Hey, I just want to ask about the way the Servers are going to be hosted for Project Stealth, like in Chaos Theory, Distance really makes difference on how high the ping will be. For example, my Friend is in USA and I am in UK. I only get 180 Ping. If someone is hosting from Sweden I get considerably less Ping.
Is Project Stealth going to have that type of Hosting? or will it be like for example in Battlefield: Bad Company 2? Where distance does not matter, because no matter how far away you never get a huge ping unless your net is really junky.
Thanks.
Ping always corresponds to distance and the number and quality of intermittent routers/switches. There's no way you can ping less than 125ms to a server in the USA from the UK. Look up the speed of electrons and the distance from the UK to the USA (don't forget to double that for the way back) and then do the division.
frvge break the laws of physics to let my data transfer instantly plz
I'll create a wormhole through space-time and Planck fabric for you.
i believe in you man

Mostly true, however please tell me, how is it possible then for me to have a ping of about 60 in UT3 to East coast (USA) servers? (Not always, but there are times when the ping won't go over 80)
From Poland to the USA, the theoretical minimum time is about 70 ms for a round-trip. However, the latency with routers/switches etc and the 'window' of the TCP/IP connection isn't applied yet. Things like packetloss and out-of-order packets and misshaped packets neither.
So if you have about 80 ping to the USA, you're lucky.
Hehehe. Do I win an internet or what?
A color microwave oven. Two internets if you win the final bonus round.
Thanks for replying, just last question:
Will PS Latency/Ping/Distance Lag will be more stable than in CT? or Same?
Probably a bit better. I can't change the actual ping (unless the various continents move close to eachother), but I think Ubi messed up some things, which made it slow in the progress.

Since when has Ubi ever messed anything up? :D
I know seriously the SCDA was the best!....

Yeah THE SCDA
The as in THEE
It might as well be called Sacred Combustible Death Awesome and I know it makes no sense but trust me, it does. Go ahead and make it your screen name now.
Do you guys plan on using bars or ping numbers to represent connection levels? I prefer numbers myself.
What about colored numbers?
Oh and now thet we're onto colours, can we get a system similar to quake's color codes to put in names, binds and such?

Meh.
Aww cmon, it's not like it's hard to do, just add a colour property to the text that changes depending on the tags found.
Since we are going off topic, when are we going to get a new poll on the front page? I think that Few Updates and Many Texts stays the same for 2 weeks now :)

Correct. I'm going to change that part to the Twitter feed when I get back from holiday. It's hard to come up with good poll questions btw.
Community is here to help you with that )

Yes.
Poll Question:
Which type of objective do you enjoy the most?
Computer
Bomb
Disk
I think I proposed this awhile ago...
That poll won't help the Project Stealth game be better, I think these polls that are made by FRVGE are actually polls that will be accepted into the gameplay?
