Jailbreak 2004 MotherShip Server

[Funktion]

While my ping was not a lot less than it is now I didn't "feel" so much lag as a I do in the new server, don't know why (I didn't check my "packages lost" info). With the same ping on the old server I didn't have as many problems as I did in the new one (by the way I'm connecting from Europe). During the first maps when I was shooting a Flak Cannon the shots took more than a second to actually be fired!

Hopefully, since sooner or later I'll have a 4Mb or 8Mb connection, my problems will disappear...

Btw: Can you put Crusher on MS?

Nice steady 128 ping last night.
It was great to frag PMS again

 

[XS PMS]

Yes it was fun blowing yer head off love I havent played in so long I think I may have forgotten..... My 9 year old plays better than me

 

[tarquin]

So what's the verdict?

Is it playable on the new server?

 

[Trueblood]

I`d rather it on the old

 

[Funktion]

I just left the server, because it was unplayable for me. I know I'm connecting from Europe, but I never experienced lag as bad as today. I was 0-15 or so, and 90% of the times I didn't even see someone shooting at me, I was simply walking, freeze, then respawn in jail.

The server was yet again a lag fest more than that of a frag fest. The Sunday Lockdowns have become Freeze-Ups. The New York server is needed and never experienced these problems something has to be done and in a pithy matter. Actions to fix this problems must be swift, responsive, and appropriate. I shall expect this problem to be fixed at least 3 Lockdowns from now. Can we get any report upon the progress of the server situation?

 

[ZedMaestro]

When you were complaining about lag on Sunday, I looked at your ping. It was 88ms. Almost everyone else, especially Europeans, was pinging around 128ms.

I'll let everyone draw their own conclusions about that.

Also, what will you do if it isn't fixed in 3 weeks time?

 

[Mychaeel]

I suppose he will take punitive action -- perhaps throw us all in the brig.

 

[Trueblood]

Was the ping still high when the majority of people left on Sunday?
Maybe the server can hand 4 v 4 but not 8 v 8

Also, what will you do if it isn't fixed in 3 weeks time?

Something "swift, responsive, and appropriate."

 

[Spudsy]

The point of my ping being 88 is not the issue here. It doesn't matter if the ping was 1 if the lag made it unplayable, then it's unplayable. Now, I understand that everyone in Europe has it worse but, I too am having lag problems. I look at it this way, everyone is having problems with lag no matter the location or ping and I am one of them. Therefore I shall also opine upon the problem of the Detroit server.

It doesn't matter if the ping was 1 if the lag made it unplayable, then it's unplayable.

What's the difference between ping and lag?

 

[4WD]

What's the difference between ping

high ping: u push the button to shoot & ur shot is not instantly being executet (a few seconds later... well not really seconds, but i think u'll understand)

and lag?

ur movement is not fluid (little freezes while playing)

 

[Timonator]

ur movement is not fluid (little freezes while playing)

i once had a that bad lag, i was teleporting across the whole map (no kidding!)

 

[TK v3]

Ping: The time it takes for a packet to go from location to location, generally averaged.
Lag: Generally the effect of lost packets.

 

[Timonator]

the lag was not really there tonite, atleast not for me, my clanmates [SF]Fredyy and [SF]DerDoofe had really bad lag!

 

[Trueblood]

There was lag, but it was sort of "on and off" which was weird
but everyone felt it, from people pining at 44 to people who are at 140

 

[TK v3]

I didn't really feel it. Most of the time I was able to compensate by leading the target far enough.

Inspired by the JELP 2005 I have added UT2Vote50 to our MotherShip and fixed a problem with the redirect server (so everyone should receive the needed file(s) when connecting) - see ya at the Sunday Lockdown!

 

[Timonator]

aah the sunday lockdown! almost forgot! count me in!!
