OK…

so my brother has just started playing et on his computer…

every now and then we have a bit of lag.. i think its from our internet
(which is i think 1.5mb/s or something like that.. (156kb/s dl)

because 2 computers running et are there any recommended settings?

ive read about this ages ago but cant remember

i know these 2 commands

/net_port (default is 27960)

/net_restart

/net_port i change to “27961” so we can both connect on same server
then i do /net_restart to restart it.

but my questions is, is there any other recommended settings for better game play ?

cheers,

nico 😀

You can try lowering the rate to 25000 instead of 5000
So type /rate 25000 in console
Good Luck

gee nic’s /rate only 2500? Wayyyyy too low.. try 30000 or 25000 at the very least ;P. Honestly I know crap all about settings like that… You should be asking Mess / Skank when they are online.

It is VERY rare if ever for an ISP to lag….. 99.9% of lag is due to the PCs on your Internet.
It might be the obvious stuff like you or flatmate downloading, on YouTube or whatever….

If not the obvious then it is more likely (a) background programs like those in your taskbar or (b) trojans/viruses
You would be surprised the number of innocent programs running in your taskbar that constantly access the Internet.

Alot of players when gaming online close all programs so their net doesn’t get interfered with… Some use this program “End It All”

Standard ADSL broadband can easily handle two players on ET at same time, regular settings (rate 25000, cl_maxpackets 100, snaps 20)

Me and my brother play on OZ all the time together, we didn’t do any of this settings stuff :S

As long as you have 2 different installs, and 2 different ETkey’s you should be fine.

If you wanted to be my friend you wouldnt say i have pooey pants

Thats what you Westies get for carrying the economy into a third interest rate rise in consecutive months.
Whilst the rest of us Aussies cry about our mortgages you bastards can cry about your third rate internets 😀

Now where are those scientists at so I can yell at them too!!!

Your an inbecile full stop.
