hi everyone! i've been coming back to play here and there but it has been hard because of my terribile lag and my ping always being 300 and over. I didn't normally have bad lag when i played more often. I never play with other windows open so i dont think that is the problem so do you guys know any other ways to get a lower ping?

Re: ping
Do you connect your computer through a phone line? Can you use your phone while you are online?
Do you have Comcast or Verizon..
OR satellite internet
Or do you connect wirelessly on a computer to someone else around you or wirelessly at home?
Connecting to someone else and a phone line will screw your ping and slow your internet down

ping and latency
broadband really helps - but if you dont have it , try my tips below
Your settings
It dosent matter?? wrong,very wrong
This is the second most important part of the game/aside from your actual play
since most core dumps can be down to a fraction of a second in timing,
it is crucial that you give yourself the very best advantage of/fps/reduced lag/and cpu load
try my settings if you dont believe the difference it can make
Detail settings
Font-billinear
object textures-nearest
Wall textures-mipmap nearest
Floor texture-off
True color textures-off
Persp correction-off
Smooth shading-off
Alpha blending-on
line antiailiasing-off
polygon antial-off
Floor detail-no floor
dithering-off
floor mirror-off
Preferences
Sparks-off
explosions-off
Sky movement-off
show fps-on
lower sky-off
upper sky-off
high rim-off
if you are used to having all the bells and whistles on - it is going to look a little plain to you - but try it ingame at least for a few days ,then compare yoor results to having it all turned on

Re: ping
I would have thought that those tips only affect FPS.

Re: ping
yes it does give u better fps
but if you have a low end comp it can also help with cpu load
which acts like lag - but at your end
give it a try - it may or may not give a noticable difference
depending on your system
