This guide attempts to flow in increasing levels of technical difficulty for the most part balanced by the most likely order of causes. There are some tweaks relevant to Linux users here and there, but most of the literature floating around about these topics are Windows specific and that is reflected in the content and focus of the guide. Firstly , computers in Windows that aren't set to High Performance will take longer to process network data, adding CPU-based latency to your connection.
In other words, a gamer with a capable CPU won't need some features, while some settings are better left on for a gamer with a CPU that maxes out. With this in mind, I have attempted to detail the apparent consensuses amongst general users and professionals about certain features and functions, especially since many have tradeoffs that bear some consideration.
Most modern systems, including Windows, feature a driver rollback that will allow you to experiment. Fifthly , apparently net adapters are able to be 'turned off' by Windows. Yes, even Linux. In case you think there are some issues with the claims of the document, I did perform a fair amount of research for this. If you still find issue with some claims, i. Lastly, this guide was initially informed by another guide, which an intellectual debt is owed to.
And of course, thank you for reading! I hope this guide helps you game on. You can skip this step if you feel adequately technical already. From a Speedguide. From a TechNet source, Microsoft themselves suggest that users should, when performance tuning for microsecond-sensitive aka latency networks: Originally posted by TechNet, aka Microsoft :. If your line has a Maximum Transmission Unit MTU limit of bytes per packet and Windows is trying to send bytes per packet, your line will constantly snip 8 bytes off the Windows-borne packet, causing fragmentation.
Fortunately, while divining the correct value is its own work, the process of changing the MTU value is relatively simple and painless. You just have to be willing to use command-line! There are, in fact, a couple of ways to do this step. The most self-reliant way is unfortunately the one that uses the most guesswork. Guides will tell you to drop back from a MTU value of by X until you hit For instance, Fortnite community claims that the minimum internet speed for Fornite should be 10 Mgbps.
If one of the included chains in the online game network suffers from a delay in sending and receiving data packages which contain game information, then the online game lags. The chain includes your end computer, laptop or mobile device, the ISP, internet gateway and nodes , the datacenter connection of the game server and the game server itself. Online game latency refers to the time a data package needs to be sent or received from your computer , laptop or mobile device to a server or host computer located somewhere in the world and back.
In games where timing is key, primarily in first-person shooter games FPS and real-time strategy RTS a low ping is advisable and its a key to a smooth gameplay.
For example, the time your graphic or audio cards need to update your screen or play a sound file. Online games require a network over the internet internet network. All actions, movements, chats and so on are sent and received via servers and clients. You also need to have an active internet connection from an internet service provider ISP which is used to communicate with the game server part of the online game network.
There are the 3 major ENDS included. An Online Game Network includes: A. Players computer B. Internet Service Provider D. Datacenter or ISP where the game server is connected F. Gamer 1's PC 2. Gamer's ISP 4. Game server ISP 6. Game server 7. Gamer 2's ISP 8. Gamer 2's PC As you can see in the picture of an " Online Game Network " the network circle is quite complex and there is not always only one end causing lag or latency issues for gamers.
Gamer PC is playing with Player 2 2. Gamer PC located in Russia in an online game. Both joined a huge virtual game world realm with thousands of players on a game server located in the United States.
Player 1 just got a new gaming computer and Player 2 has a five year old standard set-up computer. Let's play the online game now to understand latency and lag issues! Player 1 enters the game world and adds Player 2 , who was already playing the game for a while, to his contact list in order to chat with him. Both agree to meet in a specific location to hunt down beasts. After some traveling, Player 1 and Player 2 are virtually meeting. Nalem's Collection.

Double check that your router is running the latest firmware, since newer firmware can optimize and patch the router.
Also, connect a computer directly to the modem with an Ethernet cable and run a SpeedTest to assess the speeds from your ISP.
While the initial download of the game, as well as the patches and updates, use significant bandwidth, the actual gameplay uses surprisingly little data, contrary to what many folks would think. Video streams such as NetFlix can consume 3GB per hour for high definition video.
Gaming, on the other hand, consumes data on the order of 20MB to 80MB per hour of gameplay, depending on the game. With such low data requirements for online gameplay, getting a faster internet connection is unlikely to yield significant benefits unless there are other simultaneous users on the connection. The real key here is to keep bandwidth dedicated to the game, and to not have lower priority traffic stealing bandwidth.
While a video stream relies on a continuous stream of large packets of data in the download direction, online gaming is based on small packets in both the download and upload directions. The gameplay of MMORPGs is also exquisitely sensitive to lost packets, and losing a single one can cause the game to stall. For first person shooters and racing games , the emphasis is on minimizing latency, which is a measure of the time it takes for a packet of data to go from one point to another.
With the need for a stable, secure, and low latency connection, serious gamers will espouse the benefits of a wired connection. If you have a bunch of CAT5e lying around, use that. Wired Ethernet should be your first choice when it comes to connecting your PC to your network.
However, given the configuration of so many houses, only the most dedicated will be moved to renovate just for network considerations. A router is the grand poobah of a network, and These routers, while fine in their day, are also not designed for multiple devices; they aren't designed to handle all of the smartphones, tablets, and media streaming devices that clog up a modern home network. So get a good router.
