i agree with most of the people in this thread. lan latency in the competitive scene is standard now, and if you can't support it you just can't expect everyone to accommodate your lag. i simply refuse to play non-lan latency games because 1. it's unrealistic and bad practice 2. extremely frustrating and 3. it's so easy to leave and find a lan latency game in seconds.

at the very least keep lan latency on and set to extra high

How about putting no LAN latency in your game name or when you advertise for the game, that way I and everyone else won't have to waste our time joining/finding another game.

I can deal with L1 or L2 or L3...but bnet latency is a no go.

I kick/leave if person doesn't have AH on.

amazing rant , top notch. you should think about putting that into audio.

P.S. if you're wireless, try to go wired. that solved my Lan latency lags (even my non-lan latency lags)

i went wired and went from lagging at normal latency to being able to play every game lag free at LAN latency.

i got cables running in my house right accross the hall because i dont have a phone plug in my PC's room so i have to use long ass extensions. you gotta make sure you dont trip on those.

And i have to constantly plug and unplug my modem and all my setup shit because my dad wants to keep his modem in his room. so i can only go wired when he's away.

basically i go like this; dad leaves, i unplug everything upstairs in my dad's room, bring my stuff downstairs, where i live, and reinstall everything. when dad about to come back, me unplugging everything, and reinstalling everything upstairs.

its annoying but its worth it.

Bash.org quote poser. Teeheehee.

Anyways: To the OP
Okay, I agree that LAN latency may not do anything with certain connections, but why don't you use it with anyone that you CAN play LAN with? It makes the game so much smoother, more balanced, and it provides better game play.

Why do people no realize how much better LAN is compared to b.net? And if they do, then why don't they do a simple thing like downloading a program that takes 15 seconds to set up, and adding #LL to the end of their game name to accomplish it?
