no did not use any selfexplode buttone
nor was i slammed by a missile....

"kaifas is having issues" and i blew up....
can anyone from dev plz explain this?
kinda made me upset as i dont have that mutch cash and i trade all the time so i can afford something,i cant help in flagcapping becuse of lagg....all the f**** time!!
however in certain system there i no lagg,but once i return to home systems it laggs again...

ya ummmmm, 1000 ping or greater could quite possibly be your promlem...:O

You know a while ago, my bus exploded for no apparent reason too, I was confused and told everyone about it. Then a character by the name of "sniveling worm" apologized and said he was checking if his /kill still worked. Dunno if was joking or not :\

Anyway, twas a slightly related story, and I'm done now. Back to pings and whatnot!

yea true..but i fail to see what it could be as no other game shows this incredible poor playabillity on my pc...because if it was my pc then at least this game shouldent be unique with this problem.

Kaifas:

What ship were you flying?

What were you doing at the time you blew up?

Do you have a dialup connection?

i flew a warthog.
I was exiting the station and chased a bot as it was lurking around the station...bot disapered(burning out,couldent gain on it)then boom!...
no im on cable 1 mb here

edit:no it wasent the bot that killed me as it would have stated so,the bot did like most other bot i encounter:either they shoot me down or they vanish into thin space...and i cant help it as it laggs all the time

That's amazingly bad performance for cable. I have known several people to have connect issues with cable that required a house call to repair. Do you play any other graphics-intensive online games? Can you compare the performance?

Also, what processor speed and video card are you using?

play tribes 2,enemy territory.renegade etc...and i dont have a ping issue there...

Stats:
amd 2100xp

ms winxp pro
have shutted down everything that i dont need running

whats the adress or ip to the server,as i can try to do a trace route to see where things are starting to go bad

edit typo

21141 for server majikthise.guildsoftware.com. (204.29.203.105)

From the FAQ:

The Vendetta Updater, the auto-update program that executes prior to game startup, makes an outbound connection to TCP port 21024. Once updating has completed and the game itself is fired up, a connection is established upon login attempt to UDP port 21141. Thus, any modern firewall capable of "keeping state" on outbound TCP/UDP should require no alterations. Other firewalls and packet filter implementations may require specific configuration changes. Both the updater and game work fine through Network Address Translation.

hmm average is 231 ms...thats not too good,but shouldent be that mutch of a problem or massive lagg

ok did some testing,the above result happens in windows when i do a traceroute,when in game checking ping i get 170-2000.
Starts with 100 something then in the matter of seconds its at 1000 then it just keeps growing bigger......

do you possible have any more informative or ideas that could actually help this issue??
get a mac?yeah right...i dont downgrade when i buy parts i upgrade.

Doh! The one time I don't do my "firewall" schpiel and there it is.

Great news. Have fun.

found the buggger that was causing it,zone alarm does not work well at all with this game,once i shutted that down i got down to 150 and all is shining:)

it happens,tnx for the help ppl:)
