I’ve been in the gg server a lot lately and am starting to notice more and more lag. Many other people have noticed this as well and have brought it to my attention. I have brought it to Mercy’s attention and we are trying to get it resolved with the company the server is with. We do, however, need your help. From now on, we need anybody that is playing in the server to write down: the map, how many people are in the server, the time (EST please), and roughly how many times it happened. I know it’s kind of a pain in the ass, but in order to fix this problem to maximize your gaming experience, we need you to do this. The last thing we need you to do is to run a trace in the DOS command prompt. To do this simply bring up your cmd and type: tracert 75.102.38.107 and hit enter. After the trace is complete, highlight the trace from start to finish, copy and paste it, and email it to one of us (email will be posted at the bottom). It would be most benificial if it could be done in the middle of a big lag spike (like when it freezes for 20 seconds) to get the most accurate data. Again, I know we are asking a lot but we appreciate the help and support! Thanks guys!

A bit about my rig: I did this build in 2008 and originally started with a gtx 260 for my graphics card. Recently I upgraded my graphics to the GTX 295 which is a dual core card and has 1792Mb of dedicated memory, I see awesome frame rates! I highly suggest the GTX 200 series cards to anyone. The mother board has three pci-e 2.0 slots so it is upgradable to a tri-sli setup of video cards. Added to the mother board I choose to go with a top of the line intel dual core chip and overclock it. Originally my chip was running at 3.16Ghz but with a very simple overclock I achieved 3.825Ghz. I was able to overclock the e8500 over 4.25Ghz and have stable cpu-z shots to prove so however I felt that 3.825Ghz was a safer long term speed. To cool the cpu I used a massive heatsink by Xigmatec and I couldn’t be any happier with the results. With my overclock my chip rarely goes above 45 degrees celcius. The corsair ram I have is very heavy duty and is a breeze to overclock as well. The ram came with an optional cooling fan which I installed and can be seen in the pictures below. There isn’t much to say about the other parts. I power everything with a Corsair SLI ready 750 Watt power supply which is more than enough to power everything in the box. My drive space is standard except for the fact that I have nearly 2 Terabytes of space. My next upgrade will be a 10,000 RPM hard drive that I will install my boot partition on. Lastly for a display I use a Samsung 226BW 22 inch monitor which I absoltely love. Samsung always has brilliant colors on their monitors and mine uses a high contrast ratio and 2ms response time. My original build price for this rig was around $1200 but all parts were not added until later. Its hard to say what the final total is for the computer as I constantly upgrade and buy new toys for it. Thanks for reading about my rig, enjoy the pictures below.
