We recommend at least a 6Mbps bandwidth to play Rogue Assault with minimal connectivity issues. To check this performance, we recommend using an independent speed test (not run by your service provider). One that we recommend is Testmy.net. Here are instructions for accessing it:
- Head to http://testmy.net/
- Click the black button that says: "Test My Internet +" and then the 'Combined' option.
- Allow the test to fully complete.
In addition to these internet speed requirements, the game requires your device to be able to communicate efficiently with our servers. Many game activities are resolved on our servers, so if your connection experiences interruptions, this can seriously affect game performance.
You can check for problems in this department by performing a test called a traceroute. This is the route your signal takes to reach our servers and return to you. When these server-to-server "hops" have ping times over 100ms, players start experiencing performance issues; above 150ms, players can expect significant lag and disconnections. Dropped data in the test results (indicated in the test window by * or **) will also affect performance.
In order to run a trace route search your App Store for, "traceroute," and select an app of your choice. Please use the following addresses as your destination website in place of "example"; depending on which app you choose it may or may not require the http:// to be included

OR
If you notice high ping times in your traceroute results that are affecting the game's performance on your device, we recommend you reach out to your ISP to share these results with them.
