What makes hamachi lag? I am currently in a server with 4 people, three of them have 200-300 ping, and one I can not ping. For some reason even on extra high latency it lags like hell. What could the reasons for this be?

Maybe it works like XBOX live and your connection actually goes through other people's computers like a mesh network. When one person in an XBOX live game lags, and if your connection happens to be dependent on theirs, you lag too. Not sure if hamachi uses this setup but it's possible.

it's because the users' internet connections cant handle the way lan handles traffic. Their bandwidth (or speed?) isnt large enough to contact all users all the time, instead of just one source (bnet)

It simulates a lan type connection, but obviously w/o lan capacity, so it runs into problems.

Someone in the old hamachi threads explained this in much more concrete terms

you're probably bridging through hamachi
like if you're hosting a game and are on 3 hamachi servers, all 3 servers can see you, but the players arent all on the same network, so if people from different networks join, it will lag horribly
also, hamachi is very laggy with alot of players because it requires a shitload more of packets to be sent/received, because it doesnt all go through the host.

hamachi always lags for me but it is because of my router i think and i am always too lazy to forward my ports

what was the site again where u can look up how to do forward for your router ?

bioboy :

Google "starcraft port forwarding" or do not play games with other people. I hate people like you, because 90% of lag on b.net in games I play is because of this.

Your a fucking dumbass. Portforwarding only affects whether you can make, rarely how much lag in games that you join. And not everyone can forward their ports, especially if they live in a environment like a college dorm.

Also its their right to play BW with whoever they like, regardless of whether they feel like screwing w/ their network settings.
