If that's the problem with mine it's a hell of a long twenty seconds. I'm always laggy, but then the internet hates me.

| Post subject: | Gmud- |
Bah. I'm having some issues with Gmud, I am afraid its my connection speed but I have played on 56k before and not had a problem. However, I downloaded it at my home tonight and attempted to start playing but the scroll time is crazy. It scrolls slowly up when I hit look and enter. or anything really. It takes 'bout 5-10 seconds to even load up the Shattered Kingdoms welcome page. Is this an internet problem with 56k or is it something else that is actualy fixable? I just dont understand how laggy it is.. and its not sk its me. Help folks please? |

That's how my connection is 90% of the time. I run off a new 56k modem and it only connects at 26.4. SK on dial-up can be hell. |

I played for months on a dialup connection of about 26.4k, and it was fine. Depends more on your ISP and modem than anything else. See if there is a seting you can set to stop the modem trying to change speeds so much, I'll bet that's what you're seeing. Modem thinks it can get a better rate, puts comms on hold to try and get it for 20 secs, and then lets traffic through again. SHould be a setting in the initialization settings to stop it doing that. |

zMUD has a scroll setting that controls how often it updates your screen based on the number of lines received from the MUD. If your PC struggles to draw windows' etc, you may want to see if your MUD client can update the screen a paragraph at a time, rather than line-by-line. At least your eyes won't strain to read the slowly crawling text. |

I would check to see if it does that in telnet. If your still having lag, then its your modem. If the lag is fixed, then its GMud. Obvious statement, but you'd be surprised how often people (including myself) forget this kind of stuff.
