Question about crossfire's Reg System

server sided (if it was client sided you'd get a lot more people who'd modem tap), but the replay records the client side (i think).

wrong. it is Client sided, which is why the hit detection is so bad...
if it was server sided, then no one with a pinger over 150 could even play.
and the replay, as far as i can tell is just a pile of crap that does not accurately record hit locations, (bullet marks) or even head shots half the time. nor does it accurately record mouse movement.

its server sided, if it would be client sided evre would have a 100% reg rate.


chances are its:
player 1 shoot player b
send packed to z8's server
z8's server send packet to player b
player b see if he get hit, if he does; send packet to server saying he got hit.
server send packet to player a
player a get the kill



thats about the only way it could be with such a wierd reging.


edit: actualy nvm, i forgot about the shot behind a wall problem. this theory is prety much gone.

People with high latency will appear on your screen at one point but actually be in another position on the servers view...

The data has to be sent from the players client to the server and shown on everyone elses client... so if you have a high ping, playing a person with a high ping... good chances are you are gonna rage..

This is why you see blood flying from someone you shot but them not taking any reg.. the client shows you hitting them but the server doesnt.


Also yes, the Replay is what the server sees, hence why it looks so weird

So by you saying that does that mean the higher pings have the advantage or do they have the same problem seeing a low pinger?

mhmmm,

I got one of those pings, where every1 tanks me, but i don't tank them T_T

Well...

Let's skip the fact that the reg system is horrible

OK it's server sided I think

Oh and the replay lags...
I hit someone with the shovel

In the replay it shows no hit but he died

im curious, in the future, will the game engine be updated? i mean, looking at some actual shooters, Black Ops, Bad Company 2, they are amazing besides Crossfire, which isnt much above C1.6.

In the next 5 years lets say, users wont have crappy pc's, everybody will have a dual core, that will be something like minimum system requirments.

so do the developers think about this? pc evolves very fast, the game will become very old in a few years, from all points of view, graphics, sound, interface, ping, reg system, etc.

Are they actually considering changing the game engine?

all registry is done with server calculations

everyones game client sends info to the servers, and the servers decide what actually happened.


the big misconception that is throwing you off is you are guessing that the replay is an accurate representation of the things that the server sees. it isn't, it works similar to how sourcetv works. the clients send info to the server and the server puts a rough estimate of what happened into the replay file.

Because they can't get the license.

Its not up to Z8games its up to G4box. They have to wait until their current contract is up.

No because then they too have horrible reg on everyone else..

It definantly seems that high pings have the advantage lately. They are getting reg like no other and here I am standing like a fish on sand because shots wont reg on them.

A contract can be renegotiated at any time. It's all about the sides to get to an agreement.

Thats true but rarely does it happen by the time its up.

I would assume its probably like a 2 yr thing and those rarely get changed. Its the longer contracts that do.

finally i see someone notice this lately..
i had notice since halloween patch.. n it's getting worse..
my ping 58 very stable all the time. .
n i used to pick up headshot ez.. but since halloween patch i seens like the headshot picks up blood everywhere ,but barely dies .. n sometimes 2x heashot does 98 damage than i died..
n after xmas patch it's getting worse.. .

xmas patch i really noticed it. It seems since most of the community lags that they changed something to give them better reg so the majority of the community would QQ less about it. Mine is a constant 38 ping.

Its just kinda odd that they are lagging yet they are able to see me first and shoot me before I even get a chance sometimes.

happens to me all the time

Im also glad to see its not just me. I was starting to think I was just getting bad but something has to of changed.

They should make games like FPS' less laggy.
