 Posted: Sun Aug 28, 2005 3:28 pm Post subject: Ping Compensation Mutator |
|
|
I just got a question on what exactly the ping compensation mutator does??? I only ask this coz just lately (and i think it is only recently that u added this?? when u put the new utcomp version on right???) that I have noticed a slight lag now and again in the normal server (if thats what we should call it??). I have noticed that when u fire there is a slight delay and if i stop shooting for a little while or when i respawn it is gone.....weird???
Just a question thats all as I never noticed ANY lag until just recently....
Andy

Hi Andy, I installed the PingCompensation mutator
last year. Here's the official description:
"This mutator predicts player movement on the
clients to compensate different pings" means in
plain english: If you have difficulties hitting
a lower ping player even if his movement seems
to "stutter" PingCompensation helps you to smooth
his movement so you see him at the right position.
(that's how I understand it...) 
That lag thing is weird - maybe we should keep
an eye on it - but I don't have watched such things...
However thanks for letting me know!

Oh hehe...I thought u had only just added it..oops....hmm well it is weird...its not like normal lag where ur character movements r messed up and u glitch around the map and have big delays with your shots......it just seems that now and again the shots r just a fraction slower than they should b and if i stop shooting for a couple of seconds it seems to catch back up and the shots r back to normal...or if i die then when i respawn it is also back to normal....very odd.
But thanks for the info Bjorn...I really appreciate it......hehe learning all the time...GAMING IS SUCH A FUN METHOD OF EDUCATION

I have always noticed a slight delay on the gun, even now i have a decent ping,
but i find Bjoern's servers are the best out there, and i'm not just saying that cus i'm in X|R
if i play on Flatliners server, even though i have a ping of 30 or sumtimes less, it takes me at least 10 mins or longer to adjust to the gun lag before i even hit anything 
whats realy strange is, if i set up my own dedicated server, and play in it, i have a ping of around 20 sumthing, but i still get less lag on Bjoern's servers than i do in my own.
There was a time when i thought X MEN SERVER was the best, not any more, Bjoern's servers will do me

I just want to say that I always have a slight delay when firing. Damn ISP!! But I agree with Clive. Bjoern your servers lag less than most others and I get the same prob with lag on my LAN here too. Damn that sounds like I'm sucking up to you  I thought I would just add my views.
