Why is this games reg so bad?

I have a feeling it also has to do with the servers. All these ''server full'' errors seem to point that the servers are under load. Also, reg has grown steadily worse through time as the player base expanded.

As to the argument blaming most of it on ping, I have bad reg not only on low pingers as well as high pingers, and I have low ping (15).

bcuz ur bad.

"than source has made from cs" LOL

I think they're on the same level, if we're just counting Valve income from copies sold vs. ZP purchases.

Just guesses of course, but everyone who ever bought ZP spent more then Source costs.

Cs (1.6 and source) works better than cf (more fps, less bugs, etc)

They're not comparable other then the fact that you shoot in both.

1.6/Source is the 'best' FPS, Crossfire is the best free MMOFPS.

I'm well clear of the conecept. Z8games is too lazy to do something about the reg, or they cant.

We can't. We don't develop this game.

From my point of view Cross Fire works as such.

Your client shows that you shot, it also predicts if you will hit anything and responds accordingly. While this occurs, the information is being sent to the server to be "processed".


Eg. You quick peak and shoot 1-2 bullets but the other player kills you at almost the same time. Often I find that I do zero damage, and while on my screen I took a shot my team mates did not see any bullets.

I have also noticed that at times my team mate could shoot and kill someone and I will not see any bullets or blood on the other player. Or the fact that blood is more or less useless in this game other then spiking your fps more.

Now the main issue here is the poor client side prediction. I assume that it is coded with the developers thinking only of the Asian versions of the game. First of all a country such as Korea has more advanced connections therefore lower ping then North America. Additionally as Blind Rob pointed out, our player base has a larger range then any other version.

But to continue I also believe the hit boxes are effected by the large range of pings. That or they are just very bad to begin with to be quite honest I am not sure. Simply put often I have found situations in which I shoot the air standing directly behind someone and head shot them.

/shrug

tldr:

1) Bad client side prediction
2) Bad net coding
3) Lagging hit boxes?

Ignorance is bliss. I guess its true.

Z8, bring CF V.2 over here already.
