connection tips

Post by soly »

Hi guys I play alot of online games and with Americas Army im experiencing alot of lag. My ping will be low (well under 100) and my FPS will be in the 80's but im still getting that laggy warping effect. I have comcast and am using a SB5120 modem with a netgear rangemax router for my familys wireless network (8mb down 768kb up). Im hoping for some tweaks here with tcpoptimizer to help smooth out gameplay and my net speed.

DFI LANPARTY ULTRA-D (i guess im using a NIC??? never had to install modem or anything connection related.)
2 gigs OCZ platinum
x1900xt
X-FI
10k RPM raptor thank you

Download and run this WinSockFix. After reboot, post your new TCP Analyzer report:

Try the following with TCP Optimizer:

Modify All Network Adapters - check
network adapter selection - your NIC
MTU - 1496
TTL - 64
TCP Receive Window - 256256
MTU Discovery - Yes
Black Hole Detect - No
Selective Acks - Yes
Max Duplicate ACKs - 2
TCP 1323 Options:
Windows Scaling - checked
Timestamps - uncheck

Advanced Settings tab:
Max Connections per Server - 10
Max Connections per 1.0 Server - 20
LocalPriority - 1
Host Priority - 1
DNSPriority - 1
NetbtPriority - 1
Lan Browsing speedup - optimized
QoS: NonBestEffortLimit - 0
ToS: DisableUserTOSSetting - 0
ToS: DefaultTOSValue - 80
MaxNegativeCacheTtl - 0
NetFailureCacheTime - 0
NegativeSOACache Time - 0
LAN Request Buffer Size - 32768

You should set the router and modem to MTU 1500.
