[QUOTE="Dnovelta, post: 1084773, member: 165232"] Ok, so I like to play the online MMORPG Runescape. It's a browser-based Java game. Has very low system requirements which my late '09 MBP exceed. The problem is it lags...a lot. I have personally come to the conclusion that it's my ISP's fault and that there's nothing I can do about it, but then again I don't know all the techniques for testing the connection. The game itself lags, but other things that require the internet do not. I'm able to play CS:S without any problems. Loading pages works perfectly. But the game stutters for whatever reason. I click and then wait a few seconds and then my character takes action. The lag is intermittent...maybe for a few minutes actions will be immediate, then I'll get stutters. I'll disconnect (indicating a lack of connection to the internet) but be able to stream a YouTube video. I don't know if there is something I can do on my end or not. I've found that in the early morning I do not experience this lag, but as the day goes on it gets worse and worse. It's not yet late (midnight onwards) so I'll update later when I assume less people are using the internet to see if that's the reason. Otherwise, please leave any suggestions and possibly solutions. Thanks. [/QUOTE]
