  • Ping help please!

    Ok, most times when I go onto a server I'm fine, but on other times I immediately get kicked for high pings of just over 200. I can play for round after round and have no trouble, then out of the blue I get kicked for high ping. Does anyone know why I'm getting such high pings? When I do into a game its fine and I get no lag. I have 2mbs download and upload. I think it may be because I live in New Zealand and there aren’t many servers in New Zealand so my ping gets high that way.

    So does anyone know of a way to lower my ping without going to another server? And is there any program that can mask your ping so you could make BF2 think you are getting low pings when you are not?


    I did some searching and found a website saying you could type in the command place and it would lower your ping. It seemed to help a lot of people but I was wondering if it worked and if I would get banned for doing it.

    Here’s where I found those commands:
    http://www.et.net.nz/modules/newbb/v...d=697&forum=14
    AND
    http://www.quaketweaks.com/loweringping.html
    The commands I am talking about are:
    /cl_maxpackets xxxx

    /cl_packetdup xxxx

    /rate xxxx



    Thanks

      I've tried the advise at http://www.quaketweaks.com/ once before and it made a small difference (Quake III, not BF2).

      In any case, I don't see how it could get you banned from Punkbuster.

      What about the 30 BF2 servers in Oz? Don't you get a good ping from them?

        I'm a bit confused about that site with the ping. What is it telling me to do?. Also do you know how to narrow it down to the servers in one location?

          A list of all current servers ^^ If you play on a UK server you will get kicked also likely on an american server depending on what they set the limit too. Im from UK and if i go on NZ servers i get booted for high ping. Just try and stick to servers the closest to you or find out what limit for ping is on servers.

              Yes, use Qtracker. You can see all the servers from one location, get accurate pings and connect without having to log into the account server each time.



              Qtracker is an Internet/LAN game and MP3 server browser. If you want to find places to play your favorite games, look no further. You can also use Qtracker to administer your game servers, and generate HTML or PHP server listings.
