Anyone know of any good servers to play NS on? I get crazy lag--like over 500--on almost every server i join. Is this cause from hacks, or does NS require more bandwith for some reason? Game looks sweet though, mixing first-person and RTS! What a concept! Now i can finally uninstall Starcraft.

DO NOT UNINSTALL STARCRAFT1!1!
NS is sucky sucky, 10 dollars (or less ffs).
Savage already made the rts/fps thingy, ns just copied it and put it in a crappy gameplay system.

NS hacks? What are these? Hackers are almost instantly removed from the community...

NS may require a bit more bandwith because it's more detailed and uses more things like particle systems and detailed player models and such. It can be laggy in big battles, it likes to cl_FlushEntityPacket me in big battles.

ZombieLoffe, you realise you're up against the largest unofficial HL mod community here?

My conx is T1. When i play CS, the highest latency i get is 80-100. When i play NS it's crazy high like 700-1000! Any suggestions appreciated.

Might just be the servers. Try playing in servers with about 10 people.

Cool, thanks.

Where do you live? Try and play on servers around your area. If you live in England, and play on a server based in the US, you are going to lag like hell. Google for NS servers and your area/country.

It might be an the option in steam that asks you to chose your internet connection speed. If you set it too low, it lags like crazy (as I found out). select the connection above what it is set at at the moment, and see if that helps.

and dont run things like bit torrenet or kazaa when playing.

as a matter of interest, you using AOL?

Nope, nuttin' but steam. No aol/winamp/kazaa etc. My CS works fine in terms of lag, Just having this problem with NS.

Latency, not lag.

Probably just NS being more complicated, unless you've, as async said, mis-set something.
