extreme lag

Post by ellios »

hey guys have been working on a mega base with a friend, we have been playing this one game for over 6 months, we are now 250 hours in and the game has become totally unplayable, its playable in single player for both of us (at a reduced framerate), yet when we play multi player i have a control input lag of up to 2 minutes!!!!!! i have to hold my mouse cursor over a box for up to a minute to actually be able to interact with it and place items inside, this has been my favourite game for a very long time now, i put so much time into it, and now it is rapidly becoming little more than an annoyance, i dont wanna give up on this amazing game, but i need help.....please.

Sounds like you are always 'catching up' to the server,
Use the command:

Code: Select all

/c game.speed = 0.75 
to deliberately slow down the game, and the lag should be a lot smaller
