Epic lag.

[Hopes]

Lately, i've been having some epic lag problems. I duno what the hell is causing it, but here is a screenshot. .

With ping like that I'd assume you are the server :V

[Slyfox]

oh man the only other player I know who had a lag spike that horrific was ammar

[Dark-Assassin]

Wow, a ping of 91003 is quite a bit.

[Ænima]

I think that large negative number is caused by integer overflow, since technically ping time can never be negative.

Hopes: Do you have an AMD dual core?

[one_Two]

I thought a negative ping was caused by a disparency between server time and client time.

[Ænima]

That's also possible. Or if windows corrects the system clock during a ping.

Which is

a disparency between server time and client time.

Do I have a what??

[Ænima]

That still wouldn't explain his horrible lag though, just the negative ping.

What's an AMD dual core?

That made me laugh... Either way an AMD dual core = A CPU (your processor in your computer) with 2 cores, made by AMD (Not Intel).

I know that. But I've heard some rumors about AMD dual cores causing problems in seemingly-unrelated areas.

I thought a negative ping was caused by a disparency between server time and client time.

Or a time machine.

I thought a negative ping was caused by a disparency between server time and client time.

FYI, the ping measurement is completely independent on the time on the client.

[-Jes-]

From what I can understand, the ping 'result' is sent from server to client as a 16-bit integer (like everything else).

This has a value range of −32,768 to 32,767; anything more or less and it overflows to the other end.
