so many years have past since i started toplay this game

corvus0070

And still do not know many things,and if somebody can help me understand i will really great full.
1 what is ping (i knew that is speed of information from base computer my computer) to server and back to my...
2 what are fps (i know they are frame per seconds but in this game what are they ,cuz i use to have 140 fps till zm3 update and then slowly decrease to under 90)
3 why if i have ping 37 let's say 40 average i can't keep up or kill one that has 110 or more (speaking in uk servers) i start shooting first and die because the hit box ? of him/her is not where i see (i understand) but when he /she shoots me with lower ping need only 3,4 bullets for me to die, even if i empty 1 clip i still do not get the kill,cuz of lag
4 why flash does not work on lag players, i trow it in front of them then i try to rush but,is like i never had trow the flash but if someone trows a flash nade does not matter where in front of me behind me left of me right of me(u get the picture) even if i turn my back on it, i still get flashed for 4 to more seconds with flash goggles on char
5 when the enemy trows a grenade doesn't matter were he trows it close far i get damage but i saw and have some replays with players that lag, most of them , grenades come under their feet and they get 0 to MAX 30 hp damage, WHY? cuz for me nades r like a curse,does not matter were i go they follow me.
6 why if i run from an enemy behind a cover (i SEE MY SELF GOING BEHIND A CORNER or he's/hers line of sight) sometimes meters away the game drags me back and i wake up dead
7 related to 6 if i go to place and there is a corner i see the enemy teleport in the mid of the road and i instantly get shot (dead) without having a reaction.
8 since a while a ago why do i do so many 80 or less damage with sniper (r93 or awm gold) on targets standing still,when before even if i hit the hand was death instant(maybe they moved in that instant,but all?)
9 why do WE get black screen errors when alt-tab the game? i do it so i can change the song or someone call's me ......
10 maybe are more question but i do not have them now is late and this are my important one's
SO IF SOMEONE CAN HELP ME UNDERSTAND WHAT I AM DOING WRONG!!! i am sorry for my English but is late.

1- The more you are close to the game's server, the better ping you get. Your actual speed doesn't matter much. What matters more is wires and signal, you know.
2- ZM3 is new so probably needs better PC performance, although sometimes, not only in ZM3. Its the game.
3- Lag works both ways, whatever happens to you, happens to him. So, he struggles to kill you as well. The luckiest one wins in a lag game in my opinion. Try to aim to the head. 4 bullets to the head better than 60 to the chest.
4- Cause maybe he teleported to some other place or maybe he will get flashed a few seconds later.
5- same as above
6- I don't get it, but if you jump to hide behind a wall and you were shot just as you were jumping, you will find yourself dead behind the wall. That's not a hack. Maybe a little lag or its normal. So your character finishes the first command it was given(jump) , and then the second (death). Just assuming these are commands. This is how computers normally work.
7- Teleport is a kind of lag, and lag makes miracles.
8- its your aim. I rarely get 80 with Awm gold.Try to focus. Don't randomly quick scope. I don't use R93 much, so am not sure about it.
9- It sometimes happen. Not sure if its my PC or the game. Although after entering a server, and it goes black. Its the game I believe. Try to not click at all with your mouse or keyboard, and be patient. You might avoid it by doing this
10- ok
Dun hesitate to ask. I'm sure somone would be glad to help. Here or via support.

