I've seen the Redeemer work fine online. Have never tried it though.
I must be getting old because I don't remember any game similar to UT that didn't get a patch or two ..or three ..or ten..

It seems that everytime I play online that the disconnect icon pops up every few minutes. I've tried changing modems and adjusting settings ingame but to no avail. I play q3 and h/l online with no problem so I doubt it is my isp. Any suggestions? Comments? I appreciate the help. Thanks :)

Its just the simple fact that there isnt the raw number of UT servers up yet in comparison to Quake 2. The first unreal had Known netcode issues and I suspect that there are many servers admins hesitant to give up the space until they hear others say that the game is better than Unreal, netcode wise. Which it is, btw. /~unreal/ubb/html/wink.gif Try and be patient as more servers will certainly be coming on-line as the game now is in wide release for the holidays.

When you have 1,500 servers to choose from for a quake game you will be much more likely to find better gameplay, at least from your perspective. As you can find servers that you have better connections to far easier. i think UT has less than 500 servers running at present. ITS NOT UT's fault. UT is great game, with great netcode. I played it all weekend (4 days straight, hehe) on my LAN with friends with nary a glitch. My only wish is that I had a server so I could support Epic for all their hardwork. I would be happy to host UT.

All in all, just be patient. Your choices will improve.

Lastly, do NOT ever listen to The Wraith! as the dozens....and dozens of my fans will confirm, The Wraith is a posting board crap distruber. He likes the fact that your problem lends credence to his belief that UT has flawed netcode. Well you know, The Wraith will have a date with Socko soon enuff!....Have a nice day /~unreal/ubb/html/smile.gif

Thanks for the info, I appreciate it. UT is a great game. Just because it might have some bugs doesn't take away from the fact that it awesome.

All games will have patches because games are constantly being revised. Most people are under the impression that when a game is released it is supposed to be perfect. It ain't so. The mark of a quality game is the support factor and I truly feel and believe that Epic will resolve any problems that exist.

If I remeber correctly Quake and Halflife had a load of patches and they are considered great games. Thanks again. :)

I hate to disagree, but I've fired the redeemer without problems (yes wraith with alt fire) and it never has exploded in my face. It has to do with packet loss--if your connectin fails, even briefly, the redeemer considers it a release and splat. SO it works if you have a solid connection

Yeah, I went back and tried the redeemer online and everything was OK. I used Alt-fire and steered it around for awhile until it toasted everything in sight. Damn that's a cool weapon. ...must be your connection, Wraith.

You aren't using some kind of odd joystick are you?

You ping 140 on a 56k?! Damn, I should send back my cable modem and go back to dial up. I'm lucky to ping as low as 150.
Anyway, a big problem is all the ppl who start up servers on their old p90's, hooked up to a cable modem or isdn connection limited to 128k upstream, and run 16 player games. STOP IT!!! Then this sort of crap happens:

(I have to add that Latch isn't one of those morons, but this screenie *was* amusing 'cause he was having a few server probs that day /~unreal/ubb/html/smile.gif )

*Sniff Sniff* Hey Wraith?? IS that a challenge I smell?? Well, well, well..all i have to say is BRING IT ON BRO! =)) I am ALWAYS up for a good giblet dinner with a nice rolling head for dessert!

By the way
"It stated with high pings dummy my ping is around 140 "
"If anythings gonna hang buddy its you when I frag your A$$ for that comment Damphir !!"
"netcode is the only thing that would cause that not my IP hell you probably are using a cable modem , Isdn or asdl to make that stupid a$$ statement!!!!"

Must you resort to such an immature rhetoric that your incompetent self can't understand things if they aren't monosyllabically defined for you??
GIVE ME A BREAK! Take a couple valiums and relax pal.
Before you spout off and start flapping at the gums, maybe you need to realize just who the audience that you cater to is, with this jester side show that you display. =)
