q2dm5_bad_ts_connection
« on: July 26, 2010, 01:44:08 AM »
Posting this because everyone else in the game said their connections were fine.
q2 plays fine on other servers. q2 plays fine on my own computer.
Other games dont have this problem either.
So, it has to be my connection to theplanet or the TS server settings.
same on vanilla as dm.
plays as if my ping is 150ms or so(I usually have around 40ms ping)... everything is delayed.  Railgun; press fire and one one-thousand and then it fires.
netgraph is clean... thin green line with no red at the bottom of the screen.

same player, same computer, same configs, same game; yet it plays as bad now with a 5mb down/2 mb up cablemodem as it did in 1998 with a 19.2 modem.

any suggestions (other than traceroute, because all that does is tell me what I already know)?
TIA.

You already know your route by heart?

I meant, if traceroute shows a poor connection, then there's nothing that can be done anyway.
that's all.

Hmm... ping trace from server to you looks pretty reasonable also:

Try a new download of a client, with default configuration and run a packet capture.  Actually look at the times and see if you are getting the server responses in a timely manner.

I'm not sure what command you are talking about.  =/

>>> Try a new download of a client, with default configuration and run a packet capture.  Actually look at the times and see if you are getting the server responses in a timely manner.

Are you talking about r1q2(or similar) or a packet sniffer like wireshark?
I don't know how to do a packet capture or how to see the results even if I did.  =/

I watch demos of myself from 2003 and everything is so smooth.... a sureness in every step.   Now, I have a hard time getting through doorways...

you can run wireshark and click start for a packet capture, run q2, then stop it, then look at the time column. use r1q2 or another client with default configuration, see if you can run it in safe mode with processes and services turned off
