well its been a while since the last time i've posted here... but anyway, im having trouble with my 450ms latency in game...

i tested my connection and i got a 1716 kbps download and 352 kbps upload.. (from speedtest.net)
and 598 kbps download, 109kbps upload and a 236ms latency from a chicago server (from dslreports.com)

my setting on halo is the AVG option..
im running halo with all video options on low and a 800x600 resolution... and still my latency is killing me....

is there any way to improve it?

thnx in advance!

Um, sry to say this, but the answer to your question is most likely going to be "No, we can't help you improve on that."  :-\

With a 236ms (~1/4 second) base latency I'm guessing you're a good distance from the US-based Halo servers (such as the BFM Racing ones for instance, IN Chicago...)

[Hmmm, oh, I see... Brazil, eh?...]

Yes, you're going to have latency-caused lag (AKA "Aussie Lag" around here  :siderofl: ) in pretty-much ANY of the Australian, US, or British servers, I'm afraid, and unless you can find an ISP with faster-than-light backbone connectivity ( ::)  ;) ) I'm afraid you're stuck with what you've got.  :-\

Sorry about that....  :sigh:

well i already changed my internet speed (from 600kbps to 2000kbps) but it didnt change much in my game play, i just wanted to know if there was a way.. since there isnt i will have to go with my slow motion rockets and nades that never hit anything xD

seems ill be around bothering my gunners with my latency XD

thanks very much Mxy!!!

see you around Bfm servers!

Yeah, sorry.... You'll just have to get used to it, I guess....

FYI: Those big DOWNLOAD speed numbers don't matter: It's your UPLOAD speed (as measured by dslreports, NOT SpeedTest!) that would usually matter, but as I said, that's "overwhelmed" due to your latency....  :roll eyes:

'Hope to see you around, tho!
