Scourge of War Boards

Well we had someone calling it regardless (someone who usually qualifies for your statement, in fact), I don't know how "form" comes into the picture. I mean, I have pretty bad posture, but spending lots of time at the computer will do that to you.

Those who had time for one game were thusly freed of another 30-40 minutes of trash time in the game, free to live their lives! You know, eat actual food, pay attention to their families, et cetera.

Hi Norb:

As I mentioned above, the person i play with most often has a slower computer than I do, but his game runs smoothy while mine is lagging. One thing I came to find out was that his upload speed is a about 8x faster than mine. Could a 60kb/sec upload cause me to see lag when i host? My download is 30mbit and ping is generally around 15ms.

We've seen instances of it and it's something that I need to make better. But your computer is constantly waiting for his, while his is running smooth and as fast as possible for him. So if your computer is super fast, he is playing catch while you are waiting. I am not positive, but hearing what you are describing, that is what it sounds like. In our playing we see it a lot, if one of the guys with the slower computer joins, it slows the game for everyone.

There are probably strategies that I can take to make this better, mp is hard to code, but I will keep trying to improve the experience.

Several of us have hosted trials for Bull and it seems that it is just the adjustment from SP speed to MPspeed that has him thinking its a problem. Hopefully today/tonight Bull will join us for a full session and maybe clear it up for him.
