Laggy Players

August 1, 2008 12:19:27 PM from Sins of a Solar Empire ForumsSins of a Solar Empire Forums

Hi guys, i'm a relative noob so please bear with me...

I enjoy hosting games of SSE but am fed up with laggy players either ruining the game by lagging or leaving due to their lag. I know its not their fault, don't get me wrong, but it is getting extremely annoying.

Is there any way to filter out the players that lag so we can play a full game with no drop-outs?

Many thanks.

Since probably most of the "lag" in SINS isn't actually network-related but CPU-lag instead, I don't see how it would work to efficiently filter out those with much lower system specs than your own.


thanks,

You could always try to look at the specific players latencys, so you don't get someone with a 3000 latency, which DOES LAG IN A BOOTYFUL BUNCH. But seriosuly, if it's PC lag, because of their specs, you don,t have much of a choice but to bear it all.

I think it should be like this for all Pc games..Before installing the game the game runs a little test or what so ever to make sure u will meet the system requirments for that game. If u don't the game wont install. If U do u pass and u can install simple as that.

That is not politically correct.
