Fed up with this constant lag bursts

[Geno-Fox]

Ok, first off im running on AOL 9.0 (yeah i know its dial-up, im switching to cable in a week).

I've noticed since yesterday, i was tristing and i relized that i was lagging constintly(1-2 seconds no lag to 1-2 seconds lag)

so i pulled up /fps

my ping is shooting from 297-1969

0 Skip

74-75 fps

my video is directdraw



i've defragged my computer, virus checked, cleared all internet stuff(history, pass's, ect).

and it still lags like crazy

[Geno-Fox]

could someone spot me somehelp?

[Wing Zero]

It could be due to the recent jump in D2 sales. I have it to from time to time. Dunno if there is a fix to it besides telling people to stop playing :O

[torrid mind]

Yeah, I pretty much can not play with summon necros. I played with DM and gally and couldn't tell what the **** was going on.

[little-cheeze]

get better internet

[Darkmatter]

I'd use Direct3D just in case...

[Geno-Fox]

ok well thanks for the suggestions

[Ntrik_]

if ur talking about everything freezing, for like 5 seconds, its the server lag.

[Dragnskull]

i havnt experienced lag like that in a LONG Time

granted, D2 DOES lag, im not saying it doesnt, but sounds like you got it -bad-, even when i was on AOL a few years ago it wasnt that bad

what speed do you connect at? should be hitting at LEAST 44kbps (thats what i use to reach)

[Renzokuken]

D2 only lags if i spike.
