I found the strangest fix to my SRB2 netplay problem. I messed around with Windows Task Manager, and it turns out that srb2win.exe runs better in netgames when I set its priority at its lowest setting, whereas if I set its priority to realtime, the framerate lag gets much, much worse. In fact, this laptop's a duo processor, and I've tried running netgames on one processor and both processors respectively, and honestly I think it runs even better if I set it at one processor. Try and figure that one out.
My guess is that there's some process that handles the netplay part of SRB2, and the more srb2win.exe is emphasized, the less focus the computer puts on the online process. I don't know. Anyone else have an idea?
