There should be no lag because there is no ongoing client-server communication. Can you describe what exactly you experience as lag?
Perhaps its not connection lag, but rather lag/delay caused by my own hardware.
Basically everything freezes for some seconds with perhaps one or two second intervals.
In between the freezes, the mouse moves very delayed and slowly.
When clicking on dismiss after the connection failed error, it takes about 3 seconds for the game to respond.
James you don't seem to have this problem right? you also dont get a connection error?
I am playing on windows xp with an acer aspire 5715z
