[quote="MAGEY"]Hey, this is probably the wrong place, but probably the most active. So i usually play 2 soma's at a time (occasionally 3 if i craft) Someone in my household plays the new Cod? (i'm not a cod fan) But has said that because i'm on Soma it's making his Cod connection unplayable due to lag? I don't want this issue to go on over lock down. i went to task manager to check the usage for Soma an it says 0.1 Mbps in the network usage and at the top for total network 0%, so does that mean of the overall network i'm on soma is using less than 1%? How can i check Cod in comparison? (its for Xbox 1) also we are both using wifi, does that matter? I just wanted some advice if it is Soma related or another issue Cheers guys [/quote]

[quote="MERLIN"]I play cod/path of exile on my laptop with at least 1-2 soma windows open and it doesn't make me lag, Can also play it on 4g which I do a lot as it uses next to 0 data[/quote]

[quote="FOXTRCK"]Get yourself a "wifi booster" for another part of your home and it'll go away. The 5ghz network that routers offer these days for wifi whilst giving a lot more throughput, suffers a lot worse with things like walls and objects in line of sight. That and for some reason,you can get a form of "congestion of data when signals become weak/cloud resulting in game disconnections/high latency (lag). Doesn't happen nearly as bad if you turn off 5ghz but let's not go there. ( Virgin Media sell that problem as a "you need a more expensive broadband for more people...." ) I can get really technical but its simplest for either of your household to get a pair of powerline adapters - e.g [url]https://www.argos.co.uk/search/wi%252Dfi-powerline/?clickOrigin=searchbar:myaccount:auto:powerline:wi%252Dfi+powerline[/url] . Then the xbox can be wired instead. Or just get yourself a "wifi booster" for another area of your house e.g [url]https://www.argos.co.uk/search/wi%252Dfi-powerline/category:50000821/[/url]. (Soma isn't the actual cause specifically) [/quote]

[quote="ROCH"]Well, we all used to play this game on 56k modems back in the day with no issue. That should tell you everything you need to know.[/quote]

[quote="MAGEY"]Cheers for the replies guys i was trying to explain how Soma was ancient an i used to play on dial up back in the day We actually have brought 1 of the boosters you linked coincidentally foxtrck so hoping that fixes the problem :) [/quote]

[quote="TYRESE"]If it was me, I would be saying tough shit, soma comes first and you can suffer! 😂 but yeah as everyone says it uses bugger all data wise. I used to run soma off my phone using two or three clients and it was fine.[/quote]

[quote="REMASTERED"]Just wire it[/quote]
