The lag checking system is in dire need of being done in a non-dipshit way.

[concealed]

yeah thank god, this is really rediculous.

man this post makes no sense.

just reiterating that i want you to change these limits. please.

[abstruct]

First of all let me give props to whatever moron designed this lag check system. I remember when the server was all the way in fuckng Euroville I didn't lag out on a 56k but now I can barely stay in a game for 10s and my average ping is usually 60-100ms and 1-3% ploss.


Correct me if I am wrong but I think the majority of people that wanted the lag check were for players with the 250-300+ pings and maybe Sika but looks like he can still play so all you haters gtfo? I know %ploss can play a large factor in overall tanking of bullets and what not but I've never noticed it being THAT big of a factor.

I say get rid of the lag checking system and take whoever made it out back and beat htem until they can come up with a plausible idea.

fun fact!

sika had a hand in coding the current lag checks. fancy that, one of the most controversial players, suspected of cheating for years now, and he gets to work hand in hand with the dev guys. oh, the bittersweet irony!

yeah yeah, he couldn't code in cheats for himself to abuse without someone else along the line noticing, but you have to admit it's pretty fucked up and/or funny.

I'm not saying Sika cheats because all Fins lag. I never have a problem killing him anymore now that he's got a buffed up connection. But, I do think the current system is highly flawed atm.

I get both the med spike and slow ploss things sometimes now in twbd/twsd (but not in tourny). I don't like it because I don't think I lag too much. Perhaps it's just a couple of bad days from my provider but I don't really notice anything while playing other than that I get specced.

Plz fix

>_<;

I lag out all the time and when I check my lag it's usually 60ms 0.1 0.0, it is very annoying. Please change whatever it is.

(I never lagged out before the new MED SPIK thing, now even with msn, aim and winamp closed I lag out randomly >_<)

[Jerome Scuggs]

I just got owned in a TWSD, 3 lagouts and my lag was fine (PING Current:60 ms Average:70 ms Low:50 ms High:440 ms S2C: 0.0% C2S: 0.1%)

this seriously needs to be fixed

[Morroco]

I lagout once in awhile, and i've usually got a 90-120ms (When not doing downloads) but i'd lagout once every 2 games.. I don't really have anything to hate with the lag check system, but really. When you get spectated for having 4.4 when the limit is 4, that's messed up

[Miku19]

The funny thing is, earlier when the spike limit was 100, I got constantly specced for having 105-120ms spikes. Now that the limit is 50, I get constantly specced for having 50.10-51.80ms spikes, with no sign of 105-120ms spikes anymore. Really funny... Really funny.....

you can thank warthog for that :>

Thank christ:

MatchBot2> LAG REPORT: Too high SPIKE Med. [54.30 LIMIT: 50]
Jerome> ?lag
PING Current:60 ms Average:60 ms Low:50 ms High:80 ms S2C: 0.1% C2S: 0.0%

Am I missing something? Unless I suck at math, the max spiking I could have done was 30

[SpaceHiker]

You are exactly right, this is what I see all the time as well, and why I believe the lag checking system has been done very poorly.

I think part of the problem might be that the spike checker is confusing packetloss with a spike.

Scenario: A packet is lost. The next packet arrives fine. The spike checker specs you because it looks at the time between the last 2 packets that arrived fine. It thinks the first packet took a long time to arrive, not realizing that there was a missed packet in there. In reality, you did not spike at all.

Just a guess.

That's the problem with free games.. aways changing to worst until ppl stop playing and the game dies. <_<
