My latency solved

[stoke]

So, let me get this gamemax thing cleared up, cos now I'm confused ...

Does it work like this?

ADSL Users:
- Purchase local-only bandwidth, subscribe to gamemax and play at 250-350ms lag.
- That's the 220-320 ms lag added by gamemax to get to + 20ms lag to get to the local gamemax server.

GPRS/3G/EDGE/HSDPA/IBUST/NONADSLService
- Your usual connection method.
- Check your latency to any local server first, then if it's less than 800ms, you could perhaps get some benefit from gamemax.
- It's going to be your latency to the gamemax server (Anything from 100ms - 1200ms depending on your provider and probably the time of day + 220-230 ms.

I iz correct?

Did any1 else have random disconnects with gamemax last night? Me and a guildy dissed every hour or so in 10man Naxx. The latency was excellent though.

was the first time i was trying it and my putty kept dying

my only concern is that they may be using an iffy version of debian ssh

As far as I know, the GameMax server isn't locally hosted. You'll need international bandwidth to be able to reach it.

Aaah, it's cos it uses port 433 to communicate with.
That simply bypasses the shaping problem.

How do you manage to Play the game with 36fps?? No Offence, but I got fustrated with 45fps on my old pc. I get 60fps now.

36fps is playable. What is not playable is this constant 25man instance lag on TH's jahkjhsdkfjhsdkf

I may not be a power player and I may not be a hard core raider but I have played on less than 20 fps. I know its not ideal but but general levelling and 5 man instances it is usable.

Right now I am getting 60+fps thanks to a little help from my friends in putting together a decent PC.
