    What type of connection do you have?
    I've heard even 128k isdn lags badly with it, so its basicly the netcode tbh.

    done a bit more research into it.
    Apparently its caused by the fact that even in game game spy will continue to ping the servers. Just think of all those players constantly pinging the servers.

    Yer i tried it over 128 with the gamespy disabled and didnt help.
    Especially when some one said it was sweet over LAN.
    Hope they fix that in the mentioned patch.

    I lag out after joining most servers (i last for about 15secs :/ )but on my 220th or so server i finally found a decent one! its great when you can play with a sub 500 ping (thats good for this game........) on 64k ISDN, but it totally rips my GeForce3 to shreds for some reason,i get about 10 FPS when i see a tank up close, and when theres major action goin on my FPS drops to about 3, and thats with min graphics :confused:
    Plays great on LAN tho, and the map looks real pwetty on max graphics :)

    This game definately has major potential if it fix's FPS and lag problems.
