Lag Problems

[simon]

I played somebody in the UK just a few minutes ago and they had really low ping so I had bad lag and to see this persons
game I had to change the Queryatonce setting in the gameprefs.ini file to 20 but I didn't think I would have to change
anything to see peoples games because I am on 4MB broadband and that seems fast enough to me if you saw me in your
game a few minutes before this was posted please reply why I was so badly lagged on such a fast connection and everyone
else please say what you think might be wrong. A bug with 1.3 maybe?

It doesn't matter how fast your connection is if the host has a slow connection.

Does lag mean resyncs or what do you mean by lag?  Lag is such a broad term, it could be used to describe warping or resyncs.

All of the above but I was only in game for a few seconds then the server quit on me so I didn't get a good look at what
was happening. The person that was hosting was called l.e.d.

Unfortunately in public beta 3, if you join after the game starts, the game will resync badly.  This is even if you join within 1 minute after the game started.  It takes a while for the game to stop resyncing if it ever does.  Even after you leave, the resyncs persist for a little while then go away.
