Lag, and why does it exist? - An old topic in the wrong place.n00b me!

[fear tetsuo]

2000-dont even close this thread yet. This is actually a good post even though it has been brought up a few times. I know u wanna look like a good mod, but dont close this yet.

Well i did "click here" and read the lag explanation.
"At least 90% of all your attacks that appear to hit are just misses, and thus everyone fights out of sync for the majority of the time. This out of sync fighting creates problems with how two screens will interpret a fight and thus cause lag. The thing that causes this is quickly dodging or blocking an attack. How often does your screen actually show your opponent dodge or block an attack? Rarely. And when you miss your opponent on their screen but hit them on your screen, it will cause problems.." dubya tee eff????? 90% dont go through??? I didnt know it was that much. But lobo does bring up good points. Why can quake( like a 300 or 400 mb game file) run smoothly but this 6 ot 7 mb game cant???? This is gonna sound mean but if u really want ppl to keep rturning to this game u gotta get rid of lag first. Putting in new things makes us forget about the lag for a little bit, but in the end u cant play this game because of the intense lag. I play this game on mame and the only lag i experience is some skipping with someone who has a ping of like 600 who lives in another continent. Get rid of lag, then add new things. I am sure more people will then contribute to your funds once lag in gone.
