CoD and CoD:UO pings doubled

[Rabanah]

All,

I have a game center with a T1 line and about 16 computers. Last week we installed CoD:UO on our machines and have noticed a major increase in ping times. I don't know if it is related to the install, but it is strange.

Let me explain further. When I am in the game and connect to a server online with the IP Address of 64.182.65.95 (NOTE: this is not really a server but an example) my ping time to that server is between 100 to 200. When I excite the game and ping the same IP Adress 64.182.65.95 from a cmd prompt my ping is 32ms consistently.

I am ran tracert from my computer to the same IP Address and I have no problems anyware.

The problem is only when I am in game, either CoD and CoD:UO, that I get very high pings.

Also just a thought:

I have heard a rumor that Punkbuster doesn't know how to handle the new UO expansion, but have not been able to confirm this.

Any information that anyone can provide would be great.

Thanks,

Rabanah

There are some issues with UO.
One yes is a PB lag issues, but that can be fixed on the server side.
Also a lot of lag in coming from the tanks and jeeps.
This all should be fixed when the new patch comes out.
I have also noticed better game play on Linuc servers now that they have a stable patch too.
But till the new patch comes out we will jsut have to put up with the lag!
Later

Thanks for the update. I thought it would be something like that. Will you please send me a link to where you got your information. I would just like to read up on the problem a bit more.

Thanks again,

Just a suggestion after I did notice the same thing. I brought down my console and typed

\com_maxfps 0

Mine went down 20 . this may not be a quick fix for all people, but worth a shot. Also be careful, some server admins have a pb check for this cvar. You may want to try

\com_maxfps 499

If you get kicked from a server.
