I don't think it makes sense that the game was balanced for 6v6 when the vast amount of player time spent is on games like 12v12. Large servers are constantly full. I'd love to see stats on the man-hours played in large games vs tiny 6x6 games. I…

There have been claims made that it is not latency, but packet loss that causes teleporting. Thoughts anyone?

Here's a video that everybody loved on how to play skulk, by the pro tyrsisxl.Skip to 3:30 to hear him talk about the lag I'm talking about.Yeah...what matso said had nothing to do with what I was talking about.Every time I kill a skulk who was standing still I know I got that kill for free - there was no chance for them to react and save themselves. Its pretty aw…We haven't even talked about the fact that if you're standing still a marine can come around the corner and kill you, before you've even see the guy for maybe 2 frames. The workaround is to "always be moving". In a game where you can be chomping o…Thanks for the explanation.I think we can both agree that work needs to be done on the netcode. I suppose I can accept dying around corners as long as the delay is small. I have experienced very large delays like the OP has o…Either we "punish" laggers, or we "punish" everybody else. If I have 300 ping, I should be the one experiencing the disadvantage. Its clear that laggers are the minority - why cater to them? Can you even use voice with 300 ping? In the aforement…I say get rid of lag compensation. Its terrible and gives laggers an advantage.I was playing in a european server the other day where I had 300+ ping (I'm on fiber - normally I have 40). Surprisingly, my gameplay experience w…I'm not using any personal mods, models, textures, or anything. Its pure vanilla. I don't even play combat. When a join a server it'll download mods but I can't help that.I'll try clearing my cache and stuff...Okay guys, in my case this was a false alarm.What happens is my computer locks up entirely for a good 15-20 seconds, at a black screen. No mouse input or anything. Previously I would get impatient and just assume it locked up…Sorry guys I dropped the ball here. Hopefully this weekend I have time to try windowed mode.
Wow, the difference is like night and day. Uber crappy low res junk to super nice PCF shadows. There's gotta be some sort of compromise - we don't need variable penumbras. What about variance shadows?
in Improved shadows mod (tweaked shader) Comment by Fudo_Style April 2013I was wrong. Some techniques do add jitter or noise, such as the angle-based AO which NS2 uses.
I did a little more research and I've pin-pointed exactly what bothers me about this implementation. There's no spatial consistency. When y…(Quote)
Incorrect. You'll only see noise in naive implementations. In fact ALL (even going all the way back to crysis' SSAO) versions of AO go out of their way to avoid noise! They either 1.) increase the number of texture samples taken…Another example of the type of "noise" I'm seeing:
They ambient shadows look all speckled. UW might just need to …Searching for "ambient occlusion artifacts" on google, quickly brought me back to this very forum! Small world!
It looks like HeatSurge noticed this as well, but got no response. He described the effect as "ripples" which is very accur…To get some conversation going, this picture sort of shows what I'm talking about. This is NOT from NS2, its just an example of a naive AO implementation.
As you can see, there are weird stripes and checkerboarding from this version of …Alright I'll bite.
I've been experiencing this bug for maybe 6 months, so its nothing new. I've gone through multiple video drivers within this timeframe and I'm running 13.1 beta now. I experience typical symptoms - around a 40% chanc…Warning No formatter is installed for the format ipbWarning No formatter is installed for the format ipbWarning No formatter is installed for the format ipbWarning No formatter is installed for the format ipbWarning No formatter is installed for the format ipbWarning No formatter is installed for the format ipbWarning No formatter is installed for the format ipbWarning No formatter is installed for the format ipbWarning No formatter is installed for the format ipbWarning No formatter is installed for the format ipbWarning No formatter is installed for the format ipb
