You won't have to worry. My ISP has basically said they refuse to fix my internet.  :cry

You must have shot down someone you shouldn't have.

I thought udp connection does not guarantee lost packets are retransmitted but that tcp/ip does.

Location updates are udp, hit data is tcp.

If anyone has a fix for slow internet, please, for the love of god, TELL ME! My internet was ranked slower than 99.5% than the rest of America.  :cry





I didn't even know an F-- rating existed!

Slow connects are not a problem. I was on 56K dialup for 8 years before they extended broadband to my area. I recall Skuzzy telling me once that a slower connection was better for this game. This was back when cable yanking warp on demand was possible. That may have changed.
My mind is a raging torrent, flooded with rivulets of thought cascading into a waterfall of creative alternatives.

So when I'm gunning in a bomber can the all the shot packets show up all at once because the enemy always sit dead six with me shoot and them not taking any damage and then my plane and my drones go down....If someone would tell me how to upload video I would show you what I mean....

Obviously without the video, can't say for certain, but that is pretty much exactly how it works when there's a hiccup.  Your plane is fine, then all the damage packets arrive at once and your plane is in horrible horrible condition.  It feels a lot of the time like a one ping kill, when it's actually a bunch of pings all being displayed to you at once.

I have a 0.32Mb/s (averaged) internet speed an my ping jumps around anywhere from 400-850. Does that count as having slow AND bad internet?  :(

I have fought you dozens of times and I have never seen you warp.

Me being on Dial I have gone back and looked at a film where I was lighting the guy up and when I asked him did I hit you he said no . The film showed I was shooting behind him but when I was pulling the trigger it was lighting him up like a firecracker . Figure that out ?
