We've all been there, 36 hours into a squad defense session, carpal tunnel aching and piss bucket almost full, you push through to get to the mythical wave 100.

Except the game starts to lag, and then freezes, and suddenly all you see is your own face reflected in the main menu screen.

Very Infuriating! But there is a solution:

This problem occurs when a TCP packet gets lost on the way from the server to your computer. Without getting super technical, a TCP packet gets lost on it's way from the server to your computer. To fix this you need to make the path easier for the packets to travel.

This can be accomplished quite simply by removing any obstructions that they could get stuck on. Put away any open bottles of glue, turn off any fans that could be blowing them away, and (most effective) drill a medium sized hole in an outside wall for easy entry. It way help to rim the hole with aluminum foil as this acts as a packet lubricant and lets them slip right in.

You could also build your own ISP and server system too if you want.

Hope that helps! See you on the battlefield!
