I always lag when I'm trying to race and I can barely race anymore, I even got on a US server and I lost connection, my connection is fine but the needs to be country to country connection. This aggravating and ridiculous. :hidesbehi:iagree:
It could be ISP related or wireless network (if you have one)
In NZ most connections are metered but I managed to get an unmetered acct. Over time the ISP throttled the connection and shaped the traffic of the unmetered link so gaming was not an option. After switching to metered all my lag issues went for games.
In LFS only join low pig servers. Normally the lower the ping the less computers/routers are between you and the game so less risk of ping/lag spikes etc
