coreytst Posted September 19, 2012 Share Posted September 19, 2012 unless you are playing someone on the other side of the world and don't want it to run horribly slow Never had a major slow down issue with it, does slow time to time but that depends on if someone else starts using the same internet connection. Have you used both to say port forwarding is better? Never got it to work properly. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never got it to work properly. I play with mates back in spain and it take about 10 seconds to load the player stat page for example. Port forwarding was much quicker Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
