Ahhh! Lag! Created 20 years ago2004-10-31 18:46:41 UTC by Jahzel

Everytime I create a server it always ends up real lagged and everyone moans. I never get affected by lag though, only others. Someone said I should use listenserver, but I dont understand what it is and what I do with it... Basically, is there a way of reducing this terrible lag? (Ping reaches sometimes over 3000! - This must be stopped.)

GET OFF 56K YOU DIAL-UP PIECE OF SHIT!

GET OFF 56K YOU DIAL-UP PIECE OF SHIT!

fffs....I'm on broadband dumbass!

D'oh. Stop downloading "Conspiracy.pr0n.david.icke.incestual.threesome.mpg"?

grins

Jahzel: ADSL?

ggogle for the listenserver, and uhm, well.
You don't get lag because you're essentially on a LAN, everyone else however.. ='/

Try limiting teh player numbers, 8 or even 6.

Don't put on large maps, and try not to have any crazy mods running.

Also make sure that ALL you are runnign is the game server. no other programs, turn off your firewall (windows one too) and double check you're not runnign anything else.

That's teh only way to reduce lag, apart from getting a decent server and paying for it.

I intend to get a seperate tower for use as a server verysoon.
So I could help you out there.

No, I dont download or use irc during my server running. I read about various console commands that may prevent any lag for players. Its annoying because I always have almost no ping at all while everyone else has absurd ping levels (reaching into the 3000). I will limit max players to about 8, (6 is TOO low! - especially as I enjoy playing the new Zombie Panic mod for a laugh) - Erm, I think what causes lag for others is dial-up users entering the server, so I may have to find out the command that prevents them from entering (unfair, but necessary). I'm basically just going to look around the internet for lag prevention.

No, it's for pretty much any mod, you can get AMX mods that kick players with a ping higher than a chosen number.

Tbh, I'd just kick people that have high pings.

6 years since HL came out and peopel are still playing on 56k.

It's shocking.

Mind you, I had alot of trouble trying to convince my parents about the benefits of broadband - I said something on the lines of "yeah, it'dbe great, I will be able to do my research 100 times faster!" (In other words, I'll be able to play HL online 100 times faster)

My old man wanted BB anyway.. so I got lucky, but if they'd stuck to 56k I'd be paying for BB right now.

I don have BB but i have 256k.

Its alright for games like TF, HL, and Sven-Coop. But when i get to games like TS or NS, it gets super slow. Not cool.

Erm, iemc, 256K is broadband.
