[SUGGESTION] Have a Automatic best NET_LAG settings

from Demigod Forums

Hello.
I would like to see an automatic net_lag feature in this game.
Im a Supcom player and the game was locked to 500 (simple way, game should run with no lag if every one is bellow 500 ping)

Demigod seem to have a 200 netlag. So we experience a bit more lag here since we ofter connect to people with 200+ ping and have to manually set the netlag feature to a higher value.

I think it would be great if the engine is brillant enough to auto-ajust this setting base on everyones ping.
So if player in-game all have less than 100ms ping, than the game could be more delay-free and so, more enjoyable.

I hope its possible.
Sorry for my crappy english its not my first language

Yep sounds quite obvious this should exist now that you mention it. Have it on as default setting.

yes, this would be a great option to have.

though it really needs to be obvious to the users, maybe a game option or something?

Well not sure that you guys understand me corectly... I mean to the game engine should be brillant enough to correctly set the NET_LAG parameter without user intervention instead of locking it to 200 and pray that everyone pings to each others below 200 for the game to run lag free....

 

So no user intervention. Just automatic the thing.

I think the warcraft 3 engine does this... not sure tho...

warcraft 3 defaults at 250ms in battle.net (its less for LAN games), but then there are gateways in battle.net so 250 is always enough when you play on your server (250ms is quite much for a game like wc3 though thats why often 3rd party tools are used to have reduce it).
