No, AFAIK theres no setting that affects ordenance count. Sorry.


But dont let that opinion stop you from searching in the Settings and messing around with them. Maybe you find a way? You can always go back to default by hitting said button.




PS: Have you ever seen a bright green sun in a pink sky, shaded by some lovely turquoise fog in the far distance?? :D

I'd have a better chance in running into a Dodo Bird in the middle of rush hour, walking down the I-5 with two hookers in tow before I see a useful post from glock89- Ack-Ack

As far as lag, I would say it is impossible that everyone that kills me from d600 or more has a laggy connection.  

Ping time is very important in getting an idea of the speed that your messages reach the Host.  However, there are some things you cant see.  For example, if Nagling (TCP_NODELAY) is on and TCP Delayed acks timer is set to some big value (lets say 100ms) at the Host, you could see round trip times of up to 150ms or more with a ping of 30ms.
I'd say Nagling is probably on to allow for the slow modem connections to be more efficient but given the constant output of the Host, I dont think TCP delaied acks are plaing a role here (could be wrong though).
I guess what I am saing is that even though you are right and the ping times are not always representative of the comunications speed, in this case I think they are very close.  I would think that HT has designed this in the most efficient way so people can play over modems or long distances.


Except AH use UDP.

Btw if I remember well nagling purpose is to reduce bandwith overhead by concatenating small message and so use les TCP packet.

Help me Skuzzy ! I'm not sure of what I wrote :)

True on both statements.  The problem with nagling is that you have to wait in order to concatenate.  The time of the wait is determined by when the ack on a packet comes back to you.

I think HT is using UDP from the host to your FE.  However, they may be using TCP from the FE to the Host (that could explain a few things).

OK, yas lost me there. Both. And its NOT due to new drugs Bunny...... im a Vet, not an Internet specialist!!! :)



I always chalked that difference in position up to "lag". From my POV its the same effect as CVs being in different positions for different FEs?




(I probably just prooved my complete ignorance)



See yas Saturday Bunny :t.

I dont think I said anything different.  I was just trying to explain what may be causing it and why lag could be larger than your ping times.
