My friend and I who live in the same city have had some perfect matches with no real lag, then some days the game is unplayable due to lag. Just this friday our first match was pretty laggy, but playable, then from our second match forward we had no lag at all. Throughout those matches, however, there was a time or two when the game would slow down to a slide show, then it would pick up again as if it never happened.
@Maxi I'm going to be playing at my friends house at some point today, if you're going to be online later tonight we might be able to play then. Other than that I'm good most nights this week, but I'm leaving to work at a camp this summer so this coming friday I'll be leaving for 4 to 6 weeks. hopefully we can get some matches in before then.
