ObsidianII Posted April 1, 2002 Share Posted April 1, 2002 Does anyone else experience unbelievable lag when playing this game? Outside of the game my ping to servers is around 100-200, but the instant I get in a game that ping jumps to 999 (guessing the game can't show pings higher than that). It doesn't matter how many people are in the game, even if it's just me and the host the ping is rediculous. When there's only 1 other person in the game (the host) sometimes the ping will drop to 200 or so but instantly jump back to 999 when that other person is on screen. I never had any lag problems with any game before this. Anyone know what's wrong? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[PoB]ArMAgeDDoN Posted April 1, 2002 Share Posted April 1, 2002 I have a little theory on why your ping is so bad. My theory is that the Q3 engine wasn't meant to be used for peer-to-peer MP games, it was made to be used in terms of dedicated servers. Thats just my guess, and it seems to be right.

Owen Posted April 1, 2002 Share Posted April 1, 2002 I seem to get lag stutters in MP even when I have a ping of 50. Maybe it is a driver bug or something they can patch out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
