I've had a consistent issue with my ISP forever, in which I have exorbitant packet loss periodically.

 

When that happens while playing a game, it means I teleport everywhere - even while repairing. (It really really really sucks.)

 

However, when I play other games, CS in particular, and this happens, my in game ping displays anything between 150 and 400. This doesn't happen in Hawken except the most extreme cases, which usually result in me being dropped from the game entirely. The result of this, coupled with the new MMR spread, is a million billion trillion "I call hax" accusations.

 

Then I'm all "Well, my ISP does this stupid thing-" and they're all "but ur pin luks fine" and I'm all :no:

 

So I'd just like to sort of raise awareness of the issue that is inaccurate ping readings within Hawken, and ask why this is, especially considering no other games seem to have an issue pointing out how hard my ISP sucks sometimes.

I've never noticed a correlation between my ping and teleporting. Ping and hit reg yes, but if I'm teleporting there's usually no indicator as to why.

At least for me when teleporting I only see it in a constant change of ping. The absolute number is irrelevant - it's the delta over time...

I have had some weird stuff happen that wasn't happening before. I have noticed teleporting in NA servers a lot more often than it was before. I myself have joined a few games only to find out I have been given teleport blessings for pretty much the entire time I spend in the server. For me it might be a server side thing because some are fine while others are not.

Or, hax.

hey tickle, check your loss/choke in cs, your indicated latency spiking like it was last night could be a symptom of other factors

in console use these

net_graph 1

net_graph 2

net_graph 3

What other factors? Tried it, got loss of 24% and a varying level of choke. Granted I'm actually surprised. Right now is usually optimal time to avoid this sort of stuff.

Seems some of the servers have been acting funny throughout the day. (Ashburn) 

 

tickle, I was in that match with you when you were having the trouble. The game froze up for me just before it ended and I had to exit, causing me to lose all credits I earned, so I realize people were have legit issues today.

 

Other people were complaining about lag issues consistently. All this was happening in the Ashburn servers where I played for most of the day and evening.

Yuck. That's completely unacceptable. Are you running default rates?

Use the net graph to monitor your connect while you adjust your rates

That kind of rubber-banding can usually be more attributed to packet loss.  The info between the game server and your machine are missing chunks of important information, so it keeps "catching up" when corrected data finally makes it through.

 

If you feel it happens to you more frequently than others, I'd suggest that there is a bad physical connection or failing cable somewhere along the line for you.  Contact the ISP and be relentless about getting some technicians to be thorough and find it - it usually only takes two guys a few hours to start at both ends and keep working their way towards each other until the problem is located.  If you've already exhausted that option and your current ISP is your only choice - "stay tuff brother".


To be serious for a moment this is just a joke
