Once apon a time Steven Anderson said, 'Re: USR upgrade' to Simon Byrnand...



 SB> players, monsters, moving platforms etc....you gain consistency, and the

 SB> ability for players to freely join/leave a game, mid game, but unless you

 SB> play over a LAN, all the clients suffer from movement lag, especially bad

 SB> over the internet, but still quite bad over a modem connection.



 SA> Internet Play Lagged?,  I would not call a ping under 200ms bad

 SA> lag!, Its very playable and QUAKEWORLD is even better..  Any servers

 SA> under 400ms are playable. (as long as you dont have a ping that jumps

 SA> around)



I take it then, that you have not played multiplayer (4 or more) deatmatchs

over network cards much? There is just no comparison, internet play sucks,

although Quakeworld is certainly an improvement. It is still fun in other

ways though, it can be hilarious when you actually fluke hitting someone ;)



 SA> Are you playing on a dedicated server or a Listen server?



A dedicated server running a P133. Good enough for ya? ;-)



Regards,

Simon
