NETWORK SETTINGS

Post by strategy-(DOG)- »

newbiesplayground servers run on a higher tickrate (NetServerMaxTickrate=64) and allows MaxClientRate=100000 - this enables clients to gain a lower ping.

however clients should adapt their NetSpeed settings to gain advantage from it.
it is recommended to set your "Internet Connection" in the tab "Preferences">"Network" to "LAN" at least (this should change your NetSpeed to 20000)!

you might also edit your user.ini file (UNREAL\System\) - find the section "[Engine.PlayerPawn]" and change the NetSpeed-value to 50000 (NOTE: don't edit files while game is running!):

Code: Select all

[Engine.PlayerPawn]
...
NetSpeed=50000
...
to check your current NetSpeed, type in console this command (same command to switch off the network settings display):

Code: Select all

stat net
changing this setting should improve your connection to the gameservers and handle "stuttering" on faster clients who used lower netspeed settings.
on gameservers supporting the UGOLDMP gamemode, you will notice "LAG-Messages". this randomly appearing lag appears on oll servers, yet only the UGOLDMP servers notify you about it. if you want to disable the LAG-Messages, type in console this command:

Code: Select all

ShowLags false
(to re-enable the messages type in console: ShowLags true)

if you need assistance, let us know!
i hope this will help to improve your settings when playing on NEWBIESPLAYGROUND servers! have fun! WOOF!

...the increased NETSPEED-setting probably won't have any impact on current "Jackals Coop" server, as the gamemode JCoopZ1 limits all network settings internally... high tickrates are supported by gamemmodes UGOLDMP, UTF and EDM as well as native Unreal gamemodes.

i noticed that some players still use lower netspeed settings due to recommendations suggested in past.
in my opinion nowadays most clients should have a bandwith that allows the higher NetSpeed settings.
