ET's current state?

Well, I came back about 2months ago and started again my old clan Finland TTDet and all was supposed to be good,but nevetheless all is going bad at the moment. I would like to introduce our game biggest problem, which is also known as PUNKBUSTER and here are couple funny points.


One year ago, when I was playing actively there weren't any problems with punkbusted, but now everything goes on its way. It kicks you either pb heartbeats stopped or some other weird reason( et.exe len=2048 / game integrity etc) which takes a lot of time to come back to server/making vid_restarts etc, to be honest waiting takes more time than the playing itself. Other ridiculous thing is this pb screenshot lag, before I was wondering that whether it causes lag, since I hadn't had any lag on my game, but now the game freezes for 5-10sec everytime our beloved punkbusted takes screenshot from my astonishingly beatiful low-fps-cfg. It takes normally about 5-10sec to recover it, so whilst I can again do something I am either dead or in long spawn.

There are still lot of room for my complaints or qualified compliments. I think the most new CB's cfg have failed due to the fact they didn't make opponent more hittable, in fact they are now more unhittable than ever and the best part is that I think that they might cause some lag.

The last, but not least for me is that why opponents can't keep tag while they play, since usually clans search only "clans only" or something like that. I find it stupid, since is it so humiliating to keep tag whilst playing this funny game. I consider team as mixed if they don't use tag. Well it ain't big problem at the moment, because the biggest thing is that we have to stay at the server whilst PB keeps kicking us. I have came to conclusion that the heart beat stopped lag is depending on server and which clanwar cfg's you are using, best setting are some german server and ESL 6o6 configs.

Only positive thing is that there are less ingame whine than before, even if I am doing my best to make some "funny" comments.

Do you agree with me or you think quite opposite ? Share your opinions about our lovely ET.
Since this is an angst journal I will provide sumptuous pic for you and if you think this is too long to read.

TTD didnt use tag when we played them @ 3on3 with KRP. Humiliating :>/
if you read carefully, you will find sentence which includes words "clans only" and you didn't seek war on that way.

THEY WERE USING FAKENICKS ALSO.

I love your way to think

i have a good pc-> dont know this probs
for me theres a growing amount of whine on crossfire :<
CB configs had no effect on the maxpacket settings, it all depends on the fps.
was only my personal opinion. We played war yesterday and there was CB's 6o6 config and we got kicked for heartbeat stopped, then we chanced to ESL 6o6 cfg and none of us got kicked, dunno why but It made me think that config's got something wrong. Yet I blame mostly servers.
Parent
conclusion = join esl and forget cb (i hate that new config too,i had no problems years ago but now i get huge fps lags,like i would play with rivatnt2).
Parent
True, CB's system has failed even if their admins are usually pretty reliable. Only problem is that how to get players involved more with ESL, since most of us complains about their pretty complicated site and which also refresh slowly. However I would like to play in both leagues.
Parent
ALIVE MOAR THAN EVER
indeed!

(about the tag i always kick if they don't tag up :X)
Idd, the bad servers before became even shittier, and the old good servers is now only ok servers, prolly pb.
Nude pics @ gaming community with little kids :s

I agree. Just capping maxpackets at 100 won't help the CB config. There should be some kind of genius lua module for it.
strange i never had any problems with PB, how coincidental
I hear you
Pb lagged already a year ago, but maybe not as badly as now. Personally I haven't noticed any lag differences between the configs. The GV streaming is/was a flop with huge lag adds. Ingame whine is reduced idd, I don't know why though :o. And one more note, I think atm there are a lot less haxers around, so the current state isn't that bad after all.

About the tag, I think in 6on6 it would be cool, or maybe not the tag but right nicks. In 3on3 I don't keep it that important, usually like to fake there myself as well.
I disagree with those haxers thing, I have played some 3o3 and feels like there is always some hacker.

I should have mentioned that I ment 6o6 and tags, It is same to me to whether you keep tags at 3o3 or not.
Parent
There was a time when u couldn't play 3 pracs without facing haxers... now I can play almost a week for the same time.

And btw, which is better in your opinion, opponent having tag with a fake nic or having real nick without tag? :)
Parent
true :> , now days community is more intolerant towards cheaters.

Having tag with fake nick, tag would prove that they are clan :>
Parent
hmh, there we disagree then, I don't care that much if they unite some fake tag for every one, but I'd rather know who I'm playing against :)

Anyway, I guess we both would like them most preferably have both tags and real nicks
Parent
What's the problem with teams not tagging up? Does a tag make the team better? No. So what's the point of it except in matches? People will tag up if they want to. If you don't think playing a certain team is good for your team, then get another scrim/war w/e you call it.
I think it is extremely childlish behavior if you don't make tag whilst you search match " clans only" . It also motivates more to play if they wear tag, otherwise I think they are mixed and the intense of game is already killed.
Parent
Mixes play differently to clans...
Parent
In the past, maybe.
