Title: Dealing With High Ping Players
Post by: [MAF]Vertigo on November 01, 2010, 09:57:00 am
I remember Love making a video similar to this ages ago but I couldn't find it
and since I was messing with snik yesterday i decided to put this together.

Since Snik didn't really understand the issue with 300+ ping players, I'm sure
there's a bunch of experienced players on aX that also aren't really sure about it
(not to mention newer players).

So check this out and i dunno maybe you'll learn something new.

good vid, but I already knew this :D I experienced it a lot of times when I thought I passed someone, but only passed his "image" so when I got in front I got spun out.

I didn't know that you can ram +300 ping players if you're driving 3 cars lenght in front of opponent. Next time I will know how to ram you vert  :D

lol maybe u understand me a bit now...

when im racing.... i go like 8 meters in front of you ....and in the clock says that someone is in front of me by 0.500 seconds, as if I go next to someone... i remember when [uXC]Young was angry easily when "i rammed him" lol... in my screen im always going ahead :( and you behind me....

sometimes high ping players are behind you but in real are the front. easy to catch lag and push or ram others.

example:

4)   0:49.216   xXx777

5)   0:49.230   LOL[UA]

i have a car length lag. i tested it with M4 and i was ramming him in the front but he saw ramming me behind. in that race we unbelievably synchronized lags and set highscores. he was pushing me and i was pushing him at the same time! :o

I'm sure that's legal, it's a case of luck :L

Post by: [MAF]Vertigo on November 03, 2010, 09:46:33 am
Yeah sometimes we laggers can get others to push us after a mistake without you even knowing lol. Can also use your images as battering rams lol. However this is not good <>

Ping limit 200. Good idea vert. :L

Well, it is shocking to see how far back the trail is.

But, I think if me and Snoopy made a video, it wouldn't be as shocking. The problem comes from players from countries thousands(guess?) of miles away from the server. Pings of 300+.
For example, the only two people who created a video to demonstrate this are an Aussie and a Filipino.

I'm amazed too, that's quite serious.

why do videos lag when watching them embedded with 1080p?

EDIT: i tested with internet explorer and it no longer lags. could just be ANOTHER problem with opera :(

is there any problem of lags/rams when 2 players with a ping of 500 race together ?

sorry if it sounds silly ;D

but if it s ok, can a server increase latency to a min value for all racers? (400 by example)

it would sort problems with high ping players

It just means that the other car is really a lot further infront/behind you.

And sure boots, I'll find somewhere else to play  :(

Title: Re: Dealing With High Ping Players
Post by: [MAF]Vertigo on November 11, 2010, 02:12:18 pm
ooo thought u meant increase the minimum ping so all player around 400 ping would be kicked  :P

he means that everyone on the server shud get 400 ping lol. perhaps endless torrents lol
Title: Re: Dealing With High Ping Players
Post by: [MAF]falky on November 11, 2010, 04:14:41 pm
400 ping for everyone? ;D

My ping is around 200-ish and the "image apartness" is not as great as vertigo's. So I think the lower your ping the smaller is the distance ???

I think you don't get the point of this thread lol. It's not How To Avoid Damn Laggers but how to deal with players having various pings.
