ExitLag Setup Guide
ExitLag is a network optimization service that can significantly improve your connection to Dragon Crusade servers. This guide walks you through setup and configuration.
What is ExitLag?
ExitLag is a proprietary technology that optimizes data routing by mapping out various routes between your computer and the game server. It maintains stable connections by automatically routing data through optimal pathways, reducing:
- Ping/latency - Faster response times
- Packet loss - More stable connections
- Disconnections - Fewer random disconnects
- Lag spikes - Smoother gameplay
ExitLag is most beneficial for players located far from the game server or experiencing unstable internet connections. Players with already good ping may see minimal improvement.
Setup Steps
Step 1: Registration & Download
- Visit the ExitLag website
- Select a subscription plan
- Create an account and complete payment
- Download the ExitLag application
- Install and log in
Step 2: Configure for Dragon Crusade
- Open the ExitLag application
- In the search bar, type "flyff private"
- Select the game from the results
- Choose your game region matching Dragon Crusade's server location
- Click "Apply Routes" to activate optimization
Since Dragon Crusade is based on FlyFF, search for "flyff private" in ExitLag's game list. This provides the correct routing optimization.
Step 3: Launch the Game
- Launch Dragon Crusade's Neuz.exe file
- Watch for an activation notification in the lower right corner
- Log into your game account normally
Step 4: Verify Connection
- Check ExitLag's "Connected Applications" section
- Confirm Dragon Crusade appears as connected
- Monitor your in-game ping for improvement
