IyonUK Posted July 26, 2004 Posted July 26, 2004 All I wanted to say was that I'm missing out on the joy of MTA0.4 so I'd be happy with just that fix in the next release, providing that as a result it was patched quicker. But, great job guys, looks like there's lots of new stuff to potentially be utilised in the MTAMA script.
w715 Posted July 26, 2004 Posted July 26, 2004 Can anyone tell me how many players can I play with w/o laggin too much? Up: 64kbit/s Down: 256kbit/s
Zircon Posted July 26, 2004 Posted July 26, 2004 Try playing it on a 56k connection. What lag you had in 0.3 is almost tripled... it's really ridiculous. I'll still play regularly, anyway. It's not completely unplayable but a patch to resolve the bandwidth problems would help. Good luck...
dystopia Posted July 26, 2004 Posted July 26, 2004 Often kagato (current bns member) would drop by my house to play on my dsl since he only has dialup...we cranked up .4 and only one of us could play at a time. He could play fine while it was all my client could do to stay on the server lol I believe I have 1mbit down, 512 up. (whatever it is, it needs to be faster ) I got curious, and opened bittorrent while we were both connected, mta absorbed so much of my bandwidth the program couldn't even connect to trackers lol.
Guest Posted July 26, 2004 Posted July 26, 2004 Up until now i have only had game lag but now in VC just using the client gives me a 500+ ping on the FMJ server. Try playin 15 FPS an a 500 ping!! it aint great fun. I also did a SP an MTA comparison, in SP i get 150+ fps, an in MTA i get 15, its not just internet bandwidth it seems to gobble up. not a happy bunny
Guest Posted July 27, 2004 Posted July 27, 2004 In one day i have 321mb upload becose of mta 0.4.Now i am on smallband
vass69 Posted July 27, 2004 Posted July 27, 2004 In one day i have 321mb upload becose of mta 0.4.Now i am on smallband u got bw limit?
vass69 Posted July 27, 2004 Posted July 27, 2004 yea 1.5gb upload a month holy shit, then i dont have a idea how u gonna play online
MasterEvilAce Posted July 27, 2004 Posted July 27, 2004 yeah, the MTA team really doesn't know just how much delaying this patch will affect people.. people with Bandwith limits... not good
Brophy Posted July 27, 2004 Posted July 27, 2004 they arnt delaying with it, they have sorted the bandwith problem, they want to kill some out bugs off with the patch too thats why its taking its time, i say if u cant play 0.4, go back to 0.3, nothing wrong with it and just w8 for the patch
MasterEvilAce Posted July 27, 2004 Posted July 27, 2004 Yeah, they're delaying the patch to add more to the patch I just hope it doesn't take more than a week
orappa Posted July 27, 2004 Posted July 27, 2004 Have you ever played Neocron? I tried, but I gave up halfway through it downloading about 80 patches. One big patch I wouldn't have minded, but 80 small ones? It's just stupid. So yeah, it's good that they're delaying it to fix the easy / quick to fix issues all at once.
IyonUK Posted July 28, 2004 Posted July 28, 2004 Surely a major issue like bandwidth hogging is enough to warrant a release? lol I understand, let 'em fix as much as they can. I'm counting the days 'till the next release, but since I have no idea when that'll be I'll stop counting...
notjesus Posted July 29, 2004 Posted July 29, 2004 seriously I never found much else wrong with the mod except the lag issue and crashes in spectator But I can live without specatator for now
thedvs01 Posted July 29, 2004 Posted July 29, 2004 I've had worse lag than in .3, but still very playable. Regardless, I'm glad the MTA team has identified the problem and begun to fix it. MTA Team are my heroes
Chewd Posted July 29, 2004 Posted July 29, 2004 I was wondering if making the process priority higher for MTA in windows task manager might be able to help with lag issues until a patch is issued? Any ideas or warnings about doing this? At work so can't try till later but figured I'd try to get some input on this. Thanks
Guest Posted July 29, 2004 Posted July 29, 2004 Dunno but don't set it too high. Gonna test it although pretty sure it won't work.

Thanks I have no problems doing this on my Win Me machine, but I got loads of input lag (and at one point an "out of virtual memory" error) whilst doing it on XP, presumably because of all of the services (read: "crap") that run with XP.
Guest Posted July 29, 2004 Posted July 29, 2004 Ner it does bugger all, if anything it seemd to make me timeout over an over.
orappa Posted July 29, 2004 Posted July 29, 2004 Oh, btw, that was when I tested it out in SP ages ago.
