I don't want to burden DE support (they are in heavy load) so I'm asking help from players - I know there are computer geneiouses among us =^.^= The game is P2P game where players host instances. Roughly said sometimes I end up to games that lags a lot and this happens occasionally. So is there something I can do with my computer setup to minimize the lag from my end? And I'm dead serious with the question :|
Regarding DE maciejs - who has done awesome job minimizing the packet sizes - warframe now needs less bandwidth and is more compatible with connections that do not have the required bandwidth. It has fixed a-lot of issues. Here is insight of the "network compression and congestion control"
There are some benefits when the connection lags - you end up being in a "god mode" which is sometimes a really good thing on challenging missions :D But on the other side of the coin - there are some issues too -- specially when reviving people. To get a glimpse what I'm experiencing at my end here is a video where you see the lag with the partial god-mode I'm talking about:
And to repeat: this is not constant but occasional.
But first things first. I believe I run with a mediocre gaming rig so here is detailed info about the system specs including network settings and bandwidth speeds. Warning: in spoilers a-lot of data.
Microsoft Windows 10 (10.0) Enterprise Edition 64-bit
// Telemetry disabled via registry and gpedit and hosts. Not in insider program so no TH2 updates in.
DirectX Version 12.0
Intel Core i5 4690K Stock Frequency 3.50GHz / Core Speed 3890.7 MHz / OC Unlocked Processor by Intel
// No manual OC. // Bios = Default regarding CPU and RAM
Number of cores 4 (max 8)
Number of threads 4 (max 16)
CPUID 6.C.3
Extended CPUID 6.3C
Core Stepping C0
Temperature 0 45°C (113°F) [0x37] (Core #0)
Temperature 1 47°C (116°F) [0x35] (Package)
Memory SPD Crucial Ballistix Sport 16 GB KIT // 1600 mhz
Notice here that I have "Hidas" rule. That is translated as "Slow". I have Netgem 7700 digibox that has a fault on it's firmware and it's using incredible amount of bandwidth in sleep mode. So I limited the bandwidth to 500 kbps (see picture above) with low QoS priority and weight. And I haven't been using the netgem at all - it's gathering dust in my cellar and it's not connected to the router cause so far there has been no Firmware updates by the manufacturer.
Virtual network devices such as hamachi, vmware and other 3rd party firewall and network analyzer components such as netlimiter are all uninstalled. Only physical Devices available:
The structure of my network demands me to use IPv4. I have VDSL2 router that supports IPv4 and IPv6 and the IPv6 is disabled. The Connection goes with a copper line to the switch down stairs of our apartment building. From there it goes with fiber to the ISP routers and switches and the IPv4 connection is routed back and fourth through ISP's DNS switchboard (DNS switchboard supports DNS6 + IP4). Maybe in the future when all services around the world switch to use IPv6 my ISP will change the settings of their switch board to support directly client side IPv6 connections.
From in-game I have all settings maxed including DX11 and 64bit mode and physx. FPS is limited to 120 and I've set PC type as Desktop Computer. Weapon trails is set off and I swap between bloom on/off. I'm running @1080p and my monitor "Asus 24" VE247H Full HD LED". From nVidia settings I have set them to default values (application controlled) excluding the "power management mode" which is now in "performance" mode. From the router I have UPnP enabled but in game the setting is disabled due the manual port forwarding.
I was thinking to make some new rules for QoS packet management that it would put the udp data from ports 4959 and 4950 to the fast Queue. But to do this I need to lower the QoS queue by one step with my gaming rig -- that the rules wouldn't conflict each other and that Warframe ports would get the maximum priority over the other rules.
So to return the question: Do I use wrong settings and can I do something to my computer/router to compensate the lag? Or should I just continue with this and keep fingers crossed when I click "accept mission".
