Since these connections to the server are UDP, there is no reply at least on the network level. I'm not sure source even acks it got certain packets but instead of just transmits the location of everyone to the clients at it's specified tickrate. Your client figures out loss when your location isn't transmitted back to you properly. That's why you get warping with bad connection people, they don't send all their location packets on time. -----Original message----- From: "]FUSION[ Gray Death" [EMAIL PROTECTED] Date: Mon, 22 May 2006 09:18:25 -0400 To: [email protected] Subject: [hlds] Packet acknowledgment
