I dont know if any of you have seen this but there seems to be a server up which is supposedly being hosted off Jolt. I went on it before and my average ping was 55 :o

Soooory :oops:

But i doubt its a real one. Didnt Jolt refuse to host on Deus Ex at some point, saying it was a waste of there hosting capacity

I doubt Jolt would care how popular the server is as long as they are getting paid. They are a business, after all.

Jolt havent stopped hosting DX servers, you can still get them. The catch is that you can only get them if you get a dedicated box, you have never been able to get just a DX server, you have to get one of their Uberservers.

What's the point in getting another excellent euro 0 aug server? We already have that gamesmajor one.

Jolt's better than Gamesmajor for non-euro

One word post. Hell, that wasn't even a word; get the fuck out.

GM is good for euro. If you're not euro, don't whine about it; either face the lag or go somewhere else.

The only way you could make that comparison is if the other server is in London. If not, your results are void being as the other server could be closer and is bound to give you a lower ping regardless.

if you knew dx enough, you would know that when server gets overloaded, ping from all players is higher. the question is what is the ping difference between empty and full server.

now, if you still have dx on your pc, please, go and try making the same experiment, you will find out that i am right.

i would compare 2 UK servers gladly, rather than putting mine into. but hence, there is only 1 UK server, so i cant do that.

why this high ping and lag happens, i wouldnt know exactly, i would have to know, if theres another game server running on that machine. if not, the problem is CPU speed, if yes, they prolly have some sort of program that disables certain applications to use more CPU, and with that they save CPU being able to host more gameservers on one box. for hosting a 16 slot dx server in map like smuggler, you need a god damn fast cpu. this is not ut, q or cod, where a normal p3 500mhz would be enough for 16 players.

Ah I only glanced over your page and thought you were comparing the GM pings against the pings of your server, not differences. Static pings dont really count, as they're always higher than active pings due to the way the unreal engine works, but I wont go into it as I imagine you have found out already. Either way, it was just my fault for not reading properly! :P

Knowing various things about GM, I have a vague idea of what the problem is, though Im not sure its info they would usually give out so Im just gonna keep quiet.

At the end of the day, play there if you like it (as most do) or dont play there. Either way it must be better for a warmup map or 2 at least than Godz! :P

not exactly. the trick is in setting STATIC updaterate (eg. 60) to higher value, giving you lower ping even in non moving situations (but using more cpu on the server), check my last screenshot being on my server. you notice, there is only 5ms difference between moving and standing. even standing ping drops to be the same as dynamic ping, if there is enough action around you.
