MTL and ping

[synthetic]

I played with MTL over a year and had some laggy games. Now with same connection and comp and without MTL i dont literally lag so much anymore. Ping dropped aswell. I am suspecting however that without MTL the ping readings are not as acurate as ping command produces 244 even if statnet shows 188 389 460 732 632 710 332 and so on. Basically whats the deal with pings and mtl? What can i trust: ping or statnet?


EDIT: with stat net my ping is always jumping from 100-700 in any server. In usa it doesnt go to 100 of course but i dont remember it going higher than 700 lately.

ud prob have to use statnet and mtl at the sametime to get the same reading...i think ur ping is ALWAYS changing, and it would be hard to get the same reading twice...

MTL is lagging up everything, I guess you could say. I've experienced this in Rhino's - Rhino installed DXMTL160, and it was EXTREMELY laggy.

MTL, is a mod for the server and face it, mods lag servers

My server got less laggy when I installed MTL.

latest mtl lags considerably as Ive been told. Never tried it. So the standard mtl should lag aswell but people with high connection speed wont notice the difference perhaps.

It would appear MTL forces the ping to stabilize with the cost of slightly higher ping.

I trust 'ping' command. Statnet jumps to 400 from time to time for me but i don't have a feeling of 400 at all and the lead keeps being the same.

I use the new alrightythen mod, seems to keep the ping at bay, but one drawback is, when it lags, it really lags...

i cant figure out whats new about MTL160 (apart from chatlog which you can get anyway!) but 160 has MAJOR bugs... when i kill myself like tntcrate or fall it starts going mad.

When you say MTL152 and 160 causes lag, do you mean it causes lag for the whole server in general, or only for the ppl who go on the server with MTL already installed in their DeusEx/System?

[AgentSmyth]

probably the whole server cuz even if u dont have i u are going to dl it neway

I can't really say. I only experienced this once, and my mate said it was fine for him.
