Network Setup and .4 questions

[Kijutsu]

Never really looked at these options so I don't know if it matters, but...
..what should my ping charity / input rate & output rate be with a connection like this (stable):


Thanks

[Z-Man]

Rates maxed out. That goes for everyone on broadband.
Ping charity can be whatever you feel like giving. It won't affect your likelihood to slide, just the pvp part of the ping. 100 is fine nowadays.

[Kijutsu]

Thanks.

Another (unrelated) question, when I switch back from fullscreen in .4 my entire computer lags for some reason.. .2.8 never had this so I'm assuming it's something with this version. I had that problem with .3 too, it's annoying, any way to fix this?

When I switch back to fullscreen the game lags for a round, with huge lag-o-meters to go along. This with 0.2.8. x through 0.2.9.

Exactly the same here. Using 0.4 and Windows 7 x64

[Kijutsu]

My computer should easily be able to handle switching from fullscreen in tron, other games that use more resources can, so. Come to think about it, alt-tabbing in this game is a betch.

I manged to speed up the switching by experimenting around with some display settings. There might be a chance of finding the right settings again

Okay, cockpit question: I'm trying to get my ping/ms to show on my screen, but the number value stays blank.

How2fix? :3

[AI-team]

edit: nvm, it doesn't work

[Kijutsu]

Mm, doesn't work.

Anyone?

[dlh]

Change

Code: Select all

<AtomicData source="current_ping"/>

to

Code: Select all

<AtomicData field="source" source="current_ping" />

Btw, MS is megasiemens—ms is milliseconds.

[Kijutsu]

Still blank. Here's the entire file btw: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/57155157/essent ... ockpit.xml

[AI-team]

Change

Code: Select all

<AtomicData source="current_ping"/>

to

Code: Select all

<AtomicData field="source" source="current_ping" />

Yeah, that's also what I suggested. Guess I shouldn't have edited mine

[dlh]

Ping only seems to works when your Label has viewport="all" (the default). You have it set to “top”.

[Kijutsu]

It works now, thanks a lot dlh (and AI for trying.)
