TOPIC:

I've been known across the internet to have an extremely obnoxious personality, so I just wanna say sorry for disturbing the race this week. Idk, on random occasions, my ping skyrockets occasionally, out of the blue. I'm from Haubstadt, Indiana, and one guy on here is from Lawrenceburg, so I know that's not the reason. Once again, sorry for disturbing the race. I didn't mean to. I guess I shouldn't be focusing on league racing if all my ping's gonna do is go to the thousands. Any help on how to lower it? My roomate turned off all his programs, and I closed all of mine except for Vent and DTR2. Still extremely high.

well if your in college it seems like and your in dorms theres probably tons of people on the internet dowloading/uploding even watching youtube or listening to streaming music. that seems like the problem if thts ur case

No, I'm not in college. I'm in a group home, where people with disorders can live until they get out on their own. We have roomates. I have Aspergers, Tourette's Syndrome, and OCD. But some of the staff and housemates use the internet sometimes.

Davey sorry to hear about your situation,
I commend you for being understanding about your ping and how a high ping messes up the game for every one.
Now that we know your situation we will try to be helpful and see if there is anything that can be done to lower your ping.
When several are on the same router the signal is spit several ways and DTR2 requires the whole signal.
You might try to practice in the browser at a time when you are the only one on the net and see how that works.

look at it like this most servers can move about 1000 bits of data per second if your ping is at 100 then your moving 100 bps
so if all 10 players are at 100bps your using up the intire bandwith of data transfer. My point is if your ping is at 1000 you just used up the entire stream of data tranfer and now the server is a lagging mess of spinning cars trying recieve data.

Now thats the way im explaning it. It really isn't like that, but just a good way to explain why high pings won't work.

Another way to put it........You are too fat to fit through the pipe with the rest of us.

Try to get everyone to let you race at a certain time with no one else using bandwidth. That's really all you can do.
It may be your provider. I use to pull 4.5 mbps,which isn't great but plenty to race with. Now I can't get 1.5. I'd like to race but it's impossible with that. Go to speedtest . net and check your speed when no one is on.

Hey Davey,

You were banned from Vent only for talking during the heat race I believe it was. We don't allow talking while a race is going on. You were fine to talk before the racing and after but while cars are on the track it does disturb the other drivers. You're welcome to come back and try again next week!

I raced with 1.5. My ping was around 60-100 and it was fairly laggy to most people looking at my car, but it was better than dial up (usually)

Yeah. I think several people were using the internet at my house. I know that sometimes my ping is lower, but that's probably when less bandwidth is used.
