Small lag. (fix?)

Post by BinarySpike »

I have a 128k (100Mb) connection.

ATi Rage 123 video card.

350Mhz, G3 iMac.
(128MB RAM)


And I have everything off.

I still have a small amount of lag. (208 20ms, 6% loss/ooo)


This is just enough to kick me on gu.de.

I turned bitmap fonts on last night and that worked niiiice...

So, I was wondering if there was anything else I could turn on/off that you can't see in the game or config?
(like bitmap fonts.)

I'm going to get 256k (200Mb) soon. but I might have a league match before then.

The listing of 100Mb is just your LAN speed, not your Internet connection speed, so that doesn't really matter here.

Otherwise, it shouldn't be too much of a big deal. Most consumer DSL lines are 768Kbps, and the best analog modem line is 53.3Kbps. Yours is just a little better than double an analog line.

There is no such thing as "200Mb". 10/100/1000Mb is the max bandwidth of a LAN (from your network interface to another connection). And traditional CAT-5/6 cables don't get the full amount any ways. ... but this has no bearing on your Internet connection speed/bandwidth.

Edit: sorry, had to edit many times, thought you were talking about hosting a server. I fixed my reply.

Sorry, typo.

I have a 100kb. (internet connection)

The 'm' was a typo.
(was thinking about gu's 100Mb.......)


I just want to reduce lag.
But I was wondering if there was anything like Bitmapped fonts that I could change?

(in the config file...)

Ok, it seems now that I can run bitmap fonts, enhanced radar, and Linear mipmap linear. withought having lag...

I guess it's my ISP...


I would still love to know if there is anything else I can turn off that I haven't already?
