the$#!Za. Posted March 17, 2004 Posted March 17, 2004 Heya fellaz..... I just wanted to throw this in the open as i cant figure it out yet and wanted to know if anyone else on the 1 network experience this issue.. OK my brother and i play MTA in same server sometimes and we live under same roof, so ofcourse our comps are thru same network.. Thing is when we both join the "same" server, our pings start to sky-rocket settling at 1000ms usually, and as soon as the other leaves, the ping drops a nice 800ms or so.... I dont get it so far does anyone else experience this or have some opinions?? Ofcourse i dont think its anything to do with how my network is set up as we both join the very same server in number of diferent games such as UT, CS and our pings both stay double digits and stable.. If no one elses experiences this and play under same situation as me, then ill obviously know its my side which will make things more confusing:( thanx all
Dgtadude Posted March 17, 2004 Posted March 17, 2004 It sounds like a "Ping Bug" what i experience my self . Theres no way your ping can be 1000 if your on the same network . I Notioced that this only happens when 2 of my computers enter the same server . The ping goes up to 1000 and gets stuck there , first time i saw this . i was freaked out . thinking something happened to the router or something . But i noticed that ingame . the characters move MUCH more perfectly than online (cause your on lan) I wish they could fix this in the next version ... But my advice to you is dont worrie about the ping . if you are in the same network and have a good router , your ping will be from 5to20 , so just forget about the ping and PLAY MTA
dystopia Posted March 17, 2004 Posted March 17, 2004 in the same situation mine does not stick at 1k, but will tend to jump up there, and a second later report back as 40-70ish ::shrug::
the$#!Za. Posted March 18, 2004 Author Posted March 18, 2004 hey... well i dont mean lan play, i mean normal mta play online and when we join same server ping fits it like i said before.... doesnt happen to my other online games when in same server. wierd.
eAi Posted March 18, 2004 Posted March 18, 2004 I think the way the ping is calculated on MTA is dodgy, as it is possible to get a 6000 ping, even with an OK connection... There are also the occasional problem with negative pings, for users with very high pings... eAi
the$#!Za. Posted March 19, 2004 Author Posted March 19, 2004 Well doesnt seem like anyone else is getting this prob?? or no one plays using 2 comps sharing same net in same MTA server?? someone shed some light plz
the$#!Za. Posted March 20, 2004 Author Posted March 20, 2004 any MTA TeaM members know anything of this problem??
-UtopiA- Posted March 20, 2004 Posted March 20, 2004 Your ping should be 0, technically, but I've lanned with 3 people and we had under 15 at all times. We also played on a public server and we all pinged normal for my ping, which is usually around 40 to 60. All three players, 40 to 60.
the$#!Za. Posted March 21, 2004 Author Posted March 21, 2004 thx for reply UtopiA.... well that pretty much says the problems on my side.... which makes it wierder ive never tried lanning on mta with my other 2 comps on network, but i just dont get it.. when we join same servers for online play on other games, it works fine. ill fool around with few things see what happens.. Utopia do u run firewalls on the comps and still play online together normaly? thx
happyrock Posted March 22, 2004 Posted March 22, 2004 Ya I''ve done that before and with 2 computers we were getting 150 pings each. normaly I get around 100. I guess it depends on what kinda connection you got.
