Whats Your latency like?

[DSS187]

When asked what server to join whats Auraxis' ping? Just tryin to see what everyone else has...mine was around 150...good for PS or ...badddd? lol

[Talyen]

like 150-250, which seems like alot, considering I have cable...

but, I havent noticed ANY lag-lag yet! Slight frame-rate-loading-loss-things when you enter an area with a billion people, but no real lag. ^_^ very happy with planetside

[Seabass03]

slim to none

[DSS187]

thats odd...over on the beta forums evry1 is like lag lag lag but over here evry1 sais theres none. For me so far yes there has been some pretty bad lag....and its not my connection cuz I get 50- ms lat. w/0%PL all the time. I know the # may not be relevant in this situation but Im just confused now ..lol . Hmm oh well Ill see today after I get home from Cisco. THx for yalls replies tho.

[Seabass03]

Yeah, I have found it really confusing as well. The lag is almost non-existent for me and I have had a great experience so far. I see a lot of people saying lag lag lag but who knows.

People bitching about lag are :

1- Just whinners, they don't really lag but just want to bitch about something.

2- Always on Cyssor and wondering why the fuck do they keep lagging meanwhile trying to frag the 1000(out of 2000) peeps on said continent.

3- Using a 14k modem.

4- Mistaking "hardware lag" for "net lag."

[Seabass03]

#4 is so true. I added about 4 extra graphic features and I started getting hardware lag myself.

I'll have a very good system to play planetside on ie 9700 pro, 768 mb ram, 1.8 gig athlon, but my connection sucks. I have 256 dsl upload and download. But i have horrible upload drops. Every 20-30 seconds my ping goes from 120 to anywhere from 300-1000 for 5-10 seconds. It's caused by my upload going down from 220k to anywhere from 70k to 110k. I think it's caused by my router, anyone know how to switch from a router to a hub? My friend did it, and it's pretty difficult, and he has a diff router then i have so his setup was completely different.

[Sputty]

Yeah, they probably think it's net lag on their 800 MHz Celerons with their TNT2 cards.

[Arthell]

For me its usually 150-200, which i consider pretty good since im on the west coast of Canada.

I have seen very little actual lag. My comp can play with Medium graphics well, but i play at Low since i get some pretty big loading freezes when doing things like exiting bases, etc. I have, however, had a bad lag experience. It was on Oshur, so the continent wasnt loaded, but people started warping around. I was killed a few times in a row by invisible people. (stealth suits with mini-guns! :scared: )

But considering this is the most people that have been on the server it doesnt mean much.

[Dharkbayne]

All lag will end in Octember, when BAAZOR GOD OF WOOL awakens from Zingolotopia and sets up a relay channel of monkey-dolphins in the stratosphere!

[Dharkbayne]

Muahahahahahahahahahahsahahahahaahahahahahahahahah ahahhhahahahahflalalalalalalalalalalahhahahahahaha hahahahahahahahahah FAIRY GODPARENTS!

Dhark really deserves that spammy guy in his sig and his title, this is the 2nd double post i've seen today.


Keep spamming bayne boy, don't give up! You'll be l33t soon!

[Navaron]

You know, I didn't even check, I was running smooth as butter with the default sections. Sweet.

[Venoxile]

I've always assumed bohica was an outfit, but im just noticing that everyone in bohica seems to be in different factions then eachother. Dio's vanu, and he's bohica, and yet i've seen a guy in bohica insult the vanu like 6 times in 1 post.

[�io]

BOHICA = all 3 empires


And just to show how there's no lag in PS. We all get about 100 or so ping here (including me in Quebec) and the current server in in San Diego. :lol:

Why thank you, I try, :)

[Hellsfire123]

Most of the time it feels like im playing single player. Ive only ever seen one enemy lag jump around the screen (killed him anyway). The only time it ever lags is the tower battles with 50 NC in the basment and 60 vanu outside. Oh i love those, impossible to fire your gun without getting a kill and a dozen griefpoints :D

[DarkDragon00]

whats lag???

[Happy lil Elf]

Nerf Dharkbayne's sig, horizontal scrolling makes baby jesus cry :sick:

[Saethan]

Horizontal scrolling? What're you running in, 640x480? :huh:

Sigbot will pwnz it soon no worries. :twisted:

[The Prudential]

Yeah, I'd have to say the only problem I've had is in the insane tower battles. However, since they relocated the control conole that problem of trembling madness should be fixed. In a few months we'll remember the terrifying pre-console relocation tower battles of Beta. We'll tell the post-release players about the brutality and the griefing that went out. It'll be great!!!

[Airlift]

There is some variety of lag or packet loss in the game from time to time, which can be seen as the inability to reload, open doors, or mount/dismount vehicles. There is also occasional chat lag.

I have a cable connection and I very rarely encounter lag, but when I do it hits like a tank, usually for 15 seconds or so. Framerate stays high during these times, and I can fire my weapon. At the end of the lag spike it will either recover or exit me from the world.

All in all, the servers are much smoother than most UT2k3 servers with similar pings (100-150).
