Post subject: how can i keep ping fluctuation from affecting my gameplay?
Here's the thing, HS is the best zone ever,but lately ive been lagging alot and thats been keeping me from playing. i thot it was because there was not alot of space on my computer, so i tried freeing up space on my harddrive. that wasnt the problem. In the morning i go on and i can play hs just fine, but as more people get on, it specs me and it says my average ping fluctuation breaks the limit (40). I dont play continuum that much, so im new to this problem, so can someone help me out plz!

It may be your signal/isp. What type of connection do you have? At certain times of the day there is more traffic on the internet. Signals also change at certain temperatures and humidity plays a role.

I had all kind of signal problems in the past. My ISP finally fix it (more or less).
Check your modem logs (if possible). I know I type http://192.168.100.1 to access mine.

I don't think it's the zone because my pings are about the same even if there are more people online.

But for all I know, it is an ASSS issue where you are losing a few packets and it's too much for you to play. Someone else will probably come up with a better response. (Cyan most likely)

Then again I still get disconnected randomly from the net (after the guy said there was hardly anything wrong but he fixed it)

Try using the built-in tracert functionality in Continuum and figure out where your bad ping times are coming from. If it's anywhere but the ASSS server, contact your ISP because it's their problem.

If you need more information, say so.

Had to click to display his post, but basically what cyan said was click "Trace" on continuum. If you want you can export it and attach the file here after you cycle a dozen times or so. The more cycles the better.
