Whenever I go to play a game online, I can play it okay for about 3 or 4 minutes, and then the game starts to lag EXTREMELY badly. I have tried evvvvverything to solve this, but haven't been able to figure out anything! Are there any possible solutions that people know of? 😕
There's also many times when I'll load up a server, and it will play for about 4 seconds, and then say, ERROR: Server Disconnected.

(I'm running 1.7.547 or whatever)
 
sure you havent been capped or something?

whats up with that brain teaser lol? trippy im guessing both are false?
 
You mean like there weren't too many players? Cause I know that there weren't.

& haha yeah, my sig doesn't make sense to me either.
 
My internet speeds aren't being throttled or anything (I make sure that I have no other applications running or downloading to optimize performance). I have tried it at both my house and a friends house, and I get the same exact network behavior. We both have good internet speeds (1+ mbp/s).

I have heard that sometimes this is because Snow Leopard by default looks for new networks every few minutes. Is this true? Is there any way to change that?

so you're always using wireless? have you tried using a wired connection? very odd situation i cant really think of anything else.

SL searching for new networks would not be the cause of the problem.
