Big Problem

by vib • 4 Nov 2011, 02:18 • Journals
There's been a major thing that discouraged me from playing ET ever since it appeared. Namely, I'm having a bad ping on servers from all locations (Ger, UK) apart from Pol (and even on those Pol servers my ping's not that good).

Now what's the matter? The side-effect of that is that I'm hearing hit sounds a half second or so behind from when I should hear them and apparently the same happens to the hit detection itself. Shooting on long range is very imprecise (the term lotto suits pretty well).


The same problem doesn't appear in any other game, e.g. Quake.

So, any suggestions?

I'm looking forward to hearing from anybody..

Solution: get net and/or stop being Polish.

Contact internet provider and tell them to sort out network problems.

They're the experts, if you mention to them the game name, ET port information etc... have you tried messing around with your modem/router? Are you using Wireless?

nah, not wireless

and to be honest, they are morons, not experts. it seems to me as if they never heard the term ping before. all they care for is download/upload

should I tell them that I have probs with 27960 ports or what?

good for ya, I was used to playing with at least ping 60 and anything over that felt shit. now I'm playing (if I'm playing) with ping >90 that feels like ping 200 (I can say that because I have known how different ping values felt even when I had a decent one).
