Super Slow LAN

from Demigod Forums

I have two 3ghz WinXP machines with pretty good graphic cards.  Whenever I try and play a LAN game it starts out fine but soon lags into unplayability.  We have reduced the graphic options and resolution to the minimum and tried playing a small map like Prision.  No joy, it soon becomes unplayable.  I'm able to play Pantheon 4v4 on the Internet with full graphic options on on either machine with no significant lag.  Any thoughts out there on what could be going wrong?  Thanks for any help.

p.s.  The NICs are connecting to the switch at 100MB and there seems to be no throughput problem with a copy test.

Did you have AIs in the game?

Do you have 2 copy of the Demigod or one same on two pc's?

Sorry for the long reply, but I have the one that I bought installed on my PC also installed on the other PC.  Which I thought was legal for LAN games if that is what you were asking?

What are the actaul specs?  I suspect 1 may be single core?

 

Yes, it is perfectly legal to use 1 copy for your home lan party.

One is a AMD 64, the other is a Intel Duo Core (the host)

If the AMD64 is a single core, that would be your issue.
