Connection speed limiter

so i was playing a game with 19 people was great! no lag, no jumping, then suddenly the game just drops to .5 frame! per second.i manage to pull up the scoreboard, player had 900+ ms ping. while the highest we had before was 120 tops, every server now has atleast 1 player that has 300 ping that lags my game, this is so stupid cause server admins dont know anything about anything.

What...... in heaven's name are you talking about?? To me, it sounds like you are the one in the dark.. The next time that happens check to see what's running in the background on YOUR machine!

i had that happen to me once. i was the guy with the 900 ping. needless to say, i left the game. no one was complaining about my ping messing them up at the time though.

If you're blaming your poor performance on another player's high ping, then you must have absolutely no idea what you are talking about. That should have no affect on your client-server connection, and if, for some reason, it did, then everybody else would probably be up in arms too.

I've heard of people complaining that about other players' high pings making them impossible to shoot, but this is a first.

When complaining about other peoples' ignorance, it is a good idea to actually be informed on the topic you're complaining of. In this case, you're flat-out wrong. Other people's connections have zero effect on your lag.

The times when everyone's latency pegs 999ms is because the server just choked, but that has nothing to do with someone else being laggy.

...And 300ms isn't even that big of a deal now that latency is less of an issue.
