Is it just me or has there been an increase in hitreg delay

Stop torrenting that porn mate

Well, dunno if it’s the same case, but while i wa splayin with fragger, sometimes i did see the enemy running, and after that I’ve got the kill, like i was shooting adn then when he leave my aim it gets killed. It’s the same case @Ghosthree3 ?

While what you say happens to be true I’ve been doing that for 3 years now and have had steady connections 99% of the time.

EDIT: @[WAR]Myks yep.

No offense but you can’t be running torrents in the background then try to blame your inconsistent ping/hit reg on the game. Quit torrenting while you play, problem solved.

(Ghosthree3) #25

The problem is happening whether they’re running or not, I said they were running to point out I’ve been doing that for literally years without any issue.

Beta key?

Quake Live?

Did you mean another game, cos Quake Live’s been Free to play for a loooong time…

(Ghosthree3) #27

@CCP115 No, they’re releasing a new client soon so current QL is dead, needed beta access to actually play again. Kinda pissed I paid a yearly sub and then it died.

Yep definitely noticing it when playing with Vassili

Playing game with torrrnt running can screw up connection to game server big time. Its not a rule, but its quite a possibility.
One never knows from where hes downloading or whos(and from where)is leeching and what route those connections take.
Its possible to dl/ul on max speed and have no issues in game. And its equally possible to have like 200kb dl/ul to screw connection completely.
There is just so many variables, starting with nodes that connection passes and ending with number of active connects.
I personally blame new AC for those problems, i barely had any problem with hit regs prior to its implementation. But now i can score 3 headshots(i actually turned on hitsounds to figure out why my accuracy took such a serious dip all of the sudden) and then guy simply walks away with 50+% of his health like if he took maybe 1 hit. WTF
And thats just icing on top of other AC problems, like the fact that it doesnt like Afterburner for some reason. If i have it on with overlay, its like 90% chance that i get security violation disconnect on game end.

I also noticed massive warps/freezes appeared since a couple of weeks very occasionally, definitely not hardware related. Feels like massive AC communication flows, pretty much like punkbuster in the old days. Some friend even saw the AC crash right after.
But I don’t think the different hit reg issues are related to this. I’d probably call for the update where they tried to improve the server load. Since then there’s been lots of issues, more people have non-continuous movements, collisions definitely got messed up (Some trick jumps are a way harder to do), and the hitreg seemed to worsen as well from my point of view.

The introduction of the new AC does fit the timing tbh. And again, torrenting is not the problem, it happens whether they’re running or not and they’ve been on and off for years without any issue. It’s not like I let them run full speed, I hard throttle the upload.
