Tap Posted March 31, 2002 Share Posted March 31, 2002 I'm a huge star wars fan and I loved the first Jedi knight. I was especially fond of the multiplayer portion. This was back when all you needed was a 56k to enjoy a good online game. Unfortunately now a days games run like sh** on narrowband and as I don't have $60+ for broadband, does anyone know how smoothly it (Jedi Knight II) will play on a 56k modem? thanks.

Phaedrus Posted March 31, 2002 Share Posted March 31, 2002 All I can say is that everyone was complaining about how 56k users were being jipped. Peer-to-Peer didn't work for me too well, but dedicated servers were EXCELLENT. I played 16 player FFA with ZERO lag. I am a 56k user, you find a good server and you have my guarantee of a good time.

Vanor Posted March 31, 2002 Share Posted March 31, 2002 I'm on a 56k modem as well, and I have to say that so far this game seems lagless to me. There's a trick though, when you fire up the game, go into the console, and type /rate 3000 this sets your transfer rate down a bit and makes it a good bit more modem friendly.

Chanke4252 Posted March 31, 2002 Share Posted March 31, 2002 as long as you change your rate setting from the default 56k setting to /rate 2900 or /rate 3000 , then the game will play like a dream if you get into a decent server. I was never expecting this honestly. Im still getting a cable connection so I can get even better pings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[PoB]ArMAgeDDoN Posted March 31, 2002 Share Posted March 31, 2002 Well for me the peer-to-peer lags BAD, but I really dont know about DS (dedicated servers) because I havn't tried one yet. Anyway, my input. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lonepadawan Posted March 31, 2002 Share Posted March 31, 2002 pity mostof the servers have- LOW PING ONLY rules- still haven't been able to play online since I got. Never mind SP is very fun and bots are good if not good for a drawn out duel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mattock Posted March 31, 2002 Share Posted March 31, 2002 I'm kinda noob to MP stuff. How do you access the console? Is there any special strings to type in on the icon properties? Thx in advance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
