Maybe Not a Tweak

Post by bbd123 »

Hey

I'm kinda new to this and I was trying to get a slight edge on my online gaming by tweaking my settings. Seems like after using TCP/IP optimizer the hitboxes don't register as well as before. I dont know if it's something I did or if it's just that I'm losing my skills :rolleyes: . My advertised speeds are 1.5mbs up 500 kbs down and here are my settings:

In the folder that you ran the optimizer from there would be a defualt settings file it made when you opened it, you could restore that. Your settings look good though and theres not much you can do to get an edge in online gaming other than finding servers yo get a great ping to.
