If you look in F1 during an internet game it will show your ping. Similarly it will also show your ping in F6 (which always seems to be higher than your F1 ping) and also higher than the ping in the server list.....
i was just wondering - exactly - what these differences mean and why they are there. Also are there any tips on lowring your ping, especially if running a server.
This includes as much detail as you can possibly give on cheat protection etc.
so, my requests:
1. Can someone explain the ping / true ping and differences in the 3 pings to me in full please.
2. How can i lower my ping?
3. what cheat protection (and other packages ie zeroping v100, v210 etc) lag the server the most??? please explain your answer and if you could list which functions of which protection makes the worst lag (ie client scans on first entry to the server because...). I want to know which cheat protection is most effective, but also listed so that there are:
(1). least laggy - upsides and downsides
(2). bit laggy - upsides and downsides.
(3). moderately laggy and annoying - upsides and downsides
(.). .....
(.). .....
(.). .....
(N). dont go near this cheat protection!!! - downsides.
I think we should all contribute to this post and if there is enough information i will consider writing a tutorial for this site.
please help
