Slaanesh Ronan Walsh Wank Dog posts : 20 As some of you have seen, the majority of times I join a server my ping shoots to 999 and very seldom comes back down until I disconnect from the server. It seems to be the ISDN 64K up is not enough. I have played a few games though where ping has been between 15-40 and was quite playable. Some of the other lads are on ISDN with no problems ! Its really pissing me off and I wanted to give this game a try but because of this stupid fucking bug I cant play the damned thing. Ro.

I dont think this is related to the q3 bug - I think its to do with upload being maxed out upon connecting. When I first tried connecting it was through my other PC which had an Asuscom TA. I tried 10 times but could not connect to any servers, because I would be 999 for 2 mins and then get disconnected. I see this happening to some of the other ISDNers like slaan, space, and sometimes Vin. To fix it I put an eicon diva TA in my new machine, and I havent been disconnected upon connecting since. On single channel ISDN, use the following net settings: seta net_clientUsercmdBackup "0" seta net_clientMaxRate "7000" On double ISDN go for seta net_clientUsercmdBackup "2" seta net_clientMaxRate "14000" Do you have an asus TA or an Eicon diva?
