If i am using poke farmer it causes massive lag spikes in my other internet activities in games and causes my wireless device to cut out. Does not happen on my laptop Anyone else run into this or know what to check
This happens to me and it's because at timed intervals of around 5-10 sec the bot sends/recieves a wave of information to the Pokemon go servers and this cause the lag spikes. For me I can play a game at 55ms then if Pokefarmer is running in the background at timed intervals it will send information in a big push which cause the lag spike. I reccomend that you just bot at night to prevent issues like this from happening to you. I can confirm this as I have Netbalancer installed and have monitored the network activity of Pokefarmer. For others this will be not be a problem as they will have high enough numbers for their download and upload speeds that it will act like a buffer and prevent the lag spike from happening but I since I have low download and upload speeds this affects me. Although you did say that it dosen't happen on your laptop maybe it was just a coincidence that it happens on your other device? You can google Netbalancer and download it for a free trial to temporary diagnose what may be causing you to lag on your other device.
