punkbuster is primarily for ladder and league matches but it's side effect on public servers has been good too. it won't remove the cheats, but reduce them. I went 29-4 yesterday, one of my better days, on a pB server, and never once got called a hack or a cheater. I got "Well done"s and "Way to go ...

This is very odd. My roomate is using a separate IP from my own, and his traceroute uses the same path, and he only hops to 90ms. He's on win98 I'm on win2K if that makes a difference.

Everything's ok right now, but i can't guarantee that it'll stay that way forever. I wish it would though. Thanks ...

swapped IP's on two machines. whichever machine is hosting the main IP of the house does not spike at hop 11. the other purchased IP's do however.

Just for the record, we diagnosed that the connection from any computer to the router is perfect. the connection from any machine to the cable modem is perfect. the connection from any computer to the modem's gateway flickers repeatedly. This would be an @home problem, would it not?

BlackLoti

Well, about to try the static IP thingy.

the situation is confused a little due to the following:

The house is 200-300yards from the road, and not wired for cable (due to having satellite tv all these years). So they ran a drop to the barn (100 yards max) from the poll on the road. From there ...

BlackLoti

Well, i've searched thru the old speedguide posts but haven't been able to come up with an answer of why the following happens.

Setup:
Cable modem comes in from the poll. From there it hits the 1port LInksys Router. from there it goes into a 5port hub. in that hub we have 2 machines hooked up. a ...

The dedicated servers crash anyway after a few hours of use. Crappy SOF coding. Waste of time to try to run one. They say it's "fixed" for v1.07, but it won't be out for a while.

BlackLoti

nononon with a prophet if you have enough ram and plenty of tweak time, get the loki patch that allows for s3tc compression of the 2nd UT disc's textures! it's unbelievable. openGL runs UT a million times better than d3d with this patch.

BlackLoti

check this one. 20mins, not 66.

i see you were playing on CyberSeals T3. man that server flies. he's quite good too.

BlackLoti

the new town upgrade has me pinned at <10ms to my gateway every time.

BlackLoti

I'll gladly keep this 128kbps cap if it means i sustain what i did this morning! 480KB/s!! up from 200KB/s i used to have. wow.

i didn't pay my bill in time, and @home put me on "non-pay disconnect"...i got back online today to find speeds over 400. wow.

thanks btw.

BlackLoti

state college pa. again.

upload cap of 128kbps just put up this morning. grrrrrr.

i have 3 ip's on my account. do ALL of them have 15KB/s or just the total modem upload speed? if it's 15KB/s for EACH IP that is good. if it's 15KB/s for the whole modem, that sucks.

BlackLoti

hey, thanks a lot. i just ordered a stick. i figured i didn't need ECC or anything too spectacular. just some more beef for the system.

thanks again.

BlackLoti

With prices so low i have a few questions:
1.)What's the difference between buffered and unbuffered RAM?

2.)What's the difference between ECC and non-ECC?

3.)I'm running generic pc100 ram at 112Mhz at CAS2 rather than CAS3. I have my celeron566 @ 953Mhz right now, and i need new ram that will ...

BlackLoti

the newest PCGamer just had a ton of info on upcoming MassiveMultiplayers...unforuntately all have online fees and the trend is that that will continue for quite some time.

i dont' want to pay to play!!! i buy the game, i buy my computer, i buy my internet, the gaming should be FREE!

BlackLoti

Thanks a bunch psy.

Just looking for answers. The node, as far as i was told, has 80 or so people on it, it's the UBR2 (i think??) router which is on the fritz cuz of congestion. tho i'm no techie, i don't know this for sure...however from what i've seen, downtown is a waste of time, outskirts are ...

BlackLoti

Well in october i thought the problem was only me, until i called up a bunch of friends and found out all of state college is having difficulty. they rolled a truck and my signal strengths were smack dab in the middle of acceptable ranges. new development, all new wiring etc etc put in less than 5 ...

BlackLoti

btw, how do i go about knowing i'm talking to LOCAL at&t@home people? calling tech support will give me Colorado, won't it? they'll ping the system saying "yer up, good enuff". how do i get in touch with LOCAL at&t@home guys to fix the problem in town??

BlackLoti

unless of course the upload is capped. if that cap is being hit, all games will slowdown and lag.

BlackLoti

here's the deal. it's state college, pa. they JUST FINISHED UPGRADING. peopel were offline 75% of the day due to overcrowding of the router in town. well, now it's stable, so i guess all is done and good. they refunded everyone's october bill, and all is well now , supposedly. everyone already ...

BlackLoti

no, really??? grrrrrrrrr makes me so frustrated. all i want is to game again. 6 months ago i could do that, with 80 pings. now they're 800.

BlackLoti

Ongoing problem in state college, pa.

in town service sucks. 12 miles away things are perfect.

ping 14ms to my gateway outside of time. in town, 350ms.

ping 65ms to the SOF servers outside of town, in town these are the results:

BlackLoti

winME here. everything's perfect. same speeds as win98, from 50KB/s to 300KB/s or so, everything that the cable in the area has always given me , with or without patches.

no problems.

hey, DBLDuce,

you say everything is fine in your State College area? well, i'm in state college too. Right now, they don't disconnect me anymore, but from around 1pm to 1am my pings in Soldier of Fortune go from 70 up to 900. my lowest pings during peak times are 500ms. They haven't "fixed ...

I got the same thing yesterday.

BlackLoti

thanks for the thoughts.....however, the problem is @home's in the area. check yer @home OUtages page, it states that STate College is having intermittancy and will not roll trucks anymore for the problem. They're working on it here. People don't lose sync, they just dont' have a gateway for a ...

BlackLoti

well, we pay for the extra computers. the extra IP's are $4.95/month and it makes things really easy and cheaper than buying a router.

have the @home modem plugged into the uplink on the 5port hub, then 3 machines , each with an IP set up on DHCP. works perfectly.

machines see each other on the ...

GO HERE. scroll down to Pennsylvania/State College.

BlackLoti

no it's the same problem .my lights are steady as well, tho sometimes wheni check the log, i HAVE lost sync.

i just lost gateway, therefore i have nothing at all.

BlackLoti

the loss of sync is due to the overloading of the local routers. they can't handle the traffic and disconnect people for short times to allow the traffic of those online to get through. there's nothing we can do about it.

static or dynamic, NO DATA can go from your modem through to the internet in ...

BlackLoti

nope. it's them downtown. i did everything you stated before. you can't release and renew yer ip cuz you dont' have a gateway to recontact the DHCP server. you set up statically, you dnot' get anything when it's down.

it's the head end. not us. was down for 30 mins tonight. but it's friday, peopel ...

BlackLoti

Well, get one of those 500 free aol hours discs heh. that's all i can suggest. but DEMAND yer money refunded for this month. they'll probably grant it.

sorry man. i'm having just as much anger as you are.
