Help with Latency problem

[evilsj]

Everytime I try to make a game it says my lat is too high. I tried that port thing but that didnt work. Please help.

If you have a firewall, turn it off. If you have a router, disable it and direct connect. That should solve your problems.

Um, direct connect?

if you are using DSL or cable, directly connect your computer to the cable or DSL modem.

If you want to get in a game with a friend, here's how you do it:

Host a game and have your friend join. Once he's in, cancel the game and have him create one. You'll be able to join. Don't ask how it works, it just does.

That said, if you are just joining random games, you're out of luck. Try a different area and see how that works out for you.
