Heh. I just noticed z-man and belenus both say they live in Cologne.

Well, I do... actually. =)

One might think why we talk in english to each other...

Which kind of lag? Not that it matters, I probably don't have a clue anyway.

If I just knew... when I do zig-zag moves the wall slides and sometimes I am dead before I even see it or the AI players jump around a little.

Hmm, there once was a bug that caused artificial lag for AI players; the turns they made would be transferred to the clients up to one second too late. But I think it's already fixed in 0.2.8.2.1.

Well it happens for me with 0.2.8.2.1 and 0.3.0 only when both machines are in a local network (actually they are even at the same switch). When the server is somewhere in the internet I can play normally against the AIs.

There is the possibility that something unusual in your network's timings throws off parts of AA's system. If you manage to catch the problem on tape, I can have a look at it. Like last time: version 0.2.8.2.1, with or without the other patch as you like, both client and server recordings, and very important: not too many rounds played (there already were AI desync warnings in your last recording, they turn into errors really fast). There's two possible results here, either our network code sucks, or your network sucks. Does a simple ping between the systems show any anomalies?

Ping doesn't show anything unsusual... will make a client and server recording this evening.

Any chance to get my OpenBSD 4.0 packages uploaded to aabeta and/or posted on the main download site? =)

I don't see any issue with linking to the 0.2.8.2.1 dedicated server from the main site. Z-man?

No objections, of course.

Added a link then.

Cool, thanks. =)

Attached the recordings. Hope you can see the lag issue there.

Sorry, but only users granted special access can read topics in this forum.

It's a poll in the developer's forum. Were you planning on maintaining the openbsd port?
