Spin Out

[allah-cool]

Do you ever find that when you are driving VERY close to someone, you seem to bounce off them and lose a lot of health, while the person you banged into just carries on driving as if nothing happened?

IS this something to do with a poor internet connection?

jup its lag... either you or him

Cars will be jutty due to your (and other clients) internet speeds and location to the server. With a very low ping, it may not seem as if the car jutts at all. But with a greater ping, the jumps will be much more obvious.

Imagine: walkin and runnin.

If you want to shot person walking, where do you aim? His body don't ya?

If you want to shot person runnin, where do you aim? His body? No, you have to shot forward. It is because of ping - updating players movement.

If you have low ping, it means that you are being updated frequently.

If you have high ping, it means that you are being updated infrequently, therefore you are laggin.

in mta:sa dm you can shoot the body even with high ping I've been playing once with 1000 ping and that didn't spoil my game anyhow. I was still shooting in people's body, and they were shooting me

yeah but in games bullets kinda "teleport" into the targets body i.e. they dont travel to get there

I think every shoot client is sending to server side.v

wrong, they do not "teleport", they do the whole way from one player to another

I get spun out by EVERYONE. People with lower AND higher ping

Then maybe you're lagging?

If that were the case that wouldn't make a difference anyway, as there is still the same delay (you send data to the server, the server sends data to the clients).

Just kinda off topic, does MTADM have lag compensation or will it be like with the old engine? (you had to predict where the player is moving and shoot there so it would be synced on the victim’s pc)

[Brophy]

It has lag compensation, it was discussed in a blog post before the site change

It is the only criticism I have about MTA:Race. This happens to me too, here and there.

But I don't think it's a lag due to any client. I would say it's the result of a not mature netcode used in MTA:Race. I say this because I believe, gather from the news and blogs, it will be a lot better in MTA:DM.
