Ping issue

NotTrooson

I know this game already has noticable desync even if both players have 30 ping which makes high ping players very problematic. I dont have connection with optic fibers, 1 ms and symmetrical 1Gb per second etc but its decent but then when someone joins with 150 ping and he starts shooting me through walls and I obviosly do desync him too. It basicly ruins any point of even having good connection for the game.
Everyone who plays first person shooters knows this is problem or even actual COD, CSGO,… servers do kick people who constantly have high ping
Therefore there should be at atleast 180 ping limit not mentioning that 150 ping is already insane for pvp I get it that you want more people to play but then for them there are NA servers (im not sure if freezzer still has them). That way or another letting people actually straight up lag switching and port around is ignorance from the head of the server from my point of view. Im sorry for any offense.

Maybe I wasn’t clear enough in the past, so let me explain it again: Sometimes every player gets a high ping at the same time. This would result in everyone getting dc’ed and we had this problem in the past. The only thing I can do about it is to create another plugin which somehow calculates those spikes and only kicks those players that have a continuous high ping. So maybe you should try to understand what the actual problem is rather than saying nonsense like “ignorance from the head of the server”.

“Sometimes” so he can basicly just join back and play again

Simon

By “sometimes” I am talking about a 15-30 minute time frame and people do not simply join back. Roughly 30% of players won’t bother to join back so that’s not an option.

Well I think thats kind of exaggeration but sure. I dont get these spikes on ADSL (old landline) which is nothing special but sure I understand many people have wireless connection and I respect that this sacrifice isnt really worth it for you and it seems like there is noone to back me up when action is being taken and they prefer to just complain about it so yea… It would still be nice if you kept it in mind.

I still can not stress this enough and I think you should atleast manually kick people when one being reported as frequently porting around etc. So that when one being reported there isnt “High ping isnt against the rules therefore we cannot punish him” issue which may be actually enough.

Perfect example:

Simon

I’ve already made a few tests and as I said earlier, I might be able to create a plugin for that purpose but that’s another thing on my endless to-do list.
What ping range are we talking about in your specific case in this video?

Simon He had 160 ping when I was checking by /ping “name”

Simon

I’ve added a plugin to detect high ping spikes and it’ll then kick you based on that. So far a few players have experienced this with unstable ping so it might work.
