1. TEXT IN CAPS ARE GENERALLY CONSIDERED SCREAMING. DON"T.
2. Have you checked our wonderful Wiki yet?
3. Don't ask for general help on broad topics. They're covered on the wiki as best as we can. Instead, ask specific questions like "I followed this guide here, but at step 5, I encountered this error there, what may be wrong?". You won't get far if you ask us to hold your hand all the way.
4. What operating system are you using? I left my mind reading machine back at home.

Fini, I understand English is not your first language and this might be difficult for you, but it is unreasonable to expect full instruction through screenshots. Also, ending every sentence with an exclamation point it just as bad as writing in all caps.

Now, you need to answers some questions. Are you planning to host this server from your home computer? Are you familiar with editing the CFG files in Armagetron? Have you also searched this forum for answers rather than yelling at us for screenshots?

Do you have any extra money to spend? If you have some money, I suggest renting a server from Luke-jr or Flynn's Arcade. They are very inexpensive. You will get an interface for you to change the settings of your game and it is very easy to use.

Try and calm down. This is not an easy task for everyone and you should be patient. :wink:

If you're already that far, what's stopping you from running the server you have installed?

Also, YOU may get less lag on a server hosted by yourself, but everyone else will get at least the lag you're usually getting.
