Hi, when i'm playing PA for example in a 4 player FFA after like 25-35 minutes of gaming players are becoming more big and thier army is very massive so i got some huge lag, not graphicaly , i mean units are not moving foward anymore, they are jumping every 1 sec and i can almost not see when they are shooting, and more the game continue worst it is, after like one hour or so it's almost unplayable. Anything to do with this ? Thanks !
If you have any downloads going (especially torrents or any bulk P2P connections) try to disable then while playing PA. Choppy animation are caused by bandwidth throttling and might be caused by both client and server side. Servers where games are hosted also have it's own bandwidth limitations. So if you have decent internet connection and not using it while in game and still have choppy animations it's mean this is server-side limitation and you can't do anything about that.
I don't sure what you mean as "host computer", but all games in PA are hosted on UberNet servers and when you create game it's still hosted for you on remote server.
Also it's not related to server performance (CPU or RAM) which you can check using Ctrl+P (click three times, there is server stats and simulation stats). It's only related on bandwidth between you and server.
Oh by host I meant the guy who press ''Create game'' I heard it was based on that for the ingame server performance Edit: I see...
The person who presses "create game" is just creating it on the Ubernet server. It is not being held on the host players server. So all players are alike in this situation.
