I found this in my quest to play dod:

A very strange turn of events I guess. It really is a "small world".

I tried your suggestions but still can't seem to even log onto a server. I
entered the three tweaks you gave me in the console and added your server
to
favorites by isp:
(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)
I still can't seem to get on. I'm wondering if something is bugged. I've
only tried to play a handful of times because I knew it would basically be
unplayable. The very first time and one other time I've logged onto a
server. The other times I don't even connect. Do most servers have a
maximum ping limit to keep lag down or do I have a bug/isp or computer
problem?
What other tweaks could I use?
Over the course of play I thought I had most all of the tweaks that were
considered legitimate but was always a bit paronoid of being called a
cheater to push too far into them due to the fact that apparently there
are/were a lot of people who did/do cheat these game. I wasn't exactly
sure
what was legit and what wasn't since I don't know enough to understand what
the tweaks are actually doing. I want an honest game. Otherwise what's
the
point?
I think the three items you told me to change were all different but I was
on comcast cable when I used to play dod 24/7. :>)
P.S. I'm not sure why I am suddenly "joansing" to play this game so much
but what would it take to revert back to pre-steam so I could shoot up some
sturmbots? I notice the folder seems to still be in two different
locations. I'm wondering if I could open dod from the old location and
play
it pre-steam or if there are any good bots with steam anymore. I guess
it's
time to do a google search, lol.
Anyway sorry to bug all you computer server pros with my very player
specific gaming question. Have a good evening all.

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.

just incase you are able to connect and play some.

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?
