Kuhan Posted March 26, 2002 Share Posted March 26, 2002 Hey all! I just started visiting this forum. I am glad to see that there is actually a place where people really know that this game even exists. When I usually want to find info on games I go to IGN or GameFAQs but they hardly have anything. Anyway to get to the point, I was wondering if the multiplayer on this game will be 56k friendly? Back when i played JK it seemed to work OK but when i tried new games the lag was intense. So will this work for my dial-up? I usually get about 50-52 Kbps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Locke101 Posted March 26, 2002 Share Posted March 26, 2002 FYI, threads have already been posted on this topic. But i'll give you some information anyways. I'm Sure Raven did the best could with making the netcode friendly to 56krs. Also, to double check to see if you can play Quake 3 point release 1.31 and see what kind of lag you get. That should give you some sort of an idea on what to expect. I didn't give to much but just look around for other threads on this particular question and your answer should be somewhere.

Wolfsburg Posted March 27, 2002 Share Posted March 27, 2002 i think you will be ok, i also use 56k, here are my statistics on other quake 3 engine games: quake3 = ran pretty good wolfenstein = runs great medal of honor = runs slow as heck 80% of the time so hopefully jk2 will be alright, just have to wait and see.

Aik Posted March 27, 2002 Share Posted March 27, 2002 With a slow modem conn. like that, you can't really expect it to run without lag... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alunar Posted March 27, 2002 Share Posted March 27, 2002 I have a 56K myself. Yes, it connects at 56K, and I don't seem to lag too badly. Provided the players are on the continent. (I play AvP, my 3D card is too bad to play much else..). Also, the time of day seems to have a big effect. :\ And sometimes, it's just luck. Lag is a fickle mistress.

Mr. Patience Posted March 27, 2002 Share Posted March 27, 2002 Hey, that's weird. I started the exact same thread with the exact same title in subject field. I looked around a little to see if this question had been asked, too. Apologies for asking a redundant question. It's just too funny though.
