Lordy Posted November 13, 2008 Share Posted November 13, 2008 The other guy's thread was locked for no apparant reason so thought i would put it back on as this is something that should be discussed. As an online player only on FM the answer to this question is important for me and alot of the people i play with. Exactly how much bandwidth does FM use online? I recently recieved an internet upgrade and the players in my game said they game speed had increase 10 fold. Therfor that leads me to wonder why FM runs so slowly online for just a text based game, why is it using so much bandwidth? And what can we do to improve the speed if anything?

jod123 Posted November 13, 2008 Share Posted November 13, 2008 Just to let you know all threads like this are locked because I think they are supposed to be posted in the help thread.

jod123 Posted November 13, 2008 Share Posted November 13, 2008 It is help. And you will are more likely to get a discussion going in the help thread then here as this will be locked like I said. There is no point in opening this thread again as it will just get locked again and I assume there is a possibility of you getting a warning or infraction if you persist in opening this thread. They are the rules which we all have to adhere to. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
