Thanks for the heads up on the latency graph.

The servers I'm on are in Australia, here is an example.

This was while I was playing on that server.

Ping statistics for 198.142.76.175:
Packets: Sent = 1135, Received = 1119, Lost = 16 (1% loss),
Approximate round trip times in milli-seconds:
Minimum = 43ms, Maximum = 402ms, Average = 49ms

The green bar in the latency graph (me) seems to be higher than the other bars.

I'm hoping someone can help me with lag problems.

I have a 512/128k ADSL connection running through a WRT54G wireless broadband router, but through the cable, not wireless. Its plugged into an Alcatel Speed Touch Home ADSL modem.

My PC is an Athlon XP 2000+, 1GB RAM, nVidia Geforce 4 Ti 4200 video card with 128MB RAM. I'm driving using a Logitech Wingman Formula Force GP wheel using logitech drivers.

I'm getting around 55 FPS in the game, and changing settings doesn't change this much.

Other people online complain that I lag a lot, and as a result are always crashing into me, ruining my race and theirs.

Before anyone tells me to stop downloading stuff, the only other app i have running usually is mIRC, and not on a particularly busy channel anyway. I even ran Ethereal to make sure some crazy spyware wasn't stealing my bandwidth without me knowing.

I have run pings on the server while i was racing and the average was 68ms, although with a couple of dropped packets.

Is there anyway to display your current server connection ping? I've enabled the network debug mode (Shift-F8), but I'm not sure what the data means and can't find any doc for it.

Feel free to get technical with any responses, I have an honours degree in Computer Science .
