Problem description:I've never had problems before but now when my brother and I test my game just recently it has gotten really laggy for my brother but not me. Im asuming this is a network issue and not a coding issue as i experience no lag whatso ever. Is there a way my i can enhance my brothers performance lag wise. We are also in same room

There is no clear solution to your problem. If both of your computers are working fine and you're on a local network then the problem could still be in your code.

Note that procs such as MouseMove will increase network traffic. You're not likely to get noticable lag on the same computer that's hosting the game, but it may be noticable from a remote client such as your brother's PC.

I'd start looking at the profiler (accessible through DreamDaemon in the menubar "World -> Profile...") which will display both information on the overall performance of your game and the network traffic.
