Hi y'all.

I am pretty desperate at this point. I don't understand why I have so much lag.

I live in CA, I have access to fast (school) internet, and I use an MSI Apache Pro GE72 6QF. I used to play on a rickety desktop with poor internet, so it was understandable. But this?

Please tell me what I can do. I

    Not tech savvy, just wanted to say dang you savage for using school internet. My school actually had a meeting with us and told us that using their internet for our own personal use was breaking the law etc.

    On topic, I deal with lag as well. I put in an ethernet cable though that seemed to have steadied it a small bit, but otherwise idk.

    Leilicia,

    Thank you! Heh. I dorm, so I don't know how else they would expect me to play my video games.

    Sounds smart. I'll try that since I have one. Not sure if it will help much, but worth a shot. Thank you for the response.

    hnnnnng dorm net, I would have to agree with leilicia, usually the amount of people and the location of the modems/repeaters isn't the greatest lol.

    Fair, but what irks me is when I play with the Mrs, I find that regardless of where we are and what we are connected to, she runs a lot more smoothly than I on the Surface Pro.

    I paid good money for this laptop and to see it underperform has got me upset emoji.

    Thank you for the input, Leouji!
    Ive yet to try ethernet because I have been working on a paper heh.

    Huh, really? It's running smoother than yours..Is she using anything that you're not? Or do you think its just the laptop itself.

    As far as I know, there's no difference. Sometimes I have browsers open when she says she doesn't. But a browser with a couple tabs?

    I have 8 GB of RAM that's left untouched even with Mabi open.

    All I know is that it best not be just the laptop itself. LOL

    Are you using google chrome? I was told that chrome takes up a looot of RAM or GB or something I don't remember what it was, but it causes the device to run very slow. If you need tabs open, try using a different browser.

    B in search for experience-changing help.

    Just to put out there for those who struggle with me:

    -Options, remove quest info
    -Denagle (wiki under Lag page for info)
    -Ctrl N to hide names
    -Uninstall if all fails

    Good luck!!

    Is it FPS lag or internet latency? Does it run more like a slideshow or does it take awhile for your commands to go through?

    Sometimes both. I think its a mixture of my own internet being crap plus nexon's side too.
