Hm.
And here I thought I was the only poor sod stuck with dial-up.
The only thing I've found that helps when playing on dial-up is to open the task manager and end all unnecessary programs.
It still gets laggy when you play with more than 2 or 3 people, but it's less laggy than when you're also running other programs.
And, just to put an opinion forward, Xfire needs to slow down on the updates.
I can't even log into it.
It's 2MB update after another.
Or is that just because I went a few months without logging in?
Either way, it only intensifies my hatred of automatic updates.
Updates need a pause button, seriously.
Especially Windows updates.
I will cry for you tonight. Because it's been so long since I had dial-up I can't even imagine the pain it would take for a 2mb file LOL.
really though that does suck. I admire you guys that still make it on the forums every day, if I had load times like you I'd never be on B.net.
