Tweaks?

in NS2 General Discussion
I have noticed that many people (like NS2HD) don't have very much lag when playing. I am wondering if this is due to tweaking certain things in their games/settings before playing. Low framerates, an occasional half second stutter, and seldomly a short "Connection Interrupted" timeout.

I am fairly confident the problem is not due to my computer, but I will list the relevant information regardless.


It is not a huge deal, but it makes playing comfortably and competitively nigh impossible.

    I think it has more to do with picking the right server. That can make all the difference.

    If the Win2k Pro machine is part of an AD domain, it would show the Primary
    DNS Suffix of the domain. If not, that is an optional setting. For client
    machines, it affects what zone it will register into. The connection and DNS
    search suffix will also default the the Prim Dns Suffix. If it's just a
    standalone machine, it's quite common to have a blank entry. However, this
    will not affect browsing traffic.

    If NS2HD had a magic performance tweak to make the game run great I'm sure he would share it. I think there are just bugs with hardware/driver compatibility or something.

    Software tweaking is the operation of rising the show of an covering or the dimension of its production. There can be two ways of accomplishing this: manually (that is, if one is usual with programing; though it may be irrelevant if the germ of the application is closed, and there are no built-in capital to set its show) or using other join of software specialised for that determine (specified as Red Switch and SysTool[1], semi-automatic tweaking utilities victimised to improve the execution of Microsoft Windows XP. Tweaking of this kind generally increases usability, in status of individualized design preferences, rather than lense action of the method overall). Linux and another undetermined maker products are designed to assist the tweaking affect as often as Any rattling distinct applications requirement unceasing and thoroughgoing tweaking to check up to meeting and communicate human doable results. One of the most evident examples of such a alright tuning is Simpleton MP3 encoder, whose 3.9x result is not exclusive advised as the state-of-the-art MP3 encoder, [2] but also continues to shape the boundaries of the MP3 codec and fill capitalist with its successors.
