Atlanta server

Sould turn the Atlanta server in a regular insta gib server. Might actually push Euro players to play there too and make it busy,

Atlanta server

Ooper

London 2 has the same horrible lag and broken grapple, with ~ 25 ping F6. And you can't change hitsounds like in any other version of newnet, says admin has disabled hitsound changes.

Thanks for the extra feedback. If you get a chance can you try the Combo DM New York server? That one is running an older version of the same newnet and I would like to narrow down when the lag/grapple issue might have arisen, if it wasn't always present.

I had problems with the hitsounds long ago and probably set it to force them IIRC. I think the problem I had long ago with them has been fixed now (at least I remember things regarding hitsounds in the chagelog) so when I figure out whether I should revert to an old version, update to a new version, or abandon altogether I will change this hitsounds setting for you. You prefer the bong sound instead of the stinger?

Nicefu

Can we change to this sound ? 😆

It's still the same on the NY server, I can't test against TimTim's newnet as the server doesn't exist anymore.

The movement is ok(same as other servers, but not as good as "oldnet" 469), but as soon as you use grapple you shake and it makes it feel like you have packet loss.

Thanks for the extra testing and the more precise description of the issue. I have always noticed this too when grappling but the jerkiness seems to coincide with the notch reeling sound of the grapple. I have actually tested this by grappling and then bouncing a long way to see if I get that same jerky behavior at the faster speed but it seems to only happen for me while the grapple is attached.

Not sure if the grapple was intended to be that way or not but I never noticed it on the old UK combo server nor do I notice it on a regular non-newnet server.

You must be stoned Atlanta and New York lag free for me only problem with Atlanta server is people go London because people are always there even Americans. I say keep Atlanta the way it is or get rid of it and save some money I wouldn't put some mod no one will play on there.

Ooper

Are you by any chance playing at 60hz jerc?

i had problems with grapple on london2 , so i went to spec , because i couldn't release, and started to shake. Atlanta i still
have to test.

ESUOH

ESUOH i don't think everybody has this problem on london2 because they seem to play normal and the most could use grapple in the correct way (i think)

Grapple feels the same for me regardless of what netcode the server uses zp fnn nn. The zp servers always strike me as a clear disadvantage because of ping. On the other hand, nn server seems to balance things out between low and high ping players. This comes from a guy who plays in a laptop at 50-60 fps in london server 250 ping and atlanta 150 ping. They both have their good things.

For the shaking we are talking about, it's unlikely you will feel/see a difference with playing conditions like that.

ESUOH

The other day it went better , 'less stuttering and i could release but the server was empty' but if you can't release you can't play at the fullest and use grapple.

jerc

grapple is always gonna be shit at those pings I'm surprised you can bounce so consistently Atlanta where i have a 30 ping i can do laps around the map but on either London where i get 90 ping i can usually only get 2 or 3.

Ooper

It could also be the higher tick rate that the usa server has making it easier to bounce(don't really know if it helps or not), I think they are 65 and London is 40/45.

DO IT! but make it low grav too. I live in Atlanta and grew up playing on the {ESF} 155/55 Low Grav Instagib server that was in Atlanta too

Clizown

please god do regular instagib. id like to see how some of the spawn kill noobs do in that.

snowguy

I am considering several new servers but first I must catch up on lots of tasks I have fallen behind on.

I doubt an Insta server in the USA will do well as there has been a duplicate UK Insta server there for years when the Europe UK Insta server was crowded daily. Occasionally, there were a few players on the USA one but I never saw it busy like the Europe one.

Low grav insta might be something worth trying though. Still not sure how it would do in the USA but could be worth a shot I guess.

jerc

Insta is dead long live combogib. Keep insta and the insta bums in the uk.

jerc ye combogib prevails!!
