Need help tweaking for FPS latency/ Hit registration/ Lag free

Genco · Post by **Genco** » Tue Jun 25, 2013 7:24 am

I really appreciate if anyone can help me. I have latency/lag/hit registration/delay issues. I don't care about the bandwidth, all i care is to be able to play FPS games on fair grounds.

1. What is your advertised internet speed ? i.e. 4Mbps/800kbps

2. What actual transfer speed do you get? 3.56Mbps/670kbps

3. Who is your Internet Provider (ISP), and what type of connection do you have ? TTNet, PPoE DSL.

4. What are your current settings ?

Code: Select all

TCP options string = 020405ac01010402
MTU = 1492
MTU is optimized for PPoE DSL broadband. If not, consider raising MTU to 1500 for optimal throughput.
MSS = 1452
MSS is optimized for PPPoE DSL broadband. If not, consider raising your MTU value.
Default TCP Receive Window (RWIN) = 65340 
RWIN Scaling (RFC1323) = 0 bits 
Unscaled TCP Receive Window = 65340 

In Windows 7, unless "TCP/IP Auto-Tuning" is disabled, only the Current TCP Window is displayed. Use the latest TCP Optimizer for tweaking.
You seem to be using Google Chrome. Note that Chrome can modify the TCP Window for sockets it creates under some OSes, and therefore servers may not get your correct RWIN value. You may want to test with a different browser. FAQ
RWIN is a multiple of MSS
Other RWIN values that might work well with your current MTU/MSS: 
63888  (up to 2 Mbit lines, depending on latency. MSS * 44) 
127776 (1-5 Mbit lines, depending on latency. MSS * 44 * 2) 
255552 (2-14 Mbit lines, depending on latency. MSS * 44 * 2^2) 
511104 (8-30 Mbit lines, depending on latency. MSS * 44 * 2^3) 
1022208 (25-60 Mbit lines depending on latency. MSS * 44 * 2^4) 
bandwidth * delay product (Note this is not a speed test):

Your TCP Window limits you to: 2614 kbps (327 KBytes/s) @ 200ms
Your TCP Window limits you to: 1045 kbps (131 KBytes/s) @ 500ms
MTU Discovery (RFC1191) = ON
Time to live left = 44 hops
TTL value is ok.
Timestamps (RFC1323) = OFF
Selective Acknowledgements (RFC2018) = ON
IP type of service field (RFC1349) = 00000000 (0)

5. Your modem/router/ap brand ? AirTies Air 5340

6. Your Operating System ? Windows 7 SP1 x64

So, no help?

You wont be able to tweak any settings to get a faster connection. Your connection speed is controlled by your ISP.

Your current speed is not bad, but it's not really that great for fast action shooting games.

There is several factors that can contribute to latency in games and a slow connection.

1. Make sure you have updated wiring in your house.
2. To many DSL filters can slow down your connection.
3. The DSL modem may have a bad configuration. If it's a combo deal modem/router all in one, you may need to open ports for the game.
4. If your using wifi try directly connecting to the modem with an ethernet cable and do a speed test and latency test.
5. I assume your computer is newer and is able to run the game smoothly, but make sure you have no malware or viruses.
6. Don't run any downloads or other programs when playing.
7. The game server you are connected to when playing might be far away and there will be a latency no matter what.

If you can upgrade your internet speeds I would suggest doing that. You might want to check out other internet service providers in your area.
