It might be true... But still the ingame latency was more or less equal to the icmpping to the server. now its 3-4 times the icmpping and I still have the same icmpping to the servers as I did 5-6 years ago.
I do agree that low fluxation are more important, but still there are issues that was not seen before. Its not like we have gone backwards and lower the over all internet capacity. Hmm.. I just might install 1.3 over steam and have a look. I believe there was a way of doing that. Dont know if it still works... /Bjorn On Sat, 30 Sep 2006, Steven Hartland wrote: > I believe what you are describing is how we are all now > much more in tune with high performance.
