Help With Strange Lag

[*cryptc]

If you can only continue playing on BG, you have our condolences.

Since when did you start referring to yourself in plural Lost?

[*Lost and not Found]

Since we started playing Medieval Total War II, again.

And if you look at how the sentances were constructed, playing Baldur's Gate (1998) online, seems to be the 'less' preferred outcome.

P.S. Great, now the Mongols invaded and took three provinces from us. <_<
Time to make the Pope call a little Crusade...

thanks for the help...still no fix. Not sure if it ISP as I do fine at BG server. Will just have to cross my fingers.

Hmm total reinstall, checked everything client side. Played in traffic on BG NWN2 server as well and no issues.

But still problems on Sigil. Only thing I can see is that BG has about 150 ping for me as seen on gamespy and Sigil has 400. Maybe my distance (korea) is just too great...I don't crash, but over time my client gets "behind" the server and lag starts to grow to such a huge point that I basically ahve no control.

So I'm curious, is 400+ ping so bad? What kinds of pings do you guys have?

[*Lost and not Found]

BG is 500+ for me.
SCoD does show ping for me, but I presume it is low rather low since it works for me.

To be honest, I've not dealt with pings since Quake 3, but back then ping of 0-150 meant sweet gaming, while anything 400+ was just near unplayable.

eh, i tend to lag out when the party is big..

If you wait a seconnd before connecting or refresh srevr on gamespy Sigil should show a ping or latency number for everyone I think.

I was wondering if others who have no problem could give me their "ping". If everyone who is doing well has low pings then I guess I can just give up and figure this is all about the network, my Korean location, and ISP. But if others have high Pings maybe it is client side.

*Edit: In my last post, i was trying to say: SCoD does not show ping for me.

However, under the History Tab, it shows that SCoD has a ping in the range 30-60 for me. ( I wouldn't say the game is lagless for me, since most of my lag is caused by my poor hardware. )

Today, BG was in the range of 200-400.

Hmm interesting...where is Sigil server located? Where do you live.

Most people seem to ping better on BG.

Server is located in Oslo, Norway.
