Thread: P2P is already starting to piss me off.27 Jun 2013, 12:43 PM For completeness sake I sat down and counted the games that finish prematurely due to laggers (1v1 and 2v2, not counting 3v3 and 4v4 because it's almost guaranteed a lagdrop). A whopping 40% of my games are decided prematurely, because someone lags out during the course of the game. This is just awful. In: Lobby
Thread: Coh2 Ranking26 Jun 2013, 22:44 PM Jump back to quoted post26 Jun 2013, 19:07 PMBudwise Tbh, despite the fact we've given them our money already, its really quite backwards. You dont release half a game, then wait for money, then see if you can fund the rest later. I know its not all in their power to do that but still, just sayin. Unfortunately, that is how the world works. You have deadlines and you have to pay your staff. These features are the first to be canned if money is short. Of course you can potentially make more money with more investment but you need to have that money in the first place. In: COH2 Gameplay

No one here claimed that this stuff doesn't happen in a S-C environment, nor that S-C is the holy grail of networking. This is mostly a QoL issue. As others have already pointed out, relics networking is "meh", to put it carefully. also, i don't know if you played on b.net back in the days Yes, and I personally never had any problem with battle.net and that was back in the day when I still dialed in with a modem. Maybe I was excessively lucky or the people responsible at blizzard are just damn good at their job. Fact remains that I have trouble staying connected in relic games despite a uber 1337 h4x0r connection. Since this hopefully won't be relics last game and they're the second worst at this network stuff right after Paradox Development Studio (who are literally stuck in 1989) I hope someone at relics snaps their fingers and hires a couple of guys to deal with it or something.

The Battlenet you see there, compared to the battlenet you see now is VERY different. And at least for me it worked VERY much better than relics P2P system, even back then. In: Lobby

Eh? Blizzard developed their service for Warcraft II back in 1996, I don't see what WoW has to do with that. In: Lobby

Noone here said "relic, just do blizzard.net", but it would definitely be a good idea. obviously, shit costs money. also, obviously, there is something called cost/benefit. In: Lobby

Nah, it's just the P2P system. It depends on the host obviously, if I get someone hosting in russia it's pretty much bound to be auto-GG. Sometimes the MM simply puts you up against someone from remotistan. It's probably a good idea to forward these ports, still: https://support.steampowered.com/kb_article.php?ref=8571-GLVN-8711 In: Lobby
