Guest Posted February 22, 2004 Share Posted February 22, 2004 first of all id like to say MTA VC is cool.... now for my problem i have a DSL connection and i've got a router. With built in firewall which is disabled. I first played on MTA VC 2day and the first server i went on other people were laggin like hell and i mean everyone they were sayin to me i wasnt laggin but i couldnt even kill a person i'd try an run em over (they wouldnt die) i kept shooting them (they wouldnt die) i tryed to chainsaw someone (he/she wouldnt die).. so i decided to change to a different server and everything was happening all over again. so i changed again same happend u get my point... and the ppl were all over the place.....jus wondering if theres any setting that could help with this cause to be honest its spoiling my gameplay... do i need to open any ports on my router..... thx hope you guys/gals can help :) Link to comment
Dgtadude Posted February 22, 2004 Share Posted February 22, 2004 whats your avarage ping ? If the game is working fine you do not need to open any ports And there is a chainsaw bug , were you canot walk pressing the action botton wiht the chain saw , cause on the other player screen your just walking around with the chainsaw "turned off" so you must keep pressing the action botton . so the player will move it up and down" Link to comment
dystopia Posted February 22, 2004 Share Posted February 22, 2004 even on a good connection, people in vc can move _extremely_ fast in comparison to other games. Personally if i want to play a good clean running game, I have to reset my router so it gets a nice fresh connection, then I have to turn off and kill any dl including bittorrent, kazaa, web dls etc. It's possible that your upload stream is being absorbed by programs like kazaa.

Si|ent Posted February 22, 2004 Share Posted February 22, 2004 Useful Topics forum, it's not named that way just for fun. Read the how to kill people thread Link to comment

Dgtadude Posted February 22, 2004 Share Posted February 22, 2004 LOL . DUDE . THAT PING IS FREAKIN HIGH ! (sorry , casplock on -- too lazy to press backspace) LOL ping the smaller the better . There's your answer why you cant kill anyone . I get a ping around 50-60 and i can kill people perfectly . and they can kill me perfecly too . Link to comment
Si|ent Posted February 22, 2004 Share Posted February 22, 2004 Well i ping anything from 200 to 500 (when it spikes) and have no problem killing most people. Ive even had a 500 ping and faced someone with a 600 ping. took a lot of ammo but i killed him eventually, just compensate for the ping and learn how to shoot in the useful topics thread Link to comment
Dgtadude Posted February 22, 2004 Share Posted February 22, 2004 well . But your ping only gets high when it spikes . he sayid he gets a constant 200-250 ping Link to comment
Si|ent Posted February 22, 2004 Share Posted February 22, 2004 no, my ping is 200 to 250 or 300 or 350 and (500 when it spikes) or 500+ constant if i use a massive server, hence i dont Link to comment
Dgtadude Posted February 22, 2004 Share Posted February 22, 2004 on server close to you? Link to comment
dystopia Posted February 22, 2004 Share Posted February 22, 2004 I'm glad i fixed my ping, was running 250-400 constant, killed my belkin router, put in a cisco hub, now i get a 80 ping in british servers from dallas ,texas lmfao Link to comment
orappa Posted February 22, 2004 Share Posted February 22, 2004 Are Belkin routers not very good then? I get high pings on a LAN with certain games. Link to comment
dystopia Posted February 22, 2004 Share Posted February 22, 2004 i dunno, our old one was fine, then after 5 years it died, they replaced it with the new model, and it sucked lol. When my dads office closed, he said i could have anything i could walk out with from the server room ::he underestimated me haha:: and the hub was one of the goodies Link to comment
-UtopiA- Posted February 22, 2004 Share Posted February 22, 2004 Seems the lower the ping, the worse. I can't hit 200+ pingers, but they can sure nail the hell out of me and my 40 ping in 1 shot. Probably has something to do with clientside. Link to comment
orappa Posted February 22, 2004 Share Posted February 22, 2004 Probably has something to do with clientside. I expect that'll be fixed in 0.4 (fingers crossed). Link to comment
dystopia Posted February 22, 2004 Share Posted February 22, 2004 i'd rather the lag mta has than say, ut2k3 where you go foward...back..oh wait...no foward...back lmao.. mta, aim ahead when they run, or go broad with molotvs, grenades or shotguns. I've played on the whole scale of ping ranges, and i'd rather have 40 than 200+ Link to comment
