Not ranting, this is a problem on my side which I can't seem to figure out.

Ever since some time, my SA-MP has been starting to lag uptill the point where every server is unplayable.
This happens in servers which are hosted in the Netherlands (where I live), aswell as in servers that are hosted in America.
In both situations I'm usually the only one who experiences this ammount of lag, while I'm 100% sure that my internet speed should be enough.

My internet speed, tested in Brussel, Belgium:

An example of how bad this lag is:

As you can see, I was totally desynced from the rest of the server, almost right from the start.


Does anybody know how to fix this, or what the cause might be?

It may be your Internet connection be sure to check it out, it is not involved with the game this is purely your internet connection or something/someone may be doing it to you ?

Sir the problem is that you was downloading something, Or your internet is less then 512kbits, Or it has some problems.

No, I was not downloading anything. To be specific, the only programs using my connection was SA-MP, and it was the only device in the house at that time to use the connection aswell.
I've also included a link in my first post, I suggest that you click it...

Hai, I just wanted to let you know that I've managed to fix it.

Long Story
I formatted my HDD just over 2 months ago. As I used my backup disc, all the bloatware that came with the PC got re-installed again too. This includes the Norton Trial. (Yes, Norton sucks. But I was too lazy to change it back to Avast! again.)
So, as it was only a 30-day trial, I decided to uninstall it and install Avast! just now. I thought that my sis had maybe downloaded something with malware in it. After installing Avast!, I got called that there was a hacker in the same server as int he video. So I came online to use my usual 5 lag-free seconds to ban him. After that, I remained lag free.

Short Story
I uninstalled Norton Antivirus, installed Avast! antivirus again. Lag dissapeared, everything works fine again. Norton was the cause.

Conclusion
Norton sucks. No matter how lazy you are, if you still use it, switch to something else.


Thanks for all the replies. I appreciate it that you guys tried to help me.

LOL you didn't state that Norton was using your connection too. When you have Norton its always slowing your PC down and your connection due to it always scanning/downloading updates.

It could be your internet speed, it could be your pc. Have you tryed setting all processers? if you have a low-end pc download GameBooster.

It may be worth checking your router's config to make sure SA:MP is not being QoS'ed (putting a low priority on SA:MP's packets)
