Hi there i have sniper ghost warrior installed on 2 laptops and a pc and i am playing against my family members

I have the 2 laptops connected to my wireless router wirelessly and the pc wired

When playing multiplayer in lan on the laptops when you see someone it glitches and the person you are looking at is flickering but on the pc the person you are looking at is solid and you can see them clearly

I have tryed having the laptops wired to the router but this still happens and all the laptops and pc have the recommended hardware requirements

Does anyone know what the problem is ?

What make and model router?

What sort of latency do you see when pinging the wired PC from the wireless laptops?

Start > Run > cmd > ping xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx -t

*replace xxx with the ip address of the wired pc or of your router.


Should look something like this, pay attention to the time-Xms looking for spikes.

 

Also try this tool which disables some things the windows wireless zero config service does (background scanning for access points etc) which can cause spikes/freezes.   I've had good success with it in the past for gaming on wireless issues.
