Does anyone else that uses broadcasting on xfire deal with ping spike..?My normal ping is 37 but when I hit broadcast I can see me unload on a person but they kill me and I did not register 1 shot.I hit tab and my ping is well over 800.Could anybody please tell me a fix,I want to broadcast all day everyday....

I think you might be eatting bandwidth like crazy or possible your computer is incapable of handling the massive amount of information being thrown at it.

I will look into this for you Vapor, will post again when I get home...still at work...shhhh

Wi-fi = A method by which you network your PC with your modem or router.

DSL = A method by which your modem connects to the wider internet.

ehh maybe its buggedd or something try reinstalling CF
cause you know when you press TAB and you hold it your fps rate drops so maybe its that but i doubt it
uhh call your internet provider and ask them to run a line test i did this and my ping before was 45 after the test it changed to 16 since they found some errors and **** in my cables

Reinstalling CF will do nothing.

Basically it works like this. Almost all of the home connections people pay for have very little upload. When you broadcast you are capping that upload not allowing for as much information to be downloaded.

What you need to do is reduce how much you are uploading while broadcasting. The ways to do this are..
1) Set your resolution down. (800x600)
2) Set the broadcast quality down.
3) If it's still bad then you can try to turn off broadcasting sound.

If you still get massive ping spikes then you are going to need to upgrade your service plan for your ISP to have a larger upload.
