Mysterious Lag - oOo

[majik]

I log into daoc with an account and I get lag which I haven't had since I started daoc, it's insta red lag on all but fps. If I log a second account in on computer I get 3 red squares on both accounts and they go ld at the same time.

I've been using my computer to dual log for well over a year and can't conclude the cause of the lag, all I know is that for once it isn't the server.

I also experience a lot of delay in speaking and using abilities in the game.

Anyone who can tell me what the cause is?

Try downloading and running pingplotter and posting the results here if you need help to interpret it ?

What Darzil said. You can get pingplotter from here.

It's also possible that it may be to do with your network card. Check the properties of your NIC for an option called 'Hardware Checksumming' or Checksum Offload' and if it's enabled, disable it.

Well from what I've learnt in the past hour is the computer is fine when I only run one ToA client, but it goes beserk when I load 2 onto computer, but I've been dual logging toa clients for a long time and never encountered this :/
