Molla4646 2 Posted May 17 Hi guys, i'm playing with some friends in some closed lobby and a lot of them says that they see me lagging all over the track and thus creating problem in the race. I don't understand why, my ping is at 40-50, max 100, so I should not have any kind of internet problems. My NAT is on moderate and i can't change it on open. Could the NAT be the problem ?

Kompjutaguy 18 Posted May 17 When playing multiplayer, Open NAT is always the best option because when playing online you should have no issue connecting to other players, as well as being able to chat and party up with players with no problem. I was having all kinds of connectivity issues and lag before setting up the NAT to Open, but after changing it the problems have gone away. So I would definitely recommend changing it once you will be able to do it. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Playing on WiFi can cause lag more than your internet. Ping depends on distance to players. You can speedtest your internet locally as much as you like, that ping figure is irrelevant unless you ping to a server near your host. You can see the visual indicators in the lobby screen. If you are green and others including the host are red, you're too far away. If you are red to the lobby, that is not great. Connection bars over the cars indicate ping over 100ms, x indicates almost 500ms (half a second). Number of bars means bandwidth is limited. If you get any kind of connection warning when playing a MP session, you'd be advised to do all you can to remedy it (including NAT, wired, etc.) 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ty guys DMZ is a bit like "you look a bit pasty, get some sunshine" "Look Ma, I visited the Sun! No sunscreen!" Port forwarding is preferable 🙂 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
