Hey guys, I just wanted to complain about the server lag since the .54 update. In every server that I go into now, I can't kill others because the server is lagging, others look like they are not even looking at me and shoot and kill me, or when I'm making a base or what not I lag through the floors. All I'm asking is if there is a way to fix this and for StackedOverflow or bcoolface to look into this... Thanks a lot guys

lol

y u lol?
I'm also getting some lag

Blame server-side hit detection and cone of fire.

Yea i lagged through all the floors of parking garage 11 times in 3 mins. I'M NOT EXAGGERATING!!! SERIOUSLY!!!!
this needs to be fixed even if it means removing .54
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

See, it's not just me, it is all of the Ace-Spades players...

I like the cone, It makes snipers rage when I snipe them with the smg

.53 and .54 killed AoS for me completely. If not for the SMG, it was putting the cone of fire on the semi as well. Sever-side hit detection was the nail in the coffin.

it only did this to me when i had a bad connection but ever since .54 it does it all the time

Not to mention lag-teleporting your head into blocks, which absolutely NEVER happened to me before .54, now happens 3-4 times per game.

@EPIC, i agree... whenever my connection was bad, i would lag, but even now when i have a stable connection or better, i lag no matter what

Must be a product of this server side physics and hit verification. The more things that get moved server-side, the less reliable of a response you get on your end. I'll agree that I had more fun playing 0.52.

I can't say I had as many complaints about the client-side hits as I do with the current ones. Sure, a lagging player would get "impossible" kills and get killed "impossibly" themselves, but it wasn't like this current garbage where I can jump over a fort wall (sloppy construction to the builders... it should have been too tall to jump), look down on someone's head, shoot him five times with a rifle, and not get a kill.

I've actually had situations like that happen before, where I've got a whole magazine's worth of red particles out of a player with the rifle and they still don't die. Sometimes it's just a delay, but sometimes I can continue in that life for several minutes and I still get no kill notice for them. With the old system it was ALWAYS just a delay.

I have a related complaint as well: If you live in Australia, don't try to connect to a US server, or vice verse, or anything similar. If your ping is in the triple-digits, you should only be playing that server if you have other specific reasons to want that server in particular. If you've got a ping over 150ms and it's a war server, you shouldn't be on at all. Ever. For any reason. Don't make things suck for other players by insisting on playing with a horrible ping.

@Kaede-Chan the same thing happens to me

@Azn: I know it does. It happens to everybody. Mr. Aksoy needs to roll back to .52. Screw the SMG.

Is anyone actually willing to host an 0.52 server?

As far as I know the programming is still avaliable, so there's nothing to say that you can't host by bypassing the master server and giving the address here.

Give me that address and I WILL play...

pyspades servers don't implement server-side hit verification.

I can actually kill people in them.

That's not saying much, hompy. You're already way too good at this game.

(´･ω･`)

@hompy plus, we cant even get pyspades because the .54 version has not been released and nobody is willing to help anyone set it up

I dislike PySpades for some other reasons, though. I love the admin tools, but I can't stand the airstrikes feature. It's basically just a way for a spawncamper to add some extra power to his annoying camper ways.

@1337101 that is completely true... I believe there should be like a Respawn Invincibility timer so you cant be killed immediately as you respawn...

I don't like spawn campers but i cant talk because i spawn camp to because its just a strategy besides they have to earn it i agree with azn there should be a re spawn invisibility for like 5 secs like in most games

I spawn camp because I suck at this game. But I shouldn't be getting rewarded with overpowered airstrikes for doing it. I've gotten 3-4 in a row until somebody FINALLY killed me.

@Kaede: Only three or four? My average overall is probably around 5, and that includes times I go running around rambo-style, using cover as a disposable item.

Which is odd, since you seemed both willing and able to kill me on the occasions that we've played against each other.

Whoops, I thought the only server using airstrikes was Sham's

Anyway, building a pyspades .54 exe since we haven't found any more important bugs.

If you're a blue, I will shoot you, regardless of how much I like you on here.
:3

@hompy do you think if i came into IRC you could help me set up a pyspades server or have anyone else help me?

GL getting hompy to help u cause if it dont work the first time hes just gonna say oh well then he might try to fix it for every one but not help u anymore

@EPIC well, that is your experience with Hompy...
