Internet Speed Limiting...

Recommended Posts

Not sure if it's the right section, I mean this bothers me only in GTA IV so...

Anyway, so I finally found someone to play GTA IV with, and, well I don't know how but we get shit connection only when we play with each other, when we join public games (full of noobs, cheaters and hackers) we barely get any lag.

I suspect it's cause of the big differences between our internet speeds, mine is:

-Download: 80 - 120 MB/s, usually 98 MB/s

-Upload: Never went over 81 MB/s

-Ping: Usually 4

-Loc: Romania

His:

-Download: 9.98 MB/s

-Upload: 0.48 MB/s

-Ping: 23

-Loc: UK, Scotland

We also have similar PC's and identical GPU's. Both overheating lul.

The problem was most noticeable in Race / GTA Race, I would pass him at the start even if I had a Super GT / Turismo and he had a Comet (I'm not talking 1 or 2 meters distance that can normally occur, I usually built about 100 meters in 10 seconds of straight line).

Now to my question, any way I can limit my internet speed without having to take out my network card (and using the one incorporated in my muthaboard, which limits my speed to 20 MB/s) ONLY when I play GTA IV?

Thanx in advance.

Hmm well then let's put some gas on the fire. I pay 24$ (70 lei) a month, Internet + Cable. HBO, Investigation Discovery and telephone are free because I'm an old RDS customer :)

[insert evil laugh here]

I won't be laughing so much if they buy UPC and become monopoly though :(

Thanks for the help, I'ma give it a go.

Meanwhile, I pay $40 for a shitty 300k Internet connection. And also need to pay $25 for a even more shitty telephone. Oh, God, I wish I could leave this fucking country...

Look at the bright side, at least you're not from Egypt :awesome:

EDIT: That NetLimiter thing doesn't seem to work... keeps giving me errors and disconnecting from uhh... from what I have no idea. How do I even add GTA IV to it? :P
