i have some problems with inf, i can play single player (offline) perfectly fine and it runs smooth. but when i play online it seems like i hit these invisible walls. occationally my arms will be moving like im making forward progress but im not. and sometimes ill move somewhere and then suddenly appear back 10 steps. and i don't think its ping cause im at college with a t1 connection getting an average ping of 100. i have a laptop with a amd athlon 2700xp+, with 512 ddr ram, radeon IGP 320M 64mb graphics card.

i know it sounds like lag, it well my be, but please help me.

Have you configured the connection speed in INF menu well ?

If not , go to the Mission Menu , then Game Options , and at the bottom change the Internet Connection Speed to what you are using (cable/xdsl/modem etc ...)

It is very important , as a wrong setting can introduce lag even for high connection speed users

Of course FieldMedic is correct. I exprience this often myself due to my poor connect. Running up the same staircase 10 times in Siberia is no fun. My team mates gets lots of laughs though.

What I find strange though that since 2.9 has come out I have not experienced this.

As a dumb n00b, I would like to be pointed in direction for tweaking your netspeed. As far as I understand, you should set it as high as possible until packet loss occurs. Is that correct? Is there a way to see if the server has a max netspeed?

Thanks in advance,

Most of the servers use 10000 netspeed, but the Inforces server uses 7000

no way to tell the netspeed if the server doesnt tell you ( as far as i know)

to change it from 10000 to 7000 pres tab or the console and type

netspeed 7000 or any number you want..

Freshmeat: not really.

Take your connection speed e.g. 64000Kbps (ISDN) - for modems, use the actual connection speed you get, rather than the maximum (56k).
Divide by 2 to simulate up/downstream (if your connection has different up and downstream speeds, take the slowest and skip this step) e.g. 32000Kbps.
Divide by 8 to get KBps, e.g. 4000KBps.
Take away about 10% to cover the overhead needed e.g. 3600KBps.
Now go to the console and type 'netspeed 3600', and you're done.

I'll put this in the common problems thread.
