Supreme Commander - Multiplayer

[w1z4rd]

The last couple of days a couple of Wargeeks and I have been playing 3 or 4 player games of Supreme Commander.

We have line speeds ranging from 384k and above. These lines handle battlefield 2 which is pretty bandwidth intensive pretty easly. However in game play of SC we notice extreme lag... all the time.

Half of us are on SAIX bw the other half are on IS, so I was wondering what could be causing the lag. Could it be shaping on each side? (as SC uses a type of P2P game play and method).

Really stumped here and I really want to play a decent unlagged game.

Probably more the fact that there's a few thousand moving objects in a game as opposed to 64 in BF2.

We played for an hour the other night, and it used about 50mb of bw. About the same as bf2?

If so u might want to check the host's firewall and your own

How do you think that may be effecting this?
