i think the most important thing is
TNF and SDE should stop blaming the lag on player's computer/isp
admit your fault, SDE

Att soblueGM Re Path Ping to 211.43.149.200 and 199.

More information for you to have a discussion with your ISP.

I have lodged network abuse tickets with
ARIN, APNIC, KRNIC and CD Networks on the use of the two IP Addresses 211.43.149.200 and
199 within the ARIN address space.

Game Testing
For the benifit of SDEnternet I have conducted further tests of the Lag being delivered to your
customers via your incorrectly configured ISP hosted servers.

I have tested the NF application on both servers from four Australian ISP's.
Telstra Bigpond 50mb Cable Link
Nextgen Networks 1GB Fibre Link
Optus 20mb Cale Link
TPG Internet ADSL2+ ADSL Link.

I have used 4 x different loaded PC's with only OS installed No Antivirus or Firewall loaded with
optimised TCP/IP connections.
Minimal Memory is 4gb Windows XP/Vista/7.

All tested systems displayed lag on average 2-4 sec during normal game play.
During Harbour Assualt on IJN Harbour Kaiser with RedSky lag increased to 7 sec and multiple
crashes observed.

In comparision playing other MMORPG's World of Tanks ( hosted USA), need for Speed World
(hosted USA), Guild Wars (hosted USA) and World of Warcraft (USA Hosted Server).

No Lag , No drop outs.

What are you trying to say alstein?

pinged UK user caez-sindher matahari identic IP.

me too! it's getting very lag
NF used around 1.2-1.5GB memory
i wish NF come back to the past, 4 nations without HS :))

whenever i used my nebby, i encountered lag... why?

experiencing lags too.... i think its not the ISP..... The game consumes all of my 2GB
memory...

now, if mod/GM/TNF will suggest add memory as a solution, not good.... tsk tsk tsk....

a lot of the lag, especially in GB2 games, is because of the number of people leveling
new SN crews. when you've got 30-50 FF/DD/CL/CA in a game, it adds significantly to
the number of auto AA, AA gunfire, and such, above and beyond normal levels in a
game.

the same for blitz games where you've got more than 40 players in a Hobbit Map.

"if" the lag is only since the SN release, it'll go away once people finish playing with
their new toys and resume more 'normal' playing habits.

if it's pre-existing, most likely it's because of the additional burden of hackshield and
such. if it's from before that, well maybe it's time for a system upgrade.

I'm playing with only 1gb of ram on my system, and a measly geforce fx 5200 vid card
that can't even run NwN2, or Dawn of War 2, let alone several of the newer games.
so *shrugs*

I have lag, but mostly Spikes, from 1 to 2 seconds. Its more anoying than the lag. Its so
hard to play.
