( Forum: Q3)

Posted by kare @ 14:28 CST, 16 February 2009 - iMsg

I've just enabled fastpath on my broadband which is great as its shaved 10ms off. But the downside is when im on skype im getting really bad packet loss/red spikes in quake 3

Broadband is be*
Fastpath = on
Router = Netgear D834G with latest DG Team custom firmware

Any ideas!?

Try getting a router with QoS.

Both Q3 packets and Skype packets are UDP, but you could change the priority on them on the router (DI-625).

That's my best solution for you =)

A sub $100 Linksys WRT54GL flashed with Xwrt White Russian is the best price/performance he can get.

Hmm. When I have skype on, I lag in Quake. When I don't have skype on, I don't lag in quake.

Now only if there was some way for me to not lag in quake... whatever shall I do...

interleaving disabled -> lower pings (this is advertised as fastpath by many ISPs)
