has anyone gotten an 8 player game to run well?

I'm just curious, because I certainly can't get them to run on the Zone. They just crawl.... Click.. Pause............................move......lag.....move... lag... lots of swearing...'quit current game' ( . = several seconds) ugh. Obviously people with slow pings have an effect on this, but I've played several all green ping games and had the same results. Too bad people don't list their comp specs on there, that might solve a few things. Is anyone have luck with MPZ, or gamespy to get this working? Perhaps experienced AOE2 players can shed some light on this..

 

my comp is plenty fast, so don't tell me that I need to get a better computer :rolleyes:

This is because there are ALOT of people playing on 56K connections or slower out there.

 

The likelyhood that you and 7 others (who may or may not be on 56K) don't all lag is pretty slim.

 

If your playing on the zone, make sure that you get all green connections...that should help.

 

Reds will kill you on there, and yellows aren't much fun either.

 

Even if they are green for the time being, that can change maybe watch them for a while an see if they drop to red...that also happens quite a bit.

This game does lag a bit in larger battles. I was playing the TF campaign the other day, trying to wipe out the Gungan scum from their underwater prefab shelters, and the game actually crawled for a while. I admit, I had around 60 battle droids and 20 workers, but still! There was only one computer player left (killed the other one), and he was just occasionally attacking with a frigate or two.

 

I'm sorry, but this game should not lag in a single-player game at all on my Athlon 1.3 GHz machine with 256 MB DDR RAM.
