lag meter

Hi guys.

I mentioned a problem where my avitar fails to move when I push the button, and only moves a minute or two afterwards..

I went to the help section in the game and selcted lag meter.

The screen showed the following:

Client - Normal (Green dot)
Network - Possible bad connection or file sharing app (Red circle)
Server - Noraml (Green circle)

I am connecting via an adsl 256k line. My network connection speed is 100mb/s

Any idea of what I can look at regarding this issue?

Regards.

256k is awfully slow. That's about as slow as DSL gets. And that's just your download speed. Your upload is gonna be just a fraction of that. If it's at all possible for you, I'd suggest getting faster Internet service.

The lag meter is useless.

Go into preferences, general, and uncheck "show search panel in overlay bar".

That will expose the network meters hiding behind the redundant search box.

The two meters are packet loss and traffic. If there's *any* sustained activity in the packet loss column you're likely to have network lag.

You can also hit control shift 1 to display a more detailed network activity meter in the statistics floater.

Between the network meters and occasional looks at the statistics floater you'll better be able to adjust your network "maximum bandwidth" setting to avoid network lag.
