About the datarate value. I know the default is 8. Some people set ridiculous values like 120. Some lower it to 2. I was told that datarate can help with zone times and lag depending on your connection speed. I have nice, stable cable modem.
What would be a reccmmended value to help me shorten zone times, etc...? I tried experimenting a bit but I can't seem to reach a definite conclusion.
Also, EQPlayNice doesn't seem to make that much difference to me, but I keep using it religiously. All my settings are super low, I have upgraded my PC since playing Live with all models on without much trouble, including memory. Unfortunately, SOD seems to run worse.
