Reducing Lagg

Im just posting this because i do not the best high speed internet, download speeds are just above 300kb/s but im also running Windows 10 via wifi. heres what i did to reduce lagg and so far seems to be just fine, before i had tonns of lag just fighting NPCs.

open settings>privacy>background apps

on the left hand side scroll to the bottom and turn off any apps that send and/or receive data or only ones you wish to leave on or off

Another thing turn off proxy server under settings>network/internet> proxy from left side and turning "auto detect settings off"

and also turning off LAN proxy via internet options ( Cortana is the search feature built in to windows 10 )
press & hold Windows Logo on keyboard & press S than type Internet options click connections tab and LAN at bottom turn off lan auto detect.

Turn off "update offline maps" think it only applys to windows 10 but i could be wrong
right click windows logo goto settings select apps & select offline maps from the left hand & on the right hand side turn off "automatically update maps" as this will update everyonce in awhile and most likely while your ingame

Also running windows update before opening the game will pervert windows update from just up and running most of the time while ingame/server

Another Thing is any torrent program running even if closed i found will affect download speeds for some reason or another, because i used Qtorrent to download FL and it was installed and i got lag but once uninstalled it was greatly reduced.

Also i turned on and disabled some of these router settings as i use a Wireless router ( As i have a mini laptop with no hardline port )

I turned on Internet QoS, QoS upstream which can limit your upload/stream, Which i had to limit mine to 50 kbps, but this doesnt always work and recently turned it off as it will hold bandwidth hostage.

These below are windows based settings!

Also try disabling your netbios by going to the connection settings by right click start logo > settings > network/internet > change adapter options > right click on the connection you use & click on properties > click on ipv4/tcp > click on properties again > Advanced > click on wins tab & at bottom it will say disable netbios. click okay on everything to save settings

I also turned off IpV6 the same way as not many Ip address use ip6 at the moment & freelancer is ip4 based & iv noticed a lower more stable ping in Battlefield & Freelancer

Also changing your DNS in your wireless/hardline router & in windows under network sharing might reduce lagg, as in my case i was given googles DNS of 8.8.8.8 / 8.8.4.4 which was causing problems. by going to the connection settings by right click start logo > settings > network/internet > change adapter options > right click on the connection you use & click on properties > click on ipv4/tcp > click on properties again > at the bottom you will need to change to "use these DNS settings" i used 64.6.64.6 and alternate 64.6.65.6

Also turning on ECN " Explicit Congestion Notification " in some case's helps reduce over head or build up of network problems. i found it to work with it on and seems to have reduced some lag problems. it can be turned on by opening CMD " command prompt & typing netsh int tcp set global ecncapability=enabled

also turning off windows auto tunneling, also to me seems to made my connection alot more stable. it can be turned off also by opening command prompt & typing netsh int tcp set global autotuninglevel=disabled

Also from time to time clearing DNS cache resolver can help, more so if you do it just before you start to play a game, it can be cleared by opening command prompt & typing ipconfig /flushdns
not there has to be a space after ipconfig

Maximize Performance

And if your running with limited hardware that slows the game down, you can try the below

Turn off superfetch via services by holding windows key & pressing s & type services and scroll look for superfetch double click and stop service and click drop box and select disable

This one only applys to users with Windows 10, turning off all the live tiles ( the new start menu ) will reduce minor cpu usage and should give afew extra FPS ( frame per second )

you can also give CPU Priority to a program by pressing Ctrl+Shift+Esc & right clicking on the Exe that your running than click on Priority than click highest or high. on windows 10 you will have to click details on the very far right of the tabs to get to your local exes running. added upon @"Sand_Spider" post & reminder

Hopefully this isnt just a wastefull post and helps someone out.
