Hmm so I actually reduced a bunch of the lag by setting my maxpackets to 20.... go figure. I was reading somewhere that 20 actually helps alot of people.

unless of course, everyone has solid connections which I highly doubt.

No. It does not.

"If your MaxPackets is not set to a valid value, it is a potential waste of bandwidth and therefore potential lag/instability. For example, if your framerate drops to 100 then your valid MaxPackets values will change to: 100/1 = 100 100/2 = 50 100/3 = 34 100/4 = 25 etc. So if you have your Cl_MaxPackets set to 100 and are using 125fps then mostly your MaxPackets will be at 63 (highlited in yellow above) (this is the largest value not exceeding the input Cl_MaxPackets limit). However, when the framerate drops to 100fps, the MaxPackets will change to 100 as this is now the largest value that does not exceed the input Cl_MaxPackets limit (highlited in yellow above). If your connection cannot handle 100 packets it will cause your ping to rise or spike. Even if it can handle the jump from 63 to 100 packets, this may well cause your ping to fluctuate more than if your actual MaxPackets were constant. -injx"

Yes. Yes it does. If enough people's pings spike, it can cause global lag spikes.

Everyone should read this! http://bashandslash.com/index.php?Itemid=63&id=51&option=com_content&task=view

It has everything one needs to know about fps/packets.

we keep it at 100... 

I usually have mine set to 84 since I run 250 fps. What do you mean by "we"? Do you mean that the server sets everyone at 100? If that is the case, well I just figured out the lag problem for everyone.

Even if all players manually set packets to 100, it would cause MAJOR lag spikes (like the ones we get today.)

Many others do just fine. Boom got me so many times last evening I was ready to deck him... if I could. I do pretty poorly also. But that is because my aim sucks balls. 

I always do relatively well, but that wasn't my point. I've never been in a match where at least a few people aren't complaining about how badly the server lags. That to me, is incredibly unfortunate considering how awesome the mods are. You have done some truly incredible work with this thing and I'm trying to throw out some constructive criticism in the form of epic "bitching and moaning".

I find the notion of "eh people do fine so meh" fundamentally flawed in regards to such a clear and persistent problem. When you turn a corner and shoot at someone only to freeze for a split second and die, or you sneak up behind an enemy and unload a clip, 5 feet away from them, without a single hitmarker; I think it's safe to say that is something that could be fixed!

I've talked with a few xi members who have experience with this type of thing and they all come to a similar conclusion; a problem most likely caused from the bloated security scripts or whatever they're called.

Ok so I have to vent a little bit... Let me start by saying I am a pretty damn good shot, especially with a sniper rifle. That being said, the hit detection is DREADFULLY screwed up. Like so exceptionally bad I feel like I'm playing with 738 ping at all times. It might feel to some that the hit detection is better now but that can easily be explained by reduced movement speed. Most of the time, I have to aim a few feet in front of a moving target and there are times where I'm shooting a guy directly in the body, from 10 feet away, with a 50 cal, and not a single hit marker is had(on a stationary target).

The lag spikes have always been pretty awful, and I only ever get them on this specific server. I have a feeling it is largely due to the massive anti-cheat regulations in place. Either way, it's damn near unplayable in my opinion, I just tolerate it because we don't really have any other options and I love playing with the regulars! The fact that I get lag spikes right as I'm shooting somebody and mini-freezes truly blows. Is there any possible way we can work on a solution? Does anyone else have an idea of what is at the root of the problem?
 

Oh and in my opinion, when you hit someone directly with a secondary/ primary nade, should be one shot kill! BLUNT FORCE TRAUMA!

We should be able to ride on the remote control cars of our allies!

We could have a perk that allows for faster defrosting (for the medic healers types that enjoy it)

Noobtoobs should be friendly fire

Lag fix would be epic!

More original cod maps from cod 1/2/3/4/5/6

We should be able to talk to our team in overtime after we die now that we can't spectate the enemy!

Tagger should be banned from using noobtoobs for ever.

 

Also, noobtoobs still in game, sadface!

I'm sad that hardwired and hardliner are in the same tier now =(

nvm fixed it

Losing Key Packets 9003

Anyone else having this problem?

BOOOOBBBIIIIEEESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!! Welcome you damn idiot <3

fuuuuuudddgee I'm jelly for sure!

Damn I want in!!!

I can't believe no one has mentioned:

Brave Vagina


FREEEEEEEEEDOOOOOOOOOOOMMMMMMMMMMMMM

I play on a friend's account! Mostly working on 90-99 bracket twinks. Level 100 pvp blows imo! I really only enjoy pvp and at times just make a character and level through battlegrounds.

@@RealEstufa, what @@iboomboom means here is that his fantasy is now spoiled.  You were the perfect broken-ass, toothless grandmother of his dreams...then the photo...

I will still be his broken-ass, toothless grandmother if he will allow me! Broken granny all day!!!

thx all for sharing

 

its allways funny that the faces dont match to the voices... at least in my head

Are you referring to the fact that I sound like a nerdy girl?

This is me in High-School!

This is me attempting to be a gay pirate!

This is me trying to look cool and failing pretty badly.

This is me simultaneously achieving gay pirate status while showing off my new tattoo/gym progress!!

This is me where I used to live, after my first gym injury and looking kinda fat.

This is me now(photo while in Bali), much skinnier after my last few gym injuries, but realizing the only thing that matters in life is being a heterosexual fairy. I achieved this 'swimmingly'!

Figured it out derp!

????????  realy ???????

I thoroughly appreciate all the lovely responses and am ecstatic about becoming an idiot! Let's be honest, I think it was clear from day one that I wanted to be apart of your family =)! It's finally here muahahha! I will do my best to represent the essence of a complete and utter idiot! See you guys on the battlefield!

p.s. FU BOOMBOOM & bring is Huskie!

 

If you guys need extra players I'm down, would play for cod4 team

Finally have some decent wifi in Ubud Bali and felt like saying hi. I miss you idiots and hope everyone is doing swimmingly! Having some crazy adventures and loving it. I'm looking forward to playing with you guys/ladies when I get back (probably getting my rusty ass kicked).

p.s. Fuck you boomboom and fuck you Huskie
