Well, I did some experimenting last night, and with some tools that I normally use to test software performance, I was able to throttle down mynetwork traffic andcontributed the problem tolag. I think what was said about the server and the client (my computer) tracking different locations of the ships is exactly right.
The problem does seem occur whenever my ping is over 200. To correct the problem:
- Disconnect from the game
- Shell to a terminal prompt
- Run"ipconfig /release"
- Run "ipconfig /renew"
- Reconnect to the game.
Almost alwaysmy ping will drop down to 50 or so and the problems disappear.
The bad part about this is that there is no indication to theplayer that the poor network connectivity is an issue; the game runs perfectlyexcept that my shots going right through them.
