Will SD Continue To Work on ET?

(Weaver24) #1

I was worrying about SD making ET final, and the abandoning it. ET is great, don’t get me wrong, but just like every other game on the face of the earth it has bugs. I fixed all of my client side problems, but now the server/gae side problems are getting out of hand.

  1. Internatinal playign is impossible, if i join a english server, my ping is higher than usual.
  2. Server crashes.
  3. Do somthing about the foliage in radar map PLEASE! We that have GF4 Mx 420s get FPS rates of 10 while in the foliage.
  4. Make it so that you cannot gib someone while he is falling down, this causes players to warp from standing to ground.
  5. Make it so you cannon specate a fallen teammate.

Thats all I can think of… not alot to fix…

Well, it was the same here, old system, Duron 1GHz, geForce 2 TI, 512M RAM and on the small path to the secondary entrance my FPS dropped dramatically, especially when I got my Binos out to scan for mines.
Than I’ve updated my graphics drivers (still had the old nVidia 40.xx, now 44.xx) and it runs smothly now!

If you havent the newest drivers installed, do it now! :smiley:

maybe allow free look when you are dead but not gibbed?

Anyway, this is a very important thread. Im hoping that splash damage keep an eye on ET. Im loving this game way too much :slight_smile:

that brings up a good point… not going as far as free look but just the ability to look around our corpse while you’re waiting for a medic

(FstFngrz) #6

From what I’ve read, they took away the free look so coverts can get away, mines ect. And if you do wait and a medic is on his way it will pan to his incoming direction “automatically”.

Correct. I think this is perfect. Your only allowed to see what you really need to see, the medic running towards you (or away, depending on if he knows what he’s doing or not)

I mean, u died, it would be kinda cheap to be able to look around. You could tell ur team where they’re planting mines and stuff.

I think it’s a bit too much to ask splash damage to fix the internet.

Hehehe, start a petition.

Oh yeah, and … buy up lots of telecommunications companies, get some big loans and upgrade the entire internet.

Heh, please let me clarify when I say my ping is higher than usual on a forgien server.

My ping is higher than it is on original wolfy, I think they will be able to play around with network code/unlag code.

there’s A LOT more stuff that the server needs to keep track of… the game is more complex… the more complicated it is the more information that needs to be sent…

so much to keep track of… how much ammo each person has… which class they are… who is disguised… are there any constructions going on? where’s the TNT hwo much time is left on it

all this comes into play in the netcode… and for the quake 3 engine i dont think you’ll get any more out of it’s netcode than what splash damage has put out
