Read second post for cut down version for lazy peeps!
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Ok, if people could do this it would be great for me to get a little understanding of whats going wrong for me.
For consitencys sake, lets use windows ping tool.
If your on XP, do Start > Run
Then type command, and hit enter
type in:
For Prydwen: ping 193.252.123.177 /n 100
For Excalibur: ping 193.252.123.33 /n 100
For Camlann: ping 193.252.123.147 /n 100
Hit enter.
Now this will take just under 2 minutes, try not to do anything, like download, play games or load pages during this time. If you do, it will effect the report, but since its a large sample it wont effect it too much.
When its done, post the report it generates at the end.
to do this, right click on the black screen and click Mark
Now drag over the text, and right click when you have it all covered, and just paste it into your reply. Should look something like this:
Ping statistics for 193.252.123.177:
Packets: Sent = 100, Received = 100, Lost = 0 (0% loss),
Approximate round trip times in milli-seconds:
Minimum = 36ms, Maximum = 70ms, Average = 39ms
Ok, now looking at your average ping the part of the report thats in bold, reply to the poll, picking the option your ping is in, and wether your happy or not with your lets say "lag performance in RvR", if you dont get that last part ill explain it now by what i mean.
In rvr, despite my decent ping to the prydwen server, I will get "this target is too far away to attack" when chasing people alot, regardless if i manually follow or stick them. Now I know theres alot of exploits with things like this, but this isnt the only reason I get it, it happens when im chasing none exploiting players. Because of this, and my low ping I get the feeling its more to do with my system. For anyone who has played quake they might understand with the whole famous 125fps and 333fps. I think, that my system which isnt the best for daoc, seems to freeze while proccessing the attack cycle, and therefore im too far away from the target, but after the attack phase, interpolation means that I get dragged back to being right behind them and it looks like I never lagged or lost any distance from my target.
If thats confusing for you, dont worry just choose the option that says My ping is xx-xx and im happy, or im not happy. You choose your not happy if you find it dificult to attack people while chasing them, or experience other types of strange lag during RvR.
Thanks
[Edit] This is not an epeen thread, we dont care about your awesome ping!
