i hope im not the only one seeing this and i hope others will stand up and back me up.
it seems that
#1
Pings arent calculated properly. or something of that nature
seems like people have overly high pings
#2
any game i have been in or Served. Pings over 125 really start to hit the server. causing lag.
this isnt always the case but it seems as though it is an issue.
again maybe some reconfiguring of the network code.
DirectX 9 has some netowrking optimisations that have taken certain games network code and made it do a total 180. meaning network code was shabby, then the dev team found the network optimisations in the DX9 code and changed it and a patch was released which made cross-atlantic games just lag free.
now if this is just me god someone tell me and ill look at my network layout.
#3
and this i think is the most important.
what ijn the world are the server controls. i have looka dn also started another thread for this but just wanted to highlight my concern
server controls are vital to any game server.
especially with my concern about players joining who have high pings and wont leave the game, and i cant kick them cuz i dont know the commands.
also, since most people use funky characters in their names or long names, it would be alot easier to have a ID Tage kick command
so instead of
kick johnjoebobsmithblack it would be
kick id3 ID 3 would be the number beside his name in the player list.
ping limitations settings in the server is another feature i have no idea how to set and i maybe wrong but i dont think there is any, again this is an absolute must. as i have said people think its funny or something to join a server and have terrible pings and hurt the server performance. a ping limit would cure this.
i have more but at this time im tired and cant think of them lol.
those questions/comcerned are overshadowed by the shear oldschool feel of this game.
im reminded so much of quake and quake2 i love it,, from the guns to the level design to the gameplay everything just feels oldschool and i love it.
