I'm a firm believer of this not being true. Yes I play with 700ms-2500ms.
To my router AND to warmane's realm ip!
0% Packet loss. So yes that cannot be true.
What I've done so far:
Upgraded firmware on router
Upgraded network drivers
Ran hardwired to router AND modem
Bought new ethernet cable
Tried 2 computers
Tried my mother-in-laws internet (fiber)
Used countless latency fixers.
Flushed DNS/Registered DNS
Used different DNS's
Tracert shows everything fine
Ping shows normal
Thought high latency was the issue until I started hitting 690ish and was still as bad as 4Kms.
Still the same skipping and porting.
It has to be server side.
Thank you for the response and the forward! I appreciate it!
