1.03 increased Lag

[Karaya 1]

Hello everyone,

I have been playing DH with a friend of mine for quite a while now. We changed to 1.03 and for me (the client) it is horribly laggy. Could it be a bandwith issue as my connection is rather crappy ?

Anyone noticed hom much bandwith is needed to play it ?

on 1.02 we could play with up to 4 people with nearly no problems ( on below normal speed) now it is horribly laggy for only 2 people.

Anyone have any suggestions ?

We tried Hamachi and Tunngle as a means of connecting.

Bandwidth usage is higher in 1.03 due to some additional host-client checks we added to prevent weird things from occurring if I recall correctly.

I see, thanks for your info. What a shame, with my crappy connection i cant play it anymore .

I thought lag was precisely the reason weird things happened.

Yes but people complained about it so we tried to resolve some lag induced errors by adding more client-server checks which incidentally causes more lag...hmm...not a good solution. :/

I suppose it woule generally work, however for people with slow internet connections like me, it is gamebreaking.

Most of the bugs, like the tech disappearing after loading a save were easy to prevent with just waiting an ingame day before assignning a new tech team.

1.03 is totally amazing otherwise.

Could you guys do some kind of Hotfix for those people like me with bad connections and their partners ? That would remove that checking ?

Waiting a day after what? After finishing the previous project? Would like to know. That bug is the worst I have ever known in the HOI series.

Yes exactly. Like, if the prohect finished 1.1 at 3am, wait at least until the next day begins. the way it seems to me, now that the lag is so bad, it has to transmit massive amounts of data when the day begins. Even in 1.02, when you wait a day after the project finished, we never had the problem again. I kinda lost the damn War because of it, i lost 3 Nuke Researches to that, and got nuked back to the stone age. After that, as i said we always waited a day, and it works.
