Ping
My ping is REALLY bad. I don't understand why my ping is 100-200. It spikes 100 all the time and is never steady. I live in the U.S, Tennessee. I also use a laptop and game booster premium. Also, I use AT&T DSL internet. Can someone know why my ping is SO BAD, even though I live in the U.S.? It makes no sense at all!

Play in a server that's close to you, set priority to low as that other guy said. If you're using windows vista or 7 and it won't let you set the priority make sure you run as administrator, to do that type taskmgr in the search bar right click and click run as administrator. -

1 - Uninstall Gamebooster, you don't need it.
2 - Your ISP isn't very good, thus you have that ping. Try upgrading your internet if you can afford.
3 - Make sure your internet is private and no one is downloading anything on your connection. Also, try opening the CrossFire ports.

My ISP is Cox communications and I live in Arizona. Ping: US West:20-30. Canada Servers:Echo,Alpha,Bravo/ect: 70-80. I have wireless internet -
I've had att before and the internet speed isnt that great and their towers always need repairs so that might be the problem. If your using wifi try connecting directly into your modem. I live in northern MS and I get 54 ping and it spikes to 60 sometimes and I use centurytel.Gamebooster is not necessary uninstall it .pr0000000000 wrote: »My ping is REALLY bad.

My ISP is Hughenet They crap! Satellite broadband internet with a 800 MB download limit... I get between 1-3K ping, Changes every second -
100 is not bad ping
When in the lobby open task manager and set priory for crossfire to low
It really lowered mine from 201 to 113
Well, before I got AT& DSL internet, my ping was 60-70 steady, I never lagged and now I do, I also have Windows 7... If that effects anything. I will try to set priory for crossfire to low. Thanks for all the comments guys

Check your connection for intruders. It's easy to find the default password of routers only by knowing its network name. Might not be the case, but do the following:
-Change the connection password, and restart the router (That should prevent persons from using your old password)
-Change the connection name (Kinda useless if you change the password :P)
Also, what kind of encryption are you using?
