For me, hopping is ok so far. Is it annoying? Depending on your state of mind, yes xD. When you're completely tired, hanging around in your armchair and drooling, for example . But when you're really into the game, I find it good to fight, trains reaction and aim and promotes cognitive characteristics.

Ye
arsch aimbot!!!

Ooper This “you could” sounds very reproachful, as if I only ever play on frags and shooting series. Which is absolute nonsense. I have my caps, my grabs, my assists. I don't just sit in a corner somewhere at the back of the base and don't stand in the same position for an entire map. Which some others do on a daily basis. I really like playing in midfield and very often give very good multicover frags. That's my favorite position. I think I can always support my team well just by being a backup. That sometimes results in a few frags, especially if you don't have the best players in the team. We've seen how the games turn out in the short term if I just go to the flag continuously. Then we all set new records together on the server for how quickly a map is over. Especially when there are other good aimers on the server in the opposing team. Most of the time, if not always, I keep a very low profile on the server except for the odd sentence in between, because I just want to play in peace. I also have games where nothing works and I get hit hard on the map . Have you ever seen me insult others in the worst way or want to kick them? I don't think so. Because I know that it's just me. Then I either take a break or accept it and try to get better. I understand the frustration. I feel it. Because I went through it all back then too and I certainly used to swear more as a young guy, I won't deny that . But for one, it never crossed a line and I never wanted anyone to get kicked and/or banned just because they played better or scored better. Quite the opposite, because despite the immense frustration, it was always a huge motivation for me and everyone else back then to get better. Will there always be players who never get better despite everything? Yes, definitely. Are there people who will never develop a gamesense? Yes, that will also be the case. But these are also often people who don't recognize the difference between 60Hz and 240Hz. These are also people who will never notice an input lag. These are also people who say that 60 FPS is totally fluid. That's all ok and I have a few of them in my circle of friends. Nevertheless, they like to play with me and against me. No matter whether it's CS, CoD, Valo, Quake, UT or whatever else. So now I've typed enough, but I wish you a nice rest of the week and hope to see you on the server again

I take it with humor, there's no other way. However, I also start to lose my composure from time to time, as I realize myself. You can forgive me if you spend the whole evening or night playing exclusively in the Looser Team and lose every map 0-7 1-7 or 2-7 on average. Especially when you're playing with players who have a maximum of 30 or 40 kills after 20 minutes of play. Even I can no longer compete with that. If, despite having a clearly losing team, you're also basically one less player in the team, then my patience has finally run out. It's been like this for many evenings and nights now. I have no idea how the other good players all manage to play together in a team and not get swapped. Especially that we are always one less in the loser team. It's madness. I've caught myself spamming “teams” a few times recently. Sorry for that, but at some point it was enough.

forsezor I would like to quote this once again. "Whenever I stop playing DM on maps like FragWhore we're just starting to lose instantly because no one of my team can't kill nobody and people are just capturing our flags"

That is a very important point. We, the players who often make a lot of frags, are usually put in a team with the players who aren't as good and/or don't score as well. That's completely legitimate and I like playing in the losing team. But then we come to an important point. If we stopped playing the way we were playing, then every map would be over in 2 minutes at the latest because the opponent would simply take one flag after the other from our base. Example a few days ago on CTF-Whoot. After a certain amount of time on the map, I think I had 90 frags and the next person in the team had 10 or 11. As I said, I don't mind that and it's completely ok. However, I then have no other option than to try to counter-quest and yet it was already 3:0 for the opponent. Dming sounds bad at first. However, it's a necessary evil to at least try to keep even the most hopeless games in balance. Sometimes you can do it if the opponent only wins 1:0, 2:0 or 3:0, for example, and we can at least play the respective map for longer. Sometimes you still get 7 flags in a few minutes and sometimes it's a really exciting, even match. However, I keep noticing that one or the other is always trying to influence the team balance, but that's another topic. Don't forget it's an arena shooter, or do we want to turn Fragwhore into a dance floor in the future and dance at each other accompanied by flags ? Looking forward to the next games! And it would also be super nice if everyone on the server was a bit friendlier to each other!

drunken_fool An international soccer match isn't stopped because one of the two teams is playing full defense, is it? I can understand your frustration and believe me, we also had a lot of frustration back then and we had to learn to deal with it. Each team or player decides for themselves what is and isn't an acceptable style of play. Personally, I think that it's the different players and their different playing styles that make this server so charming. Of course, many still need to work on their behavior and choice of words . Nevertheless, I think that's why the server is still the last very active one, because everything is as it is. Do not touch a running system. The only thing that could perhaps be fine-tuned would be the team balancer. Just learn to raise your frustration level significantly. Whether we think it's an acceptable style of play or not doesn't matter. Keep calm and find a way to beat him. Hope to see you on the server again, then maybe I can help you raise your frustration level a bit . Best regards!

