Broadband only game?


(colic) #1

I am an ISDN user and have tried playing multiple times but even on a local server with 20 players on I am very lucky to get a ping of even 200 normal is is around 270+

Has anyone actualy played on ISDN and found the game playable?

Indoors im fine though 90 ping outdoors 250+ ping no matter what is going on around :frowning:

Tried loads of different settings and nothing works :frowning:

^ what he said :frowning:

20 player ET is worse than 50 player RTCW marketgarden servers :frowning:

btw colic on 64k isdn try setting rate 7000 and cl_maxpackets 54; it doesnt get much better though :disgust: by far its the worst thing with ET.

btw for people on broadband finding it laggy, theres a known issue atm: all connections are set to ISDN default rate 5000, instead of e.g. 25000 for ASDL/Cable.

I have been using \rate 7000 \cl_maxpackets 38

Will try your option but I dont hold out much hope

Ive stopped playing now as I get bored of hitting that dam reconnect button :frowning:

Affirmative, I’m also an ISDN user and I find ET test much “traffic/lag” heavier than vanilla RtCW.

On the other hand, this is only a test release. I will wait to see what happens in the final release.

Strange thing tonight I have been playing Wolftactics on a 20 player jolt server and also on Jolt 3 OSP along with trying ET test also on Jolt.

Wolftactics server great ping never saw it go past 95 normaly around 65
Jolt 3 OSP quite often went upto 130ish but that was fine no big problems.
ET Test - Outside in the snow 200+ Inside the caves/buildings 110 ish

:???: :???: :???:

Just gonna see what happens in later versions of ET :smiley:

Alot of people have complained about lag and so on,and i know someone who runs a 22 man server on ET and he has told me there is alot of server side issues with the test.
Hopefully when final is out this will all be resolved and the server and client side will be as it should,although from my POV iam on cable and my ping is 50 and below on UK servers and i can play happily with no issues.
