Hi,
I remeber Frazer recommending compressing the maps in Bz2 format for
faster downloading but I can't find any information on how to do that.
Anyone?
Also is anyone running HLStatsX and HL2MP?
Thanks,

Problem with satellite connections is latency of them. Most satellite
providers when you request a webpage (for example) download the entire
page to their servers and then send it to you in one big chunk. It would
be like USPS giving you a bigger mail box but only sending your mail
every 2 days. For most people, that works great but when your waiting
for something right now (like game packet since all the data in there is
time specific) it really stinks. I doubt your gong to be able to pull it
off even with messing with rates but it doesn't hurt to try.

What type of Internet do you have now and who's your provider.
I have heard the same thing about satellite Internet, it just cant
push a
constant steam of packets enough in order to hold the connection for
online
gaming.
But ill do some research and see if I can't find out if theres a way
to get
it done.
I have a 26 slot DOD server in LA ca. You can try to connect to it and
maybe theres other things we can do to get your pings down to were
you can
at least play a little.
Try setting your rates in your config.cfg to the following.
Rate 3000 to 5000 you may want to try lower like around 2500. I'm
not sure
how low you can go.
Cl_updaterate 10 or 20 don't go any lower then 10.
Cl_cmdrate 10 to 20 don't go any lower then 10.
Also you might want to disable all of the other things that lower FPS
too
just incase you are able to connect and play some.
Heres my servers IP address 64.69.32.190:27015 www.ethugsrus.net
Good luck I know it sucks not to be able to play such an awesome game.
I been addicted for 6 years.

Subject: [hlds] Is it possible to play day of defeat on a satellite
connection?
I've heard first person shooters weren't "doable" on satellite
internet due
to latency but I've also seen some claim that it can be done. I've
moved
out in the "boondocks" and was pretty much resigned to no dod or any
other
games, however every once and a while I really get the urge to play.
What a
great game! The server screen indicates pings of 500 plus and I usually
can't even log on to a server. Presumably they have the pings
requirements
set lower. I'm wondering if there is anything I can do about this or if
there is anyone who has a list of servers with less stringent ping
requirements. Every once and a while I just really get the urge to
play.
Are there tweaks I could use to reduce my ping time or am I pretty much
stuck at about 6 seconds of delay for the uplink? I'd even settle for
spectating a game every once and a while if I can't play but I can't
seem to
even get on to a server at all. The "nuclear fallout.net" servers
seem to
all kick me or rather not let me on. I'm not sure of this server
host now
dominates most servers or if it is just that silly kind of lagging
message
bug that seems to occur in the server host window.
I wonder what ever happened to that internet over the power lines
technology
they used to talk about so much?
