Umm, when I'm playing my game, my ping stays good for a little, or sometimes longer.. Than all of a sudden, it goes from 50-100, and so on. It'll like.. keep switching back and forth.. than sometimes it'll stay at 100 (and so on). I don't get it. :sad: It didn't used to this.
If anyone cud get my ping back to the way it was, my respect goes to you.. Help would be greatly apprieciated.
:mult:
What are you using to qualify the time, if it's the game's lobby it's likely that's your problem, what game is it and what hardware spec are you enjoying.
umm i look at it myself to time the ping, sometimes it's 150s O_O, but umm.. the game is called GunzOnline. my comp specs: intel pent 4 processor, 512 RAM, windows XP, decent video card.
This ping test you're running, part of the function of the game? And what are you pinging exactly?
No, the game doesn't have a ping test. It shows the ping. Could someone just give me a few point outs on what to do to try to stop this?
Try your computer on a different internet connection somewhere. Maybe your connection is lagging.
Run some test at dslreports.com and see what kind of speeds you're getting.
Yea, that's prolly the problem. I'll try to sign up with a different ISP. Thanks all :D
:wave:
Well, it could be any number of different things, its really hard to say since your posts provide no details at all as to what game you're referring to, if you're using a computer or console system, what networking equipment you have, who your current ISP is, etc......Quote:

Good luck!
It's completely possible that it's a server side problem. Especially when a game becomes popular.
sorry for reviving old topic but the game is called Gunz Online.
It was already in one of your replies.
Just saying, don't be so quick to blame it on your ISP until you tested it as 3fingersalute indicated. You might be changing your ISP when the problem is not yours to begin with.
Definitely test via dslreports.com and than at least ping yahoo.com with a load to see the response. Who is serving your DNS? Your ISP?
