Hey guys,

To get to the point, I run on this computer (laptop):
AMD 2.3ghz A8 APU - quad core
6750m 1gb gddr5 @ 1080p HDMI
8 gb DDR1333
750gb 5400rpm

Now, in pretty much every other game I will run with dual graphics (apu + discrete), but since I can't force this game to use crossfire (and I have tried my darndest to do so), that means I take a decent performance hit in that way. However, I still manage to do OK.

During peak times in matches, my fps varies from 15fps up to 30fps (I use a 33fps limiter). Most matches hover around 20fps during peak times with awful input lag. What is input lag? That means when I move my mouse it takes a few miliseconds before that registers in game. Or, if I press my "zoom" key, it takes about 2 seconds before I actually zoom in, in game.

In testing grounds I get 30fps almost all over the place with instant zooming, and no input lag.

Now here's the interesting bit: during off-peak hours (evening my time here in Australia), I get amazing in game performance almost always 25fps+ in matches with almost NO input lag, huzzah!

What gives?

You are not the only one having network issues, I live in the states about 2500 miles from vancouver, canada where PGI is located (asuming the servers are anywhere near there). I'm having a ton of connection problems (resulting in not making it into matches) myself during USA prime time but outside of that period I have almost no issues. I have an ongoing support ticket passing information and network statistics from my location to their server and so far other people are reporting similar problems to my specific case (very diferent from yours but possibly caused by the same thing).

You could try downloading a free program called "PingPlotter" and plunking in 70.42.29.75, the last few hops wont be visible due to ping requests not being returned by the hardware but you should get to relay-1.mwtactics.com.

I can *almost* assure you however that its an internet issue and not your computer directly.

I believe the game servers are located in Toronto Ontario.
