Why Do You Always Warp When I'm About To Shoot?

[ImADot]

Not always because of cheating or cable-pulling or anything nefarious (not you Nef  )

It could simply be because:
His connection is slow.
His computer is slow.
The closer you get, the more packets are sent and need to get processed to update everyone's position accurately.
When you shoot, a huge increase in data packets is needed and the crappy connection/computer is overwhelmed.

Just sayin'

Why did you make this thread?
Maybe you wanted attention?
Maybe you wanted to be heard?
Maybe you wanted your post count to go up?
Wait, what am I doing replying to this thread?

Dangit, everything always turns around on you at some point.

he's not warping, you are.

i was on the ground the entire time, watching the fight. i saw you warp quite a few times.

Good post Dot  

I think that the coding for this game is terrific (but I am a layman).  Honestly, the mesh of different connections and gaming equipment rarely interfere with smooth gameplay.  Stutters   , micro warps   , and the occasional disconnect   are whiny topics considering how these things are brought about.  Dot explains them very concisely here.  So, the next time you encounter any of these problems, you might think of constructive comments towards the offender (on the order of: things that might help fix issues on his end).

I live in a rural area where the only available cable company will not service, and the DSL lines have not reached and won't for some time.  My only two options were Satellite and Radio Frequency (the third, dial-up is not cost effective, due to the number of lines and the at home business requirements - not to mention speed issue).  

I ditched the Satellite connection after many reports of warping   and ruining the game for someone else.  In that case the warps would land me in different positions entirely and occurred more frequently.

I stuck with the Radio Frequency RF connection which gives me a smooth connection but, constantly disconnects me after a few minutes of play.  So, bomber missions or long sortees are pretty much a thing of the past.  

Keep this in mind, that not very many folks would (if they could even) prefer a crappy connection just to gain an advantage in AH2.  In other games maybe, maybe not.

LOL. Zing.

One thing that may affect such shooting warping is whether one has "preload textures" on or off.
If the muzzle flash textures are loaded for the first time when one squeezes the trigger, there may be delay = warp. Thus a quick gun check before entering a fight or right after takeoff might also be helpful.

BUT wait, I have an old BBS account with about 2k posts on it as well.

If varied opponents warp when you are about to shoot, the problem is most likely on your end.

You need to shoot sooner, just before he warps.

yup, can also be sounds or textures overloading your CPU or GPU RAM if it happens often but only when close (ie. firing range.)

SO?????

 If a warp happens and nobody sees it does it really happen.....???

if a bear poops in the woods, but therfe's no one there when he does, did he really poop in the woods? will you step in the bears poop that may or may not be there, since no one was there to see it?

If a man says something in the woods and his wife isn't around to hear it, is he still wrong?
