iDev advantage over PC?
On my PC, I get anywhere between 90-120... sometimes it spikes up to 220 ms... And it's wired... While on my ipad air 2 I get between 60-80 ms... Both speeds were tested during 2,200+ players online How does that make any sense? Optimization? How does a wi-fi connected device get lower ms than a wired PC? Maybe the cable? Doubt it tho. I want to hit lower ms on my computer, is there something I am missing? This is my first built pc, but on my laptop it was the same latency. ALSO, I get into any websites way faster on my computer than on the tablet, so maybe it is app optimization? |

Its probably because your iPad has a better signal to your router. Maybe you were closer to the router when you ping tested. Also another factor might be that your Wifi card might be outdated, normally Apple devices have a newer WLAN hardware

No, I tested it farther than my PC to Router Distance. It's an ipad air 2. It's not slow, just wired pc is faster. On graal though, my PC gets higher ms all the time compared to ipad air 2. |

YET, on ipad air 2, graal runs way faster with higher resolutions, and gets lower ms. Makes no sense, how PC slows down when I go full screen and high res, and gets higher ms. It has to be due to optimization, but I'm not too sure. |

Believe me, I know your wired connection is faster because it would take such an obnoxiously long cable to make it even close to as slow as typical wifi that I'd be laughing at you if you managed to screw that up. |

Heck, if I had a keyboard that worked for graal, I would just use that. |

Yeah, I never understood that. A good portion of the time I will see idev's claiming to have insanely low ping. Never made sense to me since wifi is inherently less stable/slower. I've got a cat 6 connected local network which means 1.0gbps throughout my network, and road runner ultimate which is 50 mbps, but my ping almost never dips below 60-70ms. I see people on phones claiming to have much lower than that, so what's with that? I just tested this on my own network with my phone, and it showed the phone at 50-60ms, with my computer at 70ms....strange. The signal wasnt even optimal on my wireless either. |

I'm no tech genius, but its safe to assume an ios app is going to run faster (wifi/ping wise) than some fb game or some shifty website (skyrider.)

I'm sure it's just a consequence of Flash being disgustingly bad as a platform, would have been cool to see Graal in HTML5 The game was optimized for iOS, the ports to Facebook and Android seem rushed and incomplete in many ways |

Couldn't Graal run much better and process more tasks, such as the menu's slowness (menu>friends>pm = slow game in full screen) and resolution fixes (Without random jaggies, mostly a chrome issue) as well as be able to hold more files? Why can't I download iClassic? Instead of a browser. At least on PC Client? |
