Too much delay on password servers

by Donald Massey · in General Game Discussion · 09/28/2004 (6:29 am) · 6 replies

It's all most unplayable for me on the "slacker" servers as it keeps on freezing , is there any chance of using one of the others?

Anyone else having troubles with the Course Pack servers?

Although I'm not having the troubles Don is having, I have noticed that the ping time is usually a bit higher on those servers... perhaps by 50 - 100 milliseconds.

I'm having that issue on a small scale but since I've noticed the ping is higher as well, it's likely attributable to that. I just came on GG to post something about this. Are the coursepack servers in a different location from the regular servers? They are consistently high-ping compared to the others. Any chance of mixing them up?

BTW, what happened to the continuous mode server that was just starting when they all went down?

The continuous mode server was wingman's own system. My guess would be that if it is an official part of O3, they'll probably dedicate a server to it. I thought it was cool as well. Nice for when you simply want to play a few games when you have little time. :-)

The course pack server is at a different location than the regular servers - it sounds like we should mix them up at some point.

The continous server is part of O3 and will be up from time to time for testing as we finish up the new version.

By all means, please mix a couple up... others have commented in game as well that the course pack servers can be slower. I seem to have more crashes when there as well.... just as a level (custom ones so far) is loaded, the game will crash on me. It will usually happen at least once each day when I'm on the course pack server.
