Napalm server has moved!

[jeN]

where do you live? The old server was in dallas and the new server is in NY. If your on the west coast there is a chance your ping would go up 20-40 points. But, you should be able to get under a 100 ping from anywhere to anywhere in the US.

 

Nopeee, generally my ping to west is 150 and I live in NY. I also use roadrunner, but rarely will I ping below 100 to west servers. :] I ping 70ish to texas. A lot of it just depends on the persons connection. Zombie mod doesn't really depend on ping as much as normal gameplay does. It's easily playable with 100ping. :/

We had ~40 people on last night, and were experiencing intense start-of-round lag on one map. I forgot the name of it, it has a building in the middle, a lower level that you can turn the lights off in, and a trolley thing that can carry you to a tower.

 

After we got off that map it was alright, but I don't think that map will work out.

 

My ping is ~160 now, as opposed to 140, so yea. It's okay.

^Map is zm_towers^

 

and that map seems to lag horribly no matter what.

Ping never seems to be an issue on zm servers. As long as your not lagging you'll be okay. We have guys in Europe that average in the 150-200 range and they do just fine.

 

zm_towers is a lag fest at startup. There are rounds where everyone locks up. The spawn points are all clustered together in one area, and with everyone trying to buy and move at once the server gets overwhelmed.

Yeah im on the far west coast, California. My ping used to be 80-90 on a full server. Now its up toward 140 when theres 30+ people. Whats weird is that when there is a few people like 10, my ping is 80 then slowly rises when people start joining.

Heh, it lagged the entire game at every round-start. The bad thing is that it lagged so long that the zombie spawned right there when the lag stopped, and nobody had moved yet, so there were always at least 7 zombies at the round start.

Heh, I have a ping of about 20-30 when a map first starts up (I'm always the first person in), but then as people join up it spikes to 140 then holds steady. This is true of most servers.

Lately rounds have been starting with the "beginning - round lag" , even on aim. Is there any fix for this...it's inconvenient

 

Hopefully when I come around there at 10 30 AM it'll be better...

It generally does that, I can't exactly explain why. But the more people on a server=the higher everyones pings will be.

Hey Jen, I keep missing you on the server lol.

[awesomebillfromdawsonvile]

damn, no wonder my ping was such crap compared to before, im in austin tx, so i went from 20-30 to around 60 or 80, not to bad though, but not 0 lag for me.
