Why Lag ?

[Lancelot5]

Question:
When there a 3 players called A,B and C play together. A and B come from same country and don´t have lag in 1vs1. Player C is a lagger.
Why all will have lag when A host a game with player ABC?
Is this because of synchronization so that player A and B have to wait Until they recieve Data from player C ?

Well to clear things up u mean both players in game 2 lags. so that both snails show right? Cause yes u will have to wait for synchronization but that's pretty standard for when one person lags in a game all will feel the lag but only one lags.

I've always wondered how a game designed to run on a fisher price computer manages to lag....

Yes Nemo all lag then. But thats not that normal all kind of games. For example in Counterstrike the game calculate the next move from a lagging player and so the guys without the lag arent affected that much from lagging.

1: lag is a short life problem, man, lag mean not He/She/It lags forewer, it was only take 2-3 hours most
2: and when one lag other must lag too, cuz else the none lag beat u easy, hahaha, ok maybe sync problem

3: why to have butterflies in one's stomage, lol, i remember many players lag in one game, and in a other game all was ok

lag is a most a problem of Internet , not of the PC or Player

Prost!!
