He means "get a good connection".

Maybe the connection is effected by to many games...? I get a lag in some other games i play..

What do you mean "by too many games"? A broadband connection is recommended for online games such as Continuum, so you might wanna get that Mr. 2.3% S2C

Also, make sure your RAM can keep up with everything that's running, so it won't interfere in your connection.

What i mean by "other games" is other besides continuum.

Uhm, your connection probably isn't fast enough to handle all the traffic your system wants to send, just upgrade to a faster connection and you're probably fine.

On the other hand something like a firewall or other type of network component could be messing with traffic, but that probably isn't causing your problem.

Yeah your right of all the people playing continuum i'm probaly the slowest.

I didn't say that, and Purge didn't either.

What connection type (/speed) do you have?

Smithy101 · Thing 2 Gender: Joined: Jan 28 2004 Posts: 428 Offline

Well. For one thing i have high speed internet.

What company? Are you on a router/network?

Smithy101 · Thing 2 Gender: Joined: Jan 28 2004 Posts: 428 Offline

Yes. I have a router. Basically for linux. But yeah.

Basically for Linux? Uh, what?

Purge · Posted: Thu Jan 06, 2005 10:04 pm Post subject:

I'm not too fond of Linux; but I bet Solo can help you on that.

I was just wondering what he said that for, and I think he just tried to look "cool" or something.

One of my friend's internet was really, really slow and it turned out his router had a cable plugged into itself. It was really stupid, but check that?

Umm you shouldn't need a router to install Linux...do you know what a router is? And when you say "high speed internet" how fast is that? I think you mean DSL/CAble but there are 4 speeds in there.
