Lag!

[misssweet135]

Hi

When I join a game or make a host game with over 3 people, it's so laggy!
What can I do to play the game without a lag?

I hope you can help me!

Get a faster connection, of course.

Make sure your internet connection is fast enough to support other people from who-knows-where. Also, keep your CPU usage down to at least 15%.

Also, keep your CPU usage down to at least 15%.

O.o

Am I the only one that knows what CPU Usage really does? In a game, you should never have your CPU Usage drop below 80% (40% on dual-core processors). If the CPU Usage of the program goes too low, the game won't update as much, and that's bad.

If you're getting bad lag, it may be because the hoster has a slow connection, or someone with a laggy connection has joined the server. Or your connection isn't fast enough. Remember, SRB2's net-code isn't very good. It's very easy to make it lag because it waits for each player's input and then moves ahead one frame.
