so i play a good deal of MWO, week days and weekends,
quite often i seem to have high Ping and low Fps problems,

ok heres the scenario,
i usually play MWO in the lowest settings,
Object Detail and Textures set to Medium,
AA= off, DX11, Glow= off,
i usually get 100-300 Ping,
my Fps(MechLab) 28-35,
my Fps(in game) 10-15

for my Computer=
Operating System: Windows 8.1 64-bit
System Manufacturer: TOSHIBA
System Model: Satellite L875D
Processor: AMD A6-4400M APU with Radeon™ HD Graphics Duel-Core
Memory: 6144MB RAM
Available OS Memory: 5596MB RAM
DirectX Version: DirectX 11

How can i boost my Ping and/or my FPS?
i heard the problem is Multi-Cores and MWO,
so how can i Multi-Thread MWO?

Note-
i know its not my Internet Connection because,
my brother runs MWO fine at 50-60 Ping and 55-60Fps,
on his computer, single core, in the same room,

FPS is not related to internet connection.

Your brother's 55-60 FPS is due to having an actual gaming GPU with a decent quad-core CPU. You have neither. MW:O needs both.

Ping is related to internet connection.

Your brother's network card or interface is simply better than yours (brand matters), or his computer is set at a higher priority (in the router) than yours.

i see,
MWO use to run at a higher optimization in the past,
back when i started playing MWO 2012, i ran at 45-50Fps,

i have also heard that MWO doesn't Multi Thread,
as well as that its possible to Force Multi Thread,

can i get some assistance on this?
is their a way to do this?(User.cfg/System.cfg),

Keep in mind that most people saw a drop in FPS when MWO went from 8 v 8 to 12 v 12.

based on the model it looks like you are running on a laptop, are you hardwired using a network cable or playing over WiFi?

I have found a hardwired connection is far superior to a wireless connection for MWO, so if you can run over a network cable I strongly suggest you do so. running off WiFi caused me to suffer serious lag and desynchs in about half of all games, this does not happen over a wired connection.

is your brother also using a Laptop or a Desktop, does he have a wired or wireless connection, and what are your brothers PC specs, are they better than yours?

a destop will usualy be much better than a laptop for MWO

I have 2 A8 APU notebooks (A8-5550 w/4GB RAM & A8-4500 w/8GB RAM) that get in the low 20's fps @ 1280x720 and may drop down to about 15fps when things are busy, but with DX11, I don't notice so much the frame drop from when I was using DX9.

It looks like my CPU is fine and is running under 50% on both (GPU bound?). When I installed MWOmercs on my A8-5550, within a day my fps dropped to about 8-10fps. I remembered reading that the only solution to that was to reinstall MWOmercs. After reinstalling my A8-5550 was back up to the low 20's again. The root issue is one of the .pak files gets corrupted. Talk nice with your brother to see if you can copy his .pak files (or whole MWO game folder) instead of reinstalling.

WiFi is tricky. You can download a WiFi program/app (for android - WiFi Analyzer) and see how congested your environment is, or if your signal is weak. Good signal strength is better than -70dbm, with -50dbm being excellent. If you have a congested environment, you can try to move your WiFi channel to a more free one. I get ~50ms latency sitting right next to my WiFi router and I see about ~37 other APs in my neighborhood sitting in my living room. Very rarely do I see any rubber-banding or other artifacts of latency issues.

If someone is sucking up your WiFi bandwidth, or sucking up your internet bandwidth, then that will kill your latency. I found that out when I was playing my A8-4500 over wire while downloading MWO on my A8-5550 via wireless on a 5.2Mb/s internet connection. My latency was over 150ms, and play was a bit herky-jerky.

i am running it on a Laptop, Toshiba Satellite L875D,
mostly im running it on Wifi but ive done tests,
last 2 days(24hour test)
with Hard-Line
i usually get 80Min-260Max Ping,
my Fps(MechLab) 29-33,
my Fps(in game) 9-16
with Wifi Ping
i usually get 72Min-274Max Ping,
my Fps(MechLab) 27-34,
my Fps(in game) 8-15

Im near the Router so its not much of a drop off,
but i was wondering if i could Stabilize my game play,

yes my bother has a Desktop,
i dont have all his Spec's on hand,
i know he runs a Windows 7,
AMD single Core, 4G Ram,

also ive been having Horrable Hit Reg these Past fue Weeks,
would that be MWO Server side problem with HSR or is it my system?

I did notice that when my latency was high (over 100), I couldn't hit the broadside of a barn (or an atlas). So it does appear that something is going on where your internet is being overwhelmed while you are playing. This only happened to me when I was downloading MWO on another PC, and I was playing on the wired PC.
