My bro has 56k and we just want to play some tourney 1v1 without him lagging to hell. Here is what we tried but he is still studders a bit and doesnt have a chance in hell. Q3A was very playable in 1v1 over 56K or 33k for that matter. So maybe something can be done. These were placed in autoexec.cfg. What else can we do?

Code: Select all

seta net_clientMaxRate "6200"
seta net_clientUsercmdBackup "0"
seta net_clientPrediction "100"

In game options he has it set to ISDN if that means anything.

Sorry, but I dont think you're gonna have much luck. ISDN is pretty much the bare minimum.

Not much of a point, with a connection like that he would just be playing to lose.

the problem with 56k modems is mostly their latency (lag, ping).

they may offer very low bandwidth but the bitch is their latency is very high even on servers that are next door, or on the same isp a block down the street.

they would do 1vs1 moderately nicely if that wasn't the case.

games usually don't need more than a 256/128. after that, it's mostly ping that counts
