Hello technical and IT geniuses of AoEzone, I require your aid.
I've been getting weird and really annoying stutter/freezing lag sometimes when I play on certain servers recently. UK and Europe servers work perfectly for me, but when I get US west/east or indian servers I have a chance of getting freeze lag which just makes it close to unplayable for me. It runs normal for 4 seconds, then it freezes for 1 sec and then it fast forwards 1 sec, or something along those lines.
It doesn't always lag though, it is just certain games. For example, we recently played vs brazil in aoelympics where we played 3 games on US east servers. First game was lagging like hell for me (no one else was lagging), but game two and three ran completely smooth. None of my fellow swedes are lagging as bad as I am when we're playing TGs (when I'm getting these lags). I would estimate I'm lagging 30% of the games on US east and 50% of the games on US west/India.
I have fiber internet and a computer that's better than needed for DE, so it shouldn't be a hardware problem.
My server pings:
Is there some obvious setting I've missed or something? Is it just DE things? Please help.
Bonus question: Is the game capped at 60 fps these days or can I make it run at 144+ fps?