UDP was the key word. Then I immediately remembered openvpn, which offers both protocols, TCP and UDP. I quickly downloaded openvpn and bluntly threw in a freely accessible server via UDP connection and lo and behold 0% packet loss!

Of course, there is no need to talk about the ping and the remaining quality of the connection It's not that great, but you can still take your time looking for a good server. In any case, the fact is that the ACE check now also works perfectly via UDP and you only have very very few 2-3% to 0% packet losses. I think it would also be worth testing for everyone else.

All you need:

1.) The OpenVpn Client https://openvpn.net/community-downloads/

2.) Search at google: free openvpn server

As I said, I just clicked on the first best link in the search and created a config for server access and it worked. Good luck to the rest

Hi aLL,

After the last thread about server lags, I took a closer look at the topic of packet loss, especially in relation to connections to foreign servers on the part of Telekom. To cut a long story short, it is simply due to Telekom and their non-compliance with our applicable laws, especially regarding net neutrality. I don't need to try to play on the server before midnight, because the packet losses are simply unplayable. After midnight all is well and everything is at 0% packet loss and I can enjoy playing. The only way to play before prime time is to have a VPN connection. This also works wonderfully for a short time. Unfortunately, I am kicked after about 1-2 minutes, with the message: You have been kicked because of a timeout during the ACE checks. Yes I can set Split Tunnel, but unfortunately I see it so far that I can only add the whole game so the UnrealTournament.exe to the exception. Unfortunately, then at the time mentioned the packet loss is of course directly there again. Is there any other way to add only the Acev12e to the exception? Maybe you have a tip for me @snowguy ?

Thanks

At the moment server is very very laggy

PepsiCola idd. yesterday the lags were back... a bit lower as aspected (5-13%) but still very noticeable.

Hi again,

at this moment everything runs perfect!

Good evening everyone,

yesterday 1-2 hours after our posts, the packet loss settled down a little again was in the low single digits 2-3%. Tonight it was unfortunately again completely shot up, 13% average peak 28%. By the way, my network is a professional network consisting entirely of Cisco switches. My ping to the router is well under 1ms stable. Now and then it can come in rare cases times to 2ms. It's very noticeable in the game where bullets and shots are simply swallowed up by the server in nothing. The only other problem besides the server itself would be the routing on the part of the provider. However, I had a check up done this afternoon. Everything is in order and green light. I think that the problem lies more with the server itself.

Thanks and greetings

Good evening everyone,

good that I found this thread, I thought I would be the only one who perceives these enormous lags. I can only agree with the statements of all previous players. At the moment, the average packet loss is between 18 and 28%. You can play better with a ping of 200 so also only one percent packet loss :>. Would be nice if the admin once could look at the whole. Thnx

Ooper Oh sorry, I only saw your text after my post. Nice that someone mentions the name enraged_newb. I've been around for a long time now (online gaming etc.) and I've been through all the insults, but personally I find the enraged_newb very extreme and don't you think so? Especially in terms of durability and intensity, I find that very questionable.

don't think he cheated. Sometimes he'll get some really good sideways kills in the middle of a move. Looks more like his playstyle to me. Yes, such movements, including shots, are difficult to counter, so the feeling can arise here and there. But rather think that it is a trained behavior of himself. You can clearly see his good and bad phases and maps just like me ^^

the_cowboy everything OK. I'm calmed down :>. When it comes to accuracy, it's always hard to gauge. A small example. We had a defender on our team with an 82% end-of-season accuracy rate. There were also always admins in the Spectator on the server who watched and checked him again and again and it turned out again and again that everything was clean. Of course, these statistics were only recorded for the entire league games. So I think it's always very difficult to judge based on statistics. I think I would notice if someone cheated. So far I haven't even had that feeling on the server.

Ooper OK everything good. only seemed that way because he started writing triggerbot on the server yesterday

the_cowboy Dude chill pls, I am a former competitive player. Among other things, I played for the German national team in the Clanbase Nations Cup. We became world champions twice in UT2003 and UT2004. I dont cheat! So chill pls.
