What I am saying that the engine part did not add that much extra latency. It used to be like 10-20% extra (7ms -> 8-10ms), now its more of 200-600% (7ms -> 15-40ms) depending on map used and amount of players. /Bjorn _______________________________________________ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlds_linux
