guess is because EA have their own servers. I'm using a network adapter and when i test the connection everything is fine and the NAT reads open every time. Any help or ideas of where to start would be much appreciated.

Clay Posted November 17, 2008 Share Posted November 17, 2008 Gears of war has lag issues at the moment which they're trying to fix, it's mainly due to connecting to American hosts, which is something they need to fix. It's better to play during the day imo... lag free. Not sure about COD, press the back button and check your connection status, while you're in a game, it should have 3 or 4 green bars to be more or less lag free, if it's in the orange or red then there's probably something wrong with your connection. Saying that, how often is it? sometimes you just get unlucky and get stuck in a laggy match on COD, if it's not that often then there's nothing to worry about. What speed is it?

What speed is it? there's always 3 or 4 green bars when i check, occasionally drops down but then climbs back up again straight away, i'm not sure what exact speed my internet is tbh. at the moment i'm getting lag in every single game of gears or cod, non with fifa ever Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr Venkman Posted November 17, 2008 Share Posted November 17, 2008 not sure mate, is there an easy way of finding out? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mofo Posted November 17, 2008 Share Posted November 17, 2008 You can do speed checks online, but I don't know if that just tells you upload/download speeds? Your not downloading anything when you play are you?? our if you've only got say a 2meg connection You probably wouldn't be able to use the net at the same time...

mattypnufc Posted November 17, 2008 Share Posted November 17, 2008 Anyone got any experience of sorting out lag online? I'm only getting it on gears of war and COD, fifa runs totally fine for me, which i guess is because EA have their own servers. I'm using a network adapter and when i test the connection everything is fine and the NAT reads open every time. Any help or ideas of where to start would be much appreciated. You opened the ports on your router mate? http://www.xboxlivetheguide.co.uk/XBoxLiveTheGuide3.php?title=Which%20ports%20does%20Xbox%20Live%20use Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
