"Lag, or not to lag? That is the question!"

[13CentKiller]

Could be your NIC card. If its an intermittent fault then you will see results as to what your describing. Do you have another laying around? If your using the on-board LAN in your motherboard, it could be your motherboard.

Have you checked with your ISP to see if there are any faults in your area?

Have you checked your router/modem and the cables connecting to it, it could be a faulty router too.

Do you experience lag in other games such as a first person shooter or another RPG?

In my experience on how the server handles Freelancer depends on how its feeling on the day. It can handle it very well, there was a time where it never crashed for days. And other times when it crashed lagged and decided not to boot up again after auto-maintanance.

Also, when you lag, ask others in TeamSpeak, MSN, Skype or in-game if they are lagging out too. Might help you determine whether it is a server side or client side problem.

Hope this helps.:cool:
