Kingioan Posted March 24, 2005 Share Posted March 24, 2005 Hi,I'm having problems playing quake 2 multiplayer. When I'm playing I get lag (with the mouse etc). Both our pings are very low (around 18).I'm using cable, and its wireless. I play against my house mate who is also using wireless. He never gets any problems with lag. I noticed that if he hosts the game "start network server" or if I start it, I'm the one that always gets the problem. Any ideas what's causing this?When i create a "network server" I don't experience any lag until he joins the game etc.. It's really annoying because he's now able to kick my a** because I can't move quickly :-)Any suggestions? I have no idea what else to do...I've already tried to adjust the quake multiplayer settings. Many Thanks,Ioan (UK) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kingioan Posted March 25, 2005 Author Share Posted March 25, 2005 Lets see now...Quake graphics set as:Video mode: [1024 x 768]Driver: defaultOpenGL8 bit texture: NoSync Every frame: YesGraphics card details:Ati Mobility Radeon 7500 CScreen Res: 1400 by 1050 (32bit)It supports openGL / Direct 3D64 megs, 60 Hertz (refresh)System properties:Dell Inspiron 5100Pentium 4, 2.8Gz, 512 Ram But I'm not sure if it has anything to do with the graphics.It only happens when my friend joins a network game.. or if I join his network multiplayer game. Strange really! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kingioan Posted March 26, 2005 Author Share Posted March 26, 2005 Nah, its not spyware. It only happens when the other quake player joins, or when I join his game etc. Does anyone know how I could tweak the Quake 2 settings for multiplayer?
