High Ping

ZoneStyle told me to post here about my lag problem, but I know it's unfixable. I've gotten reported twice now because I lag/spike- but I can't help it. It's because I have satellite internet. I live in a rural-like area 30 minutes away from the city's center, so the internet I have is the best I can possibly get for where I live.

Are there any ways at all to even improve my ping/lag/spike a little bit? When I play my FGunz, all my unnecessary programs, processes, and applications are closed...so it's not that.


Please help!

Thanks + cheers.

You can clearly see that your PING is 700-750, the only solution to do is to reduce all the downloads that you do, and to stop the downloading on all the connections on your router.

I don't download stuff while on Gunz, and neither do the other people in my house.

I've been reported twice for something I can't help...so eventually I'm going to be banned just because of my ****ing internet. I've spent over $50 on this game, and I really enjoy playing it- I have no intention of being banned and losing all my prems and my clan and characters...

Are you connected to your router/modem with a wired or wireless connection? Switching to wired can help reducing the ping.

Yeah, I'm using wireless atm, but I've got 4/5 bars. I'll try connecting directly and see what happens.

You have some bad speed & ping tests there.
Could you please stop using wireless connection and connect your modem to the PC directly?
When you do that, make another tests and post the results here.
