Hey guys, I've changed my name from Kyrillion/b] to [b]Scattershot just so you know

.

i'm also wondering if any of you and advice me on how to lower my ping, and it seriously has gone nuts, last night i kept getting around 400! ping continuously in Darji 2, i have no idea why or how this keeps happening, all i know is that its pissing me off and i want to see it fixed.

If any of you can advice me on how to lower it/ fix it, please post

Check for viruses and addawares. They can silently 'talk' using ur connection. Buy a good antyvir software. And use it. :>
Quit all unnecessary programs (like MSN).
Check ur ET settings (timenudge, rate, and so on).

As ze Ratz said make sure there isnt any unwanted programs chewing your line, however distance from server and signal strength in your area are another factor you have to settle for

PS 1 is in Germany I believe.

well here is some commands...

write those to console...

/pb_cdkeyreg
/pb_cdkeyver
/pb_cdkeyverauto 1
/pb_writecfg
/pb_sleep 500
/pb_security 0
/rate 25000 or 40000
/cl_maxpackets 100
/snaps 40
/cl_packetdup 1

and to see what rate/snaps or cl_maxpackets other ppl have write /players in console...

/com_hunkmegs 120 is good too (but i think that you have that...)

FAQ wrote:As with every multiplayer game, a good and smooth gameplay all depends on your Ping. If you experience a high Ping or Lags first try to close down as much other programs as possible (such as; p2p download programs, msn, antivirus software etc.) to ensure that the problem isnâ€™t in one of those programs.

If that doesnâ€™t work there are a few commands you can configure within ET to help you tweak your connection and streamline your Ping.

/cl_maxpackets X
The bigger X is, the more information your computer sends to the server, so basically your actions will be more accurate and gives you a smoother playing experience. 30 is standard but you will see that most â€˜pro-playersâ€™ use 100 maxpackets.

Recommended: /cl_maxpackets 100
TIP: Use /cl_maxpackets 76 in combination with /com_maxfps 76 for smoother results in some occasions.

/snaps X
Determines how many times per second the server sends your pc updates (snapshots) of the game state.

"The server can only generate a snap each server frame, since a snap is defined by the state generated in the server frame. So for the server to send you more than sv_fps (standard set to 20) snaps wouldn't make any sense. Now, the ET code has been known to do things that don't make sense, but if it did something dumb like sending you 2 identical snaps per frame, it should show up in network traffic and likely weirdness on your client. By observation, it doesn't." -reyalP (ETPro)

Recommended: /snaps 20

/rate X
The standard rate of 5000 dates back to the old days when the Quake3 engine (id Tech 3) was first released back in 1999. 56k modems were still in use by most gamers and *DSL lines were a luxury only a few could affort. These days most people have a proper *DSL, Cable or fiber optic connection and should therefore use the maximum value, capped by the Q3 engine code itself, of 25000.

Recommended: /rate 25000

/cl_timenudge X
This command is misunderstood by a lot of people and does not physically lower your ping at all. Very basically; a positive value increases client side prediction while a negative value decreases it (you should only use values between -50 and 0). These days most ET Mods (No Quarter, ETPub, ETPro) run with antilag code that makes the use of timenudge useless and/or counterproductive.

no rate 40000 only /rate 25000

Why? U can do /rate 25000 or 40000!

if i do rate 40000 then my connection goes unselected, but that must be lan/....../..... (sth like that) and the ur lagging like hell

by **Evil** » Fri Sep 05, 2008 23:17

ive got also unselected and it give me a nice ping alltought
if i select lan etc... at connection what is at u unselected i get major lag and my ping goes to 100 now unselected its 25 so its nice

by **Kyrillion** » Wed Sep 10, 2008 7:51

I tried all of those things, and i still get random lagg spikes which vary per map from 230 to 680, both are considerably annoying the bejezus out of me, if anyone has any other suggestions please do tell, if not then its probably the old piece of scrapmetal that i call me computer.
