map questions

Ahem, so I am playing again. Mostly when the server is emptying out or has a low pop. I want to do a bit of a poll here, just to collect some data. Suppose you're on the server with about 15-16 players, and nearing the end of a great map. The next map is going to start, all admins have logged off at...

Re: lag

nah just my own chats. mali's been helping me diagnose shit thru FB. one of the things he suggested was trying different DNS instead of the ones automatically used by the ISP. haven't had a chance to try it on 117 yet, but i've noticed some changes (some good, some bad) by using different DNSes on e...

Re: lag

fyi some of the symptoms i see of really bad lag - my deaths are 5-10x higher than my kills - helos can't stay in the air, they keep dropping in turns - i can't ever see who kills me - the video itself has a "sludgy" feel, that is, everything feels slower - double chat - sniper rifle won't...

Re: lag

the biggest leap in ping is when it reaches the west coast, which usually is around 55-60 ms. to texas, 90 ms is reasonable. i'm really doubting that the ping is the issue here, and it's making me wonder if it's a hardware issue. i'm not sure if i can necessarily install just windows and 42. there's...

Re: lag

Trenchie,

I like the highway analogy. It makes sense that way.

My theory is that the signal is getting bunched up on a thong-based server, and all that extra, unnecessary material is causing the lag. We need to shrink the thong to get things back on the right track.

Re: lag

Trench, I'm going to pretend I'm smart enough to decipher what you just wrote. lol. But it sounds like the paths between my IP and EA117 has a bottleneck somewhere. Is my tracert going to be identical to yours (in reverse)? That is, does the signal coming back to me return through its original path ...

Re: lag

went thru Mali's suggestions to turn off resident programs running on restart/startup.

also just now figured out how to turn off other stuff that I probably don't need or want like the Windows 10 upgrade reminder, etc.

we'll see if it makes any difference.

thanks for all the suggestions.

Re: Chispas attacking main

Here's a screenshot of him attacking main.

He might defend himself and say he was returning fire, but the only reason people were firing at him was because he was rocketing main with apache.

Re: Weapon Menu freezes

It seems to be a game glitch, like Cheezums said. I had the same glitch even when I used to play the Mac (Aspyr) version of Battlefield 1942. It happens randomly and infrequent, but when it does happen, the only thing you really can do is quit the game, and restart it. One other glitch I've been not...
