Why do I keep getting this message whenever I try to play a game online? Its very annoying. I have a 4MB connection!!!

Your ping is too high for the servers.
Try turning down torrents and other internet sucking software.
And if you are on a lan/wireless connection, kick out all the internet suckers from it....
Also it's best to know in which country the server is located, the closer it is to your country the more chances it will have lower ping...

300-400 ping is very high. Try finding servers closer to your location.

Whats the difference? I can play the game perfectly fine

pavliko · « **Reply #5 on:** October 03, 2011, 08:04:41 am »

It just looks so but other players see you warp.

ali · « **Reply #6 on:** October 03, 2011, 08:36:32 am »

No they don't. They shoot at me all the time i'm never ignored. I used to play on dial up a few years ago and even then I didn't have any issue.

well ping limit is set by the server so there's not really much you can do about that, you just have to optimize/upgrade your connection until you can keep a stable ping within their limit.

Does anyone know of a server with a high ping limit??

And plz remove this dumb feature from soldat!

It is a good feature, because we don't want trolls like you coming in with your ridiculous pings and making the game shitty for everyone but you. The ping kick is up to the server admin, not you, so either deal with it and find a server with a suitable ping for you to play or don't play at all.

ali · « **Reply #11 on:** October 03, 2011, 11:31:19 pm »

How am I a troll, idiot? I've never noticed any difference in the game and neither has anyone else, why the fuck would everyone be shooting accurately all the damn time if the game had been shitty?

And no other game in the world has this feature, and there's never any trouble there. I.e Wow, Warcraft, CoD, etc. So why the fuck would it be a problem for Soldat?

And 300 ping isn't bad, only when its like 1000 would it be an issue.

So fuck off before calling me a troll, bitch.

Consider these possibilities:
1) They might have noticed the difference, even though you think they didn't.
2) They might not have been accurate all the damn time, even though you think they were.
3) Maybe they just were that good.

Many games have this feature, it's a fact. Laggy players ruin the game for other players, that is also a fact. Therefore it's a problem for Soldat, and ping kick somewhat fixes that problem.

300 ping is bad, it's a fact. 150 ping is acceptable, but more than that would be pushing it.

Accept it: Something is wrong with your internet, not the game. Fix your internet. Period.

Which other game has the feature ping kick?

1) I notice absolutely no difference between when I play with bots on my computer and when I play online. If there's 0 lag for me, everything's happening super fast, in real time, how can there be lag for anyone or others whose ping is better than mine?

2) How much data do you think soldat has to transfer? Its not a graphic intensive game like WOW that has to transfer like 500 kb a minute. It probably only transfers 10 kb a minute. Even dial up is good enough for that. 300-400 ping is more than enough for this!!!

3) I play other games all the time on game ranger which are far more resource heavy than soldat, and there's no lag for anyone there either.

I'm a programmer so I know what I'm talking about.

lol 300 ping is really bad for a online fast-paced shooter game. And other fps games has that feature too.
Btw ping is not that important for mmoprg games like WoW etc.

Which other game has the feature ping kick?

Nearly every on line game has a ping kick feature. Playing with people who have 400 ping is nearly impossible, there is almost half a second delay between what you do and what we see.

You also don't seem to know the difference between latency(ping) and bandwith:

Bandwith is how much traffic it takes when playing the game, in Soldat that's about 5 KiB per second upload and download.
Latency is how long it takes for the packets you send to arrive at their destination (the server).

So whether you have a connection with a bandwith of 4 mbit/s or 1 mbit/s, soldat will show the same ping. The soldat packets won't be delivered faster because you have more bandwith available (you already have plenty).

My guess is that for all those other games you play, you have servers nearby (or latency is slightly less important like in WoW). In soldat the amount of servers available is limited at the moment. Might we know where you live? perhaps we could direct you to some of the soldat communities in your area who often offer gathers located there.

50/100ms ping kick is quite normal in other games...

but yeah, he's just trolling.

Bistoufly · « **Reply #19 on:** October 04, 2011, 07:28:14 am »

Hello, Ali.

When you are in the server menu in soldat.
Make sure the server list is sorted by ping. If not click on the "ping" header to sort the column.
Are there any interesting server you can join below 150 ping?
-If so, join one of these: problem solved.
-If not, upgrade your connection or change your ISP.
