High Ping

Post by A Robo Banana »

Ever since I downloaded Project Reality the multiplayer servers have extreme lag for me and the lowest I've seen was around 200 but the co-op/singleplayer is just fine when it comes to not lagging. Also I am having an issue where after I go to the menu screen during a match or when the match ends the game crashes and there is no error message to be seen. If you can help that would be much appreciated.

High ping is because you are too far away from the server host, or because your internet connection is not fast enough. Singleplayer works fine for you because you don't require internet for playing it.

If you're internet connection is good and your speed is good (as far as you know), then try to stick to US servers (HOG or Free candy van, to name a few) and see if that helps. If you still lag really on these servers I'm guessing it's your connection or connection speed.

I was able to fix my ping by simply lowering some settings, lol. I am still having the problem of my game crashing when the server transitions to another map. Thank you for the feed back and if you could help me on my last problem that would be great.

That's a 1.2 problem that will have to be fixed in the next patch.

What lag are you referring to? I play on American servers in Los Angeles from Sweden with ~220ms without issues, except for the constant non-registration of shots fired even thou there's blood everywhere, but I think that's more of an issue with Refractor 2, but indeed the overall server/client stress could be reduced if lowered to 64 player servers.

I just had some lighting settings up too high for these servers so I lowered them and the ping decreased. Now my game runs smooth in multiplayer other than the crashing when changing maps but other than that it's awesome.
