I tweaked the UT2004.ini file awhile back and I believe that was causing the lag and stuttering on our POL game server.

before:

MaxClientRate=25000
MaxInternetClientRate=25000

after:

MaxClientRate=10000
MaxInternetClientRate=10000

Players, including myself was having issues with great lag especially when select players would enter the game. What these players had in common was their network speed. These players (no fault of their own) was the only ones capable of running at 25000. They would be super fast, but everyone with lesser internet speeds would talk a hit. Basically not enough bandwidth to go around. Upon lowering both rates back to 10000, the server was super smooth again. Some servers are set to 750, so 1000 is still above average and everyone should be equally fast.

Let me know how it feels to ya? Thanks.

Hey Cyber, thank you so much for fixing that, I've been experiencing the lag problem for a while now, a lot of times specially when there were more than 3 players I had to exit the game in the middle of the match because my connection was failing or was very slow, so frustrating because I was a sitting target and by the time I moved I was already dead. I even could've sworn that I was hitting the other players but they were not dying, in reality I think i was hitting them where they were a second before.

Today I played with 4 to 5 players at the same time and it was great, I can feel that the conditions of the game are the same now for all players; there was no lag or delays, I kind of got my confidence back because I really thought I was a bad shot. Great job my friend

Hi cyber, lately we've been having server lag specially when there is more than 2 players, I will be experiencing stuttering while other players moving fast next to me with no problem, it's so frustrating, it just ruin the flow of ur game, I'm sure u know how it feels lol. You mentioned this issue on this thread before and ur solution of reducing player's bandwidth rate so everyone will have a fighting chance worked perfectly. Do u think this problem on this server can be fixed the same way? thanks buddy

I'll see what i can do my friend. Do some tweakin. hehe
