Two machines, a DUAL 3.2 Ghz P4 HT running RH ES 4.0 with 2.6
SMP<br>
running one 32 man 32 bit server. One is ranked, one is
unranked.<br><br>
The unranked I have had up to 30 ppl playing in it, and there is no<br>
lag.<br><br>
The same hardware, running ranked, and Geez have I heard<br>
from many, including my sons that they get lag, and often at
critical<br>
points in one on one.<br><br>
In general they tell me they figure they have lives and will get to<br>
lance corp, but will never bother to get 10X lance corp just to<br>
gain another weapon. But on the technical issue, they clearly<br>
have told me, and I have seen similar combat situations on<br>
both servers, and the Ranked server WILL lag, and the Unranked<br>
will not. it is persistent and consistent enough that they
are<br>
getting fed up with Ranked servers.<br><br>
I have shown them the math on the rankings, 24x7 no S, S, S, or S<br>
6 years, you are master gun sgt, or cheat as you see some of them<br>
on the ranked servers with MG Sgt. Do the math... they didn't
get<br>
there legitimately.<br><br>
Anyone know the reason why a ranked would lag in these situations<br>
and an unranked will not? (I got the specs from the admin
running<br>
the ranked server, and I know him. We lease our servers from the<br>
same company (theplanet.com). <br><br>
Any educated insight would be very welcomed.<br><br>
