  Is it possible to setup a secure encrypted tunnel when using the game client.

  Wouldn't a VPN just add another 'layer' and make a bad connex more problematic ?

  Couldn't figure out if you were being sarcastic or not andy :-)

  Anyway, in my mind Fencers Question stands....

  Why after 7 years here are you contemplating using a VPN ?

  Finite skills ? new account needed ?

  It is the only thing I have yet try to get a smoother meter.   There is nothing on my end left to try.   Secondly, the computer has been optimized to the best of my limited abilities.

  As for my skills, yep, hacker at best.

  Your words NOT mine....( never intimated you're not good @ WGT )

  My Questions were... finding your skills finite and are you looking to open a new account ?

  ( 'cause let's be honest...you win nowhere near as much as you used to )

  And it took you 7 years to find this out ?

  They were valid questions...however you look at it.

  HI

  no, it's not possible :(

   

  but, let me tell you a story...  I been using a dell laptop for almost 2 years. meter is smooth as butter. I did full format/reinstall and used it for 3 rounds, meter smooth as butter. I sent it to my friend, who has some meter issues. How can it be, if just 2 days ago, meter was smooth as butter.

  The only difference is cat hair in his place and wifi connection. I get 40+mb/s with my wifi while he is around 5mb/s - i dont think that's the biggest issue either... i think it has to do with how reliable it is or how reliable service is in the area, any interference, etc.

  meter is something we're always work on improving, but I can tell you, it's not simple or even complicated, it's extremely complicated and usually affects many others area, that we can't even imagine it would or should affect.

  but, we keep trying

  Then, how is your computer configured, which might give some others a clue as to why your meter is so smooth.

  For example, what services are running.

  A log from hijackthis might prove interesting, as well as give more insight.
