Feedback and compare with your rc15

Okay, so rc15 is working for me now. Haven't tested every map yet but, canyon and money are okay.

Now, this is, what I experienced so far:
- rc15 needs ages until you see the empires intro
- it's laggy as hell
- can change class only once per map

 

It's fine for me :/

 

Me and Broderick and some other guys have been playinmg for a couple of hours and its fine...

except for when you fall through the map when trying to go prone up a hill :S

 

It did take a lot longer to get onto the server last night. Does the game server share bandwidth with downloads?

 

No problems here.. Everything is okay and I'm glad it fixed my weird keybindings defaulting bug which I was going to report today.. :D

 

it took me 15 mins to connect to the server; I shit you not...

 

or almost drown when your barracks is built over watter and you spawn prone under the barracks.

man that guy who was sniping us was fricking good with the scout.

 

it ALWAYS takes me like 5 minutes, at LEAST, to connect to the server when I'm joining a game for the first time. Anyone know why that is?

 

Fragmented cache file? Low RAM? Choked upload speeds? Long distance from the server?

I must say that loading times have improved consistently for me from each RC to the next. Whether that's just perceived or not I don't know. Now it takes 2-3 minutes maximum for me, and with Bodrick's fun things to read, that time flies by!

 

Connected and had to disconnect.. It was so laggy it was unplayable.
Also.. I could shoot with the Scout rifle while prone. Isn't it intended to be impossible to shoot while prone?

 

No, only when moving.

 

I've at least noticed something. Whenever my hard disk is nearly full, it takes a lot longer. Last week i've downloaded 7 gb, and installed supreme commander (7 gb ?). I used to have 20 gb free, now i have 6 left. Wednesday when i joined a 1.071 server it took me almost 5 minutes, while it shouldn't be more then 2 minutes max ever. Fragmented files could maybe be the cause.

 

probably upload speed or cache... I'm in the US, so not TOO far away from the official, and I've got plenty of ram. I haven't defragged anything computer related for several months now. That's probably a freaking huge issue. I have a fair amount of space left, but what is used I'm sure is scattered all over the inside of my computer.

 

I think it's because the HD takes longer to read, and to get files cached from it.

 

I think loading 32-bit on a 64-bit OS takes a bit longer too, because I'm experiencing that.

 

Alright, I defragged my C: drive, and it helps things (my files were, on average, in 1.7 pieces. Yeah, that bad ), but I still get some delay, mainly on the "Retrieving Server Info" status when connecting. Any clues?

 

It took me forever to d/l JJ's map tonight, so much so that I never actually got to play it.

 

I am made of pure lag.

As in, consistently over 1500 ping where I had around 500 before.

:-?

 

Dang.... You should change your name to Niarlag.

 

The game windows stop responding if I try to open a window before I spawn for the first time. I then have to mash the space bar so I can get back to the spawn window. Also sometimes unproning results in the HUD making walking animations, but you're still prone.

Going from 1.071b to 1.08 15 RC, I noticed that:

-No dropped frame rate in buildings. At all.
-My loading times went from 10 minutes to less than 30 seconds
-You finally finished level 3 and the graphics got tightened up a little bit
