Multiplayer lag

[TheVoid]

Is anyone else having trouble playing multiplayer D3 over the net?

I mean i can join servers fine, its the lag that kills me. A little time will go by, and then the game will just stop for 45 seconds, and no one can move. everyone starts yelling about lag, eventually it lets up and we play for a few minutes, then boom, freeze again.

Either the server sucks, the connection sucks, or everyone isnt running a 6800 card, to beat the lag down.

if it is happenning to everybody, then it is the server. the lag for me is pretty bad, but its not so terrible that i can't play and kick ass. unfortunatley, this is something i've seen more and more of with recent games.

Just find a good server close to you. I usually get 20 ping in games, even with 32 players in it. Why? because i ping before i enter. lol As for 32 players on screen at once.... You really do need x800 xt or 6800 gt or higher to do this one.

Fact is, Doom3's netcode sucks at the moment. I reckon it'll get patched up though (Q2 had the same problem upon release, until a later patch drastically improved the netcode), but until then forsake the internal server browser and use Qtracker or All-Seeing-Eye to find servers with pings ideally under 80.
