I know that there was a lot of talk about client-side lag last night in chat. Again, not knowing much as to what would cause that with regard to my internet connection, router quality, and computer quality, I can say that I play numerous extremely detailed MMORPGs (e.g. Dungeons & Dragons Online, Battlefield) at max video quality and do not experience lag about 99.5% of the time (occasionally I have an antivirus scan or windows update, or am downloading something else in the background, and those cause a bit of latency).
So I wonder, how much my lag spike experience in HC can be attributed to my own equipment? I run an Asus high-performance gaming laptop, a D-Link DGL high-capacity gaming router, and have the maximum-level home use internet available through Comcast, which has a 21.50 Mbps (peak 24 Mbps) download speed, and a 5.65 Mbps (peak 6.4 Mbps) upload speed.
If there are any solutions that
@Kainzo or anyone else can offer that would help me experience fewer lag spikes, then I would be up for adopting them!
Thanks,
