[ Converted text/html to text/plain ] I dont think that fixing the netcode is just that simple. Its something naturally, like if you would say stop the wind blowing. If you play on the internet, there will be always a latency, and an amount of lag, wich must be corrected somehow. The server collects infos from the players, calculates the new world frame, and then sends it back to the users, in updates. All the steps of this needs time, and this time is latency, that must be corrected. Since all net-connections are different, there must be a buffer, to collect, correct, and then display changes. Therefore, a perfect hitreg will never be, with this system. Of course, they could make client side hitreg, where if you someone, the hit info sent by your client to the server, that it must be a hit. But it would make impossible, to filter out cheaters, since anyone could send false hitreg updates, with a cheat, or even if there is a client side anticheat, from a 3rd computer. This is not just a problem, where we can say, that 'Valve fix it asap!'. Try explain them how... Locutus Michael McKoy írta:
Wouldn't fixing netcode be a Source engine issue, not just a CS:S issue? Then it effects every game built on the engine, and would have a benefit for all mods or licensed users of the engine. Better netcode would be a selling point, so you could say they would make money since it improves EVERY source game. Maybe I'm wrong though, maybe the netcode isn't directly in the source engine? He might have elaborated on what specs his machines have, but yes, I agree it's a quality post. However, I doubt Valve is going to answer. We on this list know only too well what happened to our pleas for 64-bit support. (Does anybody have access to the Bellevue area sewer system?) Plus, I'm not sure they get any money if their game is played on LAN parties (or do they? Can somebody clarify? Thanks), so I doubt this is a high-stakes-if-ignored problem. ~~ Ondra Cc2iscooL wrote: -- [ Picked text/plain from multipart/alternative ] Thanks for the link...quality post. Just hope that when (if) Valve fixes the netcode that they don't further increase load on the servers, it's high enough as it is.

I hope Valve will reply on it, in the forums or here in the list. It just the point where CS:S will substitute CS 1.6 in being the most COMPETITIVE played game on the leagues - or not. ;-) I would agree a personal message too. _______________________________________________ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlds_linux[4] _______________________________________________ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlds_linux[5] ===References:=== 1. mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] 2. mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] 3. http://forums.steampowered.com/forums/showthread.php?t=490324 4. http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlds_linux 5. http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlds_linux _______________________________________________ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlds_linux
