the thing that galls me is the thought that people might actually not use the Direct Connect.
THERE IS A BIG SIGN IN THE WELCOME AREA
I thought this got taken care of like I dunno 8 or 9 months ago.
for those of you who don't know what Direct Connect it, I will tell you because it is the one and only technical thing I know I can explain.
look at FRC on your favorites or history list or whatever. click that Big button by CONNECT that says DETAILS or something like that. in there there will be an IP number like 151.34.1224.12.12 or something like that.
Write that down.
then cancel all the way back to the menu where you can select JOIN LAN GAME
press that button.
press DIRECT CONNECT
enter IP number
CONNECT
yay you just connected without using Lame Spy. and guess what? you don't have to enter that damn number everytime...it remembers it! all ya gotta do is push the buttons! voila!
sooper lag reduction!

I do direct connection too and it is wonderfull to connect faster since the number is in memo - and the benefits to server are the best, less lag  |

The problem is this. The people who dont read the boards are the ones that dont use direct connect. They are just rule breakers and rebels without causes (they should all have their alignments shifter to chaotic by 25 points).
But regardless ... I use direct connect.

*slaps himself in the forehead* Sorry. I'm an idiot. I knew about that and just "never got around to it." That would probably explain A LOT about what's wrong with my end. Won't happen again and if you must pelt me with rotten fruit, just don't aim for the face. On the bright side, at least I still remembered how to emote.  *covers his face with his forearms and curls into a fetal position* |

I keep a sticky note on my monitor of the IP for the servers I go to when ever I need to change the direct connect
