But when you are playing on a server that is located in the same country that you live in there isn't this problem. I give you an example. Everyone who knows Herty{UNi} knows that he has got ping like 90-150 regardless on what server he is playing on. Well he had ping 40 according to this calcpings method value 2 but he claimed it still felt like playing with ping 150 and I bet that he knows kinda good how it feels like playing with ping 150. So I think there is also this flaw side on all servers that use this calcpings 2, because it can cause fakepings for foreigners. And most times it does this trick.

Finally these are only speculations that I have noticed with my clan mates. And yes Catch is way better server than TnX. But you ppl (all, finns, swedes, norweigian, danish, dutch, etc.) should still concider this thing because you can really lag though the ping says something else. Think about this.

I experience the exact same lag on boomtown now when I have 20 as when I had 55 ping, so I still ain't sold on this new thing, I just think it's dumb and confusing.

So right, ive said something simular in another topic. If your netgraph looks like the atlantic ocean with waves from 5m.. still your ping is 30, another example.

that 2nd method doesn't look too good, imo. it's telling us the best thing there's been, but not what's mostly going on. i prefer the normal thing, because it doesn't "lie"

I think we need R1CH here to explain calcpings_method 2.

iler · Post by **iler** » Sat Dec 25, 2004 3:17 am

angra it's just the way I explained it. I just discussed with R1CH yesterday and he admitted that it can be inaccurate when playing on foreign servers but it's accurate when playing on local servers.

On servers where you have a lowping with method 1, you'll get a more accurate ping.. but if you have a highping your ping wont be more accurate

13:33:33 ‹R1CH› both have their advantages and disadvantages
13:33:41 ‹R1CH› calcpings 0 is the only true one

Alright. Changed sv_calcpings_method to 1.

Hope you foreigners are happy now
