Netspeed

[tigerclaw1987]

Hi,

Can we remove the min 15000 netspeed which is now in force?

I played around a lot with netspeed and NN last year and found that anything over 14000 gave me movement bugs

I started getting bugs again around the time the 15k min was brought in

it's probably related

even with 100 TR you shouldn't need such high netspeeds, is there a reason why it's being forced now?

If you use any netspeed under 15000 in newnet you'll notice other players' movements to be quite laggy. This is because of the extra data that is being sent between you and the server to try to eliminate stuff like players suddenly appearing around corners, being unable to see players at a distance, and players sometimes appearing to be somewhere they're not (like if they're on the edge of a ledge).

I never had any of those issues, but that's just me

If all the problems are for the player and not his opponent then why not remove the limit and leave it down to choice

maybe flash a message on the screen when they join the server warning them of potential problems and recommend changing their netspeed

if NN is going to be for everyone surely this is a better option than forcing 15k

I second this. Ive used 10, 000 and avoided higher netspeeds also because of movement concerns. I wouldn't mind playing at 10, 000 netspeed

Real question here is: why do you get these issues with 15k netspeed while others don't? Is it related to your connection, hardware or settings? Seems like it must be something on client side.

I've tried different netspeeds from 15-25k

opengl, d3d8 and 9

different inis ect

i have a 75mb internet connection, although my route to the server may not be able to handle a higher netspeed

though i'd have thought if that was the case my ping would spike, but it remains at about 89-95 all the time

f6 packets in/out vary a lot on one of these as well as something else in f6 which i can't remember

in short, i have no idea why it happens

movement bugs IE

unable to dodge
repositioned by the server after i dodge, sometimes 10-15 times in a row, landing onto edges then falling off
skipping frames and warping when i go near to any surface - walls, ramps, players ect

like spawning side mid on command as the flag carrier is going past and you basically can't tell what's going on

most of the time it's not unplayable, just really annoying

Make sure ACE highperftoggle is on.

I get dodge bugs (unable to dodge) a lot and all I can do to fix it is jump. Highly annoying.
