what are the connection's speed needed to play faf ?

[ttsolo]

Last week I encountered connection issues. My provider fixed the problem by slowing my connection. Since that, I can't no more play Seton, My latence is making spikes...
Today, I've 500KB/s download and 30KB/s. Is that enough ?

FAF itself only needs a minimal amount
a long time ago somebody told me FA needs around 25 - 30kbit/s upload per player means 240kbit/s for setons in theory your internet should be enough

it was easy to find by the forum search function with your title... you are a lazy boy ttsolo

with 300 kbit/s you are at the end of the connection speed that is needed to communicate with 7 other players... let windows or something else check for any update and you get ping issues ingame...

It's strange that in game with less players, against bots, etc... I don't lag. I only lag when on 8 players games, like seton.

ps : thx for the answer.

as we said, you need around 25 kByte/s up and download for a 8 players game so you got 5 kByte/s left for all other stuff running in background. And than I can imagine (I don't know it exactly) that you can have package loss during a connection to one or two of the other players and than you need to resend and resend your data every time until they got it or you received it. So this will increase the amount of traffic.

So I will wait to have my connection back at full speed before playing seton again
