Lag
From BZFlagWiki
Lag is a horrible, awful thing that plagues BZFlag players around the world.
Contents
Fixing Lag
How to fix lag depends on what is causing it.
Slow Internet Connection
Lag can be caused by a slow internet connection, such as dial-up. In that case, find a server that is more allowing, or get a better connection.
Satellite Internet
Satellite internet is far too laggy for BZFlag. Sorry.
Automatic Updates
Make sure Windows is not running its automatic update in the background.
Downloads
Don't download something and play BZFlag at the same time.
Internet-intensive programs
Other programs, such as other people playing an online game on your network, can cause lag.
