Server High Ping Kick?

[Kinsman]

Hi, is there a High Ping Kick available?

We have a full server right now, and can put up several more based in Sydney Australia, but realistically its pointless without a High Ping Kick, as getting slammed by players from all over the world does reduce the experience for our "local" players, as in Aussies, Kiwis, and even some from Singapore.

Bumpity Bump.

Though I don't speak for TW, I can almost assuredly tell you that it ain't gonna happen from them. Perhaps when PB is fully working or through some mutator. I wouldn't even suggest going there.....

 

[Kinsman]

Sure, a Mutator would work, but they would need to release the Rcon Protocol before the community can add things like this.

High ping doesn't cause any issues for other players, unless massive packetloss starts appearing and the enemies start warping.

The server doesn't have to wait for a player to send info before someone is dead. The server hold its own copy of the playing base, and if someone is shot according to the server he's dead immediately.

In the way the netcode is configured only the players with bad ping can see the issues of the bad ping. Until the ping gets over 400 and they start warping.

Were an island down here mate, not uncommon to see a server full of 3-700 pingers.

Seriously, I cannot believe we are the only people in the world that would like to "localise" their servers?

If anybody knows a good UE3 Developer, I'll pay for the mutator.

I'd like to see a high ping kicker as well.

Those high pingers really don't affect the experience for the rest of us you know, not in UE3.

Incidentally, with the current state of the game the way it is a ping kicker would more than likely empty an entire server in one fell swoop at the first sign of CPU overload. I would wait until the actual server issues are resolved if I were you, then reassess.

 

[Kinsman]

yeah, keep telling that to the players watching people join with a 1000 ping until the whole server lags out.

Seriously, every other game we run has a high ping of 300 set. We are not stingy with our bandwidth, that allows Aus/NZ and Singaporeans to all play just fine.
