One slave or main getting epic ping while others are fine

[bundeswuhr]

Got my team to 15 tonight - One rfc run was a level :P
Anyways, noticed that one toon always had an epic ping, eg 6k+ while the others had the norm 500 (oceanic)
usually a relog would fix this, but not always - had 2 call it a night :P
but was wondering, does anyone else expierence this? My PC can handle running everything, but not sure what the deal is with this lagging slave buisness
Thanks

you said "my PC" as in single pc, so that threw my theory out the window. my router sometimes causes this issue with my 2 or 3 pc setup. 1 pc will lag to all get out (5000-8000 ping) while others are 150 ping or lower. restarting my cable modem & router fixes it every single time. but with just 1 pc i'm not really sure if that would be the same issue, but its worth a try.

Are you sure your computer can handle it? I'd bet anything that your computer isn't handling system resources out evenly to all the windows. Try setting down the FPS maybe or turning down the settings.

If lower settings isn't helping try:

/console maxfps 25


or whatever number you think it'd run well at.

e8500
2gb ram (now 4, but havinf some technical problems grr)
8800gt 512 mb
corsair 750W psu
500 gb seagate barracuda
all in antec 900

imo the PC can handle everything fine,
i also have maxfpsbk at 10 on all toons, slaves maxfps 40, and main 60
slavse are all on lowest gfx possible, main highest
and im sure this isnt a PC not being able to handle it issue as it involves latency problems, that change from character to character

well, one thing to note is the E processor, thats not a quadcore right?

your running 5 wow's from 1 folder? or multiple folders? do u have sound enabled on all of them or just the main. i dont know what other things could possibly cause just 1 out of 5 wow's to lag on the same pc, other than hardware not being able to handle it. or i guess it could be bandwidth i suppose..
