Graalians - View Single Post - Guide: Improving your connection to Graal(less lag)

Skill · 07-07-2012

If you're experiencing latency while playing Graal, this guide may help. It shouldn't really help with improving your fps(causes you to move slower when low fps) except maybe a little bit by loading graphics faster, but it should help with your ping.

I don't recommend doing this if you have a limited data plan as it dedicates a lot of your bandwidth to Graal.

What you need:
Windows computer on same network as the device you're playing on(may be the computer you're playing on). This will not help you're using 3g or if the computer is on a different network.

open the start menu, go to accessories, and open the command prompt.

type in C://Users/YourUserHere>Ping -t -l 65500 74.86.179.137

change youruserhere to the name of your user.

What this does is ensure a constant connection with Graal. Your network often tries to use as little data as possible, but this ensures you're using at least 64kb/s of data.

if you get a request timed out error try lowering the number after l(65500) to a lower number until you stop getting it.

Just leave the command prompt open while playing and it should work!

explanation:
the 74.86.179.137 is the iClassic's server ip address, used to connect to the server. the -t makes the connection continuous. the -l and number determines the set speed of the connection(maxes at 65500)

When I started doing this my latency has gone down to 50 ms from about 200-250 ms but I imagine the differences will vary.(lower is better)