1] The ping is the reaction time of your connection–how fast you get a response after you've sent out a request. A fast ping means a more responsive connection, especially in applications where timing is everything (like video games).
The lower ping, the better. Doesn't depend much on your internet speed but your distance from server you're playing on.
2]A measure of how much information is used to store and display motion video.
Nothing much to understand there, the higher FPS you get, it's better for you (game will run smoother). If you are not satisfied with you current frame rate, you should upgrade your CPU or GPU. I've heard that CF is CPU intensive game so that would probably be the best thing to upgrade.
3]Not sure what exactly is the question here but you should keep in mind that anything bellow 120 is still considered playable. Some players might tank a few bullets but there's not much you can do about it. I'm not gonna say you're bad, but you should always work on your aim.
4]Pretty sure flash affects everyone, even laggers. It might have shorter duration if it ended up being behind an enemy, but it's still going to flash them. As for your issue with flash, I cannot agree, I never wear glasses on my char (because looks matter ) and if you turn your head away from flash it doesn't last 4 seconds for sure.
5]Either they lagged really hard at that point or had armor. Nades don't do much damage when opponent is wearing an armor.
6]I've never noticed being dragged back to be honest, but if you're talking about dying even after jumping behind a cover, it's probably because of lag.
7]Uhm??
8]I've noticed this myself. Often 80's with AWM, it's a leg shot, even tho I think I did hit the body. I believe AWMs got nerf. Didn't notice many 80s with R93. The best suggestion is getting Barrett
9]I alt-tab every day, never got black screen, but if you don't have enough RAM memory game might take a bit longer to load.

^Some of these answers are the way I look at the game. They might be wrong, but this is my opinion.

Hah, it's not really a place to talk about but yes, I've changed IGN, I'll make sure I message you next time I see you online, you're still on my fl

To expand on some of the points made:

1: Ping is the amount of time (In milliseconds) it takes for your connection to reach the server. Higher ping means your actions, such as shooting, changing weapon, or moving will be delayed more for other players than lower ping. If you have 100 ping and the enemy is moving and you shoot them, you will be hitting ~0.1 seconds behind where they are. Since that's not much time, most of your shots will hit if you aim for the center of your target. If your ping was 200, you will be hitting ~0.2 seconds behind where they are. This gives them double the time to move position and means it is more likely you're shooting behind the enemy according to the server, even if on your screen your crosshair is right on them.
2: FPS (Frames per second) is the amount of times the image on your screen changes per second. The higher it is, the easier your computer is dealing with the game. The lower it is, the harder your computer is working to try and keep it up. Since most people have a 60Hz screen, anything above ~120 won't make much difference visually. It can affect your mouse movement, and feel of the game, but that's kind of complicated. Some people have trouble on 60 FPS when on 120 they're fine. I'm one of those people. I find my mouse sensitivity changes if I lock my fps at 60, and I find it very hard to bhop compared to the 200 I usually get.
3: I can't explain any further than is already explained above.
4: ^
5: ^
6: In some games it's referred to as "Peekers advantage". In this case, it's the other way round. When you go round a corner, you see round a corner slightly before the enemy can see you. This is because it takes time for the server to get the information on where you're moving to. Because you were moving away, the server hadn't caught up to your actual movement yet. It pretty much all comes down to connection speed.
7: Lag.
8: I don't often hit 80's with my R93, but AWM can do 80 in the legs, feet, and hands I believe. It's been like this for years.
9: Get a second screen or play in windowed and this problem goes away. If you have a second screen, you can alt-tab and the game will stay in full-screen and you can still see what's happening while doing other things (Changing songs, talking to people etc.) on the other screen. If you're windowed, it's essentially the same. The game stays active.

Hope this helps.

Some of the information I did not know it
thanks

corvus0070

thanks all,for all explications, learned some new info's.I did not say before, but i have desktop with amd phenom(maybe this is a problem) quad core 3ghz (i know pretty old), 8 ghz ram, not a very good video card hd 4850 ati 300 mb internet fiber optic and my ping usually is 30-35 in uk servers.AGAIN tnx all for everything.

CPU is more important than GPU for such games.
Graphics isn't that good.
You should consider Cache Memory if you are willing to renew your CPU.
You can find many CPUs carrying the same name and the same GHz nearly, but what matters the most is Cache Memory.

Some peope say that ping has to do with how far you are away from the server which is "half true"

I live in holland, and like most people from my country I got 20/25 ping. HOWEVER a friend of mine, who lives near me, has 8 to 11 ping because he got this thing called "glass fibre cable" which is the fastest internet up to date.
