Author Topic: 0 Latency and High Lag?!  (Read 3987 times)

This has probably been established but ping is determined by Internet, so you could hve really low ping but then what determines performance is PC specs? Specifically ram, and CPU (sometimes OS if its maybe like windows 2000...but it should still run well).

He needs a better graphics card. Getting more RAM would help too

If he is just running a dedicated server he doesnt need a better graphics card something the only thing that would actually have to get rendered or whatever is text in the terminal which the CPU can do fine. RAM does help but idk how much he currently has.

Latency doesn't always cause lag.
Latency is connection strength.
Lag is just.. well... lag

your post is completely redundant
Latency is the amount of time it takes to receive an answer from the server in miliseconds
Lag is the graphical slowdown of a client and is nowhere related to latency

Incorrect
Lag is when your connection is interrupted, slowed, or completely stopped to the server, resulting in jittery players.
Low framerate, however, is the graphical slowdown of a client and is nowhere related to latency.

Lag is when your connection is interrupted, slowed, or completely stopped to the server, resulting in jittery players, movement and tools lag, and weird particle lag. Also the "LAG" symbol appears.

Sorry for triple post, had to edit some things in the above, refer to quote instead of original.

No, he just needs to turn down his settings.

If you still get lag try v sync

My Graphics Card happens to be a Nvidia GeForce 9400 GT, as for my ram... i got 1024Mb Ram left :S i need that.

Helped out a little, problem still persists

This is most likely client-sided lag. In other words, your computer is lagging because there are too many bricks, players, particles, or other objects. You may need to turn down your graphics settings.

I tried lowering the settings on Blockland, problem still persists

Do you have any other programs open while playing Blockland?

normally, no. I mostly have everything off when i play, and i think the Latency being 0 Might only be a symptom, i tried playing a few other games that are a bit higher quality than Blockland, and they all lagged... except for Ragnarok Online :3 smooth as always

Try this out and see if this helps. Go to the options in Blockland, go to the Network tab, change your internet connection setting to dial-up (Or you can tinker around with the custom setting), press done.
