@SgtRocky1369 If you're playing Garden Ops like the other posters in this thread, you're not connecting to a server at all - just another player and using them as the host. If they're connection is less than great, you will experience latency and connection issues - that's why its better to host your own games.
Garden Ops is heavily dependent on the host's processing power and, more importantly, internet connection. If the latter is prone to latency, you'll get lagged and rubberbanded to hell, randomly booted, or - if you're lucky - told you can't connect to the game to begin with.
If you're confident in your PC and your internet connection, hosting a Garden Ops match is a better bet than joining one; the drawback is that it may take a little before you see others join.
