our ping

[mrtrlt]

Are you friggin serious. The server lag is shocking enough without increasing the ping limit by 350!! That would cause like everyone to leave.

One of the reasons why servers such as CT have ping limits, is because if you have a latency of 1000, that is 1 second of lag. For a server based on driving that is a LOT. I'm not a qualified Internet technician but I believe you could also probably have other side effects like cars not behaving as they should.

You can do out of game things to help your latency such as have someone look at the copper wiring in your house, or get a new modem. Many things can contribute to high latency. Overall its just better to have a ping limit that is not too ridiculous, but also does not let in the bad lagers.

1000ms ping is catastrophically dangerous. It's like when I'm a cop, I ram suspects and they don't stop, why = they got high ping so to them I'm ramming where they were up to 650ms ago. When I'm a suspect, they can ram me fine, why = they got high ping, they ram the car that appears up to 650ms behind and that's actually the front of my car... = wipeout.

Increasing ping limit from 650ms to 1000ms is asking for trouble. If you have ADSL / vDSL / SDSL (w/e) or the 'internet through phone line' check for interference, remove bellwires (if you don't have pulse-tone phone) and possibly consider in better shielded wires. For interference you can check by getting a handheld AM (MW) radio and tuning it to 612kHZ and just walking around your house. Source: http://www.kitz.co.uk/adsl/rein.htm

I think there needs to be a sticky topic in Help telling people how to deal with problems like this rather than posting rediculous topics like this.

Danny suggestion good so please read this the owner and the host


please do the danny suggestion so we have a low ping


and do not do 100maxium beacuse the player will be few

Here's the connection master talking. What you said makes no sense at all. Have you read all the posts in this topic?
Lowering the ping limit on the server will NOT solve your ping problem. Your ping remains the same because YOU are the one with problems, NOT the server.

More ping = more delay => more accidentally ramming
Players won't be kicked, but there is the 80 player limit
for more than 3000 users (according to $nake)
=> there will be no change in the player count + really bad gaming experience
=> less fun

Less ping = Less delay => accidentally ramming reduced
High ping players will be kicked, but other players with less ping will take their place
=> no change in the player count + better gaming experience
=> more fun

ping should be totally reduced and only increasing while americans/aussians are online
(their timezone time) - otherwise will will sink in lag..

But what if i want to play at 3am? I cant because there would be a stupid fucking limit -_-

do u prefer to sink with others in lag or play ct in aussie/american-friendly time ?
its called sacrifice

Snake's idea is not bad at all

Just an example for americans/aussies:

00:00 - 06:00 Sleeping
08:00 - 16:00 School/Job
16:00 - 00:00 Free time : In this time the ping limit should be increased for them

[Ephraim_Renais]

But not everybody works during the day.  I for one work nights and a lowered ping might make me go to another server and never recommend this one to my friends.

The ping limit should stay the same, not increasing or decreasing dependent on the prime time of a certain part of the planet.

No offence $nake but i really dont like this idea. There is no possiblen way that it could be moulded to fit all of us. We all have different lives and things that we need to do. For example we might play for a bit on the weekend day. Go out for dinner come back and we wanna play more but there's a stupid limit. Honestly this idea would probably lose the Australian players from cvt.

Even if there was an agreement (which i guarentee there wouldnt) you would have to script in a limit for every hour pretty much. Oh hangon. Wait... That causes LAG!!

Not to mention people doing night shifts and so on...

Keep the system like it is, it's good enough, it does the job. To be honest there isn't many ways to improve a simple ping kick system...

+1 for Matt. This server is not only for aussies and americans. You talk about them, but you forgot who is in the top of the demographic list. People around the entire world come to play, and it would be wrong to not consider everyone.
