Get Rid Of The Lag

<div class="IPBDescription">I hate it</div> <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo--> people. I began playing Natural Selection couple days ago. Interesting. Really interesting.

I hope that they will get rid of the LAG soon. Usually on good servers I have <50ms ping constantly while playing plain vanilla Counter-Strike. Now the smallest possible seems to be around 200ms. Uh. <!--emo&:angry:--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/mad.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='mad.gif'><!--endemo--> Even fast servers on fast networks feel like <!--emo&:(--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/sad.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='sad.gif'><!--endemo-->

Practically I can't <!--emo&::asrifle::--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/asrifle.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='asrifle.gif'><!--endemo--> all the <!--emo&::onos::--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tiny.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='tiny.gif'><!--endemo--> and everything since I have no time to time to react. Especially Fades feel real bad. They are visible for only split seconds and they have already shot and back behind the corner. <!--emo&:angry:--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/mad.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='mad.gif'><!--endemo-->

Perhaps I am just picky, but come on.. They should stop all the other developement until they have got mostly rid of the lag.

You didn't mention what connection you have but I ping anywhere between 50 and 200 with broadband in the UK.

And fades are like that no matter what lag/ping you have <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo-->

sounds like ur playing on a 1.0 server, 1.01 have barley any lag, i get 20ms myself!

Oof? <!--emo&:0--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/wow.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='wow.gif'><!--endemo--> So it's the servers and I have just had bad luck? Damn. I am on a university network, 10Mbit connection and it is lightning fast and usually lag-free. Damn damnity damn.

I just can't get All-Seeing Eye to find any NS games. It just defaults to finding cstrike games and won't recognize NS.

Hmm. Have to investigate more.

Pulse

funny, do you have the latest version? It comes with a custom filter for NS and a 1.01 filter as well.

From the FAQ of ASE:

15. How do I get mods to work with CS Retail?

A: Options > Games > Half-Life. Point the command line to your cstrike.exe. That will trick ASE into working with mods.

Now just guess what version I have here <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo--> Have to try this in a few hours when I have some time. Couldn't find this one from the Tech forum where ASE and others were discussed. <!--emo&???--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/confused.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='confused.gif'><!--endemo-->

Now I just have to verify things. Source of the lag (choose servers better) and this ASE thingy.

thats what ya get for living in the UK trying to play on US servers with 56k

It´s just the choice of server really. On local servers (very few) i get about 30-60 ping. I´m in Scandinavia and i usually play on UK or US servers (better when everyone speaks the same language). I played on a full 20 player server lastnight and i had 150-180 ping, which is very much playable for me.

I'm on a college connection as well. Before patch, i never got below 250 pings. After the patch, i have about 100 servers in ASE with sub 100 pings, which is just fine.

The problem isn't technically lag, its that NS takes ALOT of processing power of the server, and people are trying to run NS on servers similar to ones that run CS fine.

Flayra is working on further server optimizations to cut down on the pings.

As for your ASE troubles, i have no idea. I just dl'd the newest version and it worked right away.
