Hellish multiplayer still...

Psi9179 · 14th Dec 1999, 12:02 AM

Okay, i posted this before, but there may have been some confusion, so this time I will go into greater detail.

I have a PII 233, 64mb RAM, Voodoo2 12mb computer. I use my college LAN to connect to the internet, hence i have very low pings, around 30-150 while playing games, so that isn't the problem. Whenver I start a multiplatyer game, online or not, the Lag is hell. It's totally unplayable. It's even in the menus once I start up the game. Once I quit the game, it's fine again. Singleplayer mode runs great, especially for my computer. I know it's not my video card, I've ran it in several video modes, all equally suck. HELP ME!!!

Make sure you have the right connection option checked off in the menu, that's the only other thing I can think of.

The netcode is broken. Not in the way that you would think, but rather in the fact that there are spikes and lag from hell. I have posted a couple of times but everyone else blames it off to bad ISP, modem tweaking. It could very well be, but I have done everything possible and it still does it. I have also e-mailed epic so that they will know that problems do exist and you should do the same thing. Good Luck.
