Until now  I had always played WOT using wireless, but today I stopped using wireless and connected the lan line to my computer. This has resulted in my  FPS jumping from 12-20 using wireless to an FPS ranging from the mid to high 20s with even an FPS of 30 now being reached.

Ah it is the simple things in life that make the world go round, the simple things.

Will this improve my game play? LOL, hell know!

Cheers mate. Eventually I will get a new desktop. I only have a laptop at the moment. My goal is an FPS of 40.

PM me if you want suggestions or a build suggested, Until then i hope you enjoy your increased fps and your smoother gameplay we can jump on tanks later if you want and what the heck someone neg rep you probably that person has 1 fps IMO ;p.

So you were using wireless before because im also using wireless i might try and purchase a long Ethernet cable and plug directly into the hub downstairs might be worth the try if it improves latency and fps issues in world of tanks.

I'm trying to figure out how in the hell an internet connection could possibly affect your FPS... I mean that is two different things o_o

In world of tanks its highly possible bad internet connection can cause slow downs not just in MS but in FPS to.

World of Tanks relies on 100% online dedication from your provider if you have a poor internet or a slow pc your fps and your bad connection can drag both of them down causing a mesh of MS and FPS called MSFPS Lag.

Since he connected VIA cable his connection may have smoothed his gameplay but also made his FPS slightly more bearable.

I have no idea. I am probably all shades of wrong. I have no idea about computers, so I am likely talking out a hole in my head. Seems as though I thought wrong. But why has my FPS increased when I added the lan line? I know I am accessing the internet from the USA. Does that make a difference?

FPS is only handled by hardware such as CPU and GPU etc and has nothing to do with the internet connection. Lag will not decrease your FPS (it will slow down the game in a way indeed, but the FPS should not change)

Nonetheless knowing WG anything is possible so... who knows. Maybe someone more competent figures this out.


And I'm currently on wireless too, I might test tommorow with my ethernet cable if I feel like it

You have reached your quota of positive votes for the day

The FPS has increased because the game has been designed to work according to what you receive from the server - depending on the number of "confirmed events" (in the attempt to have the same simulation for everyone and to stop cheating), your PC will only show you what it manages to receive from the servers.

Usually, as people above stated, FPS is mostly influenced by the hardware (and software which may slow things down, but we have SSDs for that...), but when what you see is dependent on what you receive, your internet connection will have a word to say too

TLDR : it's the game's programmers' "fault"

P.S. Theoretically, what you experience as a boost in Fps online should be the same (or lower) than what fps you have Always had during a replay - meaning that you should test your single-player experience, not multiplayer... - that's what's relevant, you know...

of course it is who else can you blame besides the dudes that designed it this way just to save them the hassle of dealing with cheaters or  paying anticheat license fees

instead we get fps based on the fairly instable wargaming server performance.

the weakest link between the players and the EU server is a node just outside of the Server Cluster that is hopelessly overloaded as soon as 50k players play at primetime resulting in increased latency for some players depending on the isp.

wargaming could go another mile and spend some of their millions to simply buy a better connection or even better pay for another node with more bandwidth

Sorry to disagree with you but on my machine, i get FPS of 5-8 in all battles and when my ping decreases, i get higher FPS (7-8), when it increases, FPS drops (1-4). So there must be a link!

damn you
my fps is still 2-11

Internet connections and FPS, totally unrelated.
Even in WoT.
Period.


/thread

P.S.
What could be the case though (still no relation between Internet connection and FPS) is that you have a very crappy anti virus, that uses 80%-90% of your CPU when checking out the safety of your connection, every time your wireless makes a new connection.

P.P.S. Be glad you have better performance though (for whatever reason).

Turn of your anti virus = better FPS. Specially with crappy free anti virus programs

wow someone is playing with single didgit fps?  reminds me of the stoneage of gaming ... naaaah even pong had more than 5 fps ;)

how can you even aim with less than 20 fps? o0  must feel like playing turn based strategy not  realtime shooter ^^

Thanks for this. This is good news. So when I do eventually get my new computer with a good graphics card I should be able to get an fps of 40. Woo Hoo.

Dude that is horrible.   I feel for ya, I really do.

I guess that it's all just a matter of what you've gotten used to. Some people are having fun on single digit FPS, others would rather cut themselves or leave the game (like me). It's impossible for me to play on FPS lower than 30.

And whatever theories there've been provided, unless someone really proves it I have to agree with Costarring. Higher ping should increase latency between client and the server, not slow down the client's perfomance.
