I found this on the web and not sure if it will work and by console does he mean legions s console.

Reduce your ping in game



I found a way to reduce your ping in game. There might not be as much of a difference for some as there are for others but I was able to get a 30% reduction in ping which is huge.

What you want to do is take notice to your maximum FPS in game and to do this you can type in your console:

seta cg_drawFPS Simple

Let's assume it comes back at 90 fps consistently then you want to set your maxpackets the same and here is the code to do this.

seta cl_maxpackets 90
seta com_maxfps 90
- where 90 is replaced by whatever number you come up with on your system for FPS.

Code:
$Pref::Net::LagThreshold = "400";
$pref::Net::PacketRateToClient = "16";
$pref::Net::PacketRateToServer = "32";
$pref::Net::PacketSize = "400";
$Pref::Net::QueryLan = 0;
$Pref::Net::RegionMask = 2;
Take a look at these. Changing those might work.

The only way u will ever get better ping is by having a better international internet connection! You can't fool the all-mighty internet on weejunz!

4 gb ram is good for leejunz?:confused:

Not the perfect place to ask anyways.

We use to do that ^ in tribes 1, it was hardly noticeable.
Eh? Do clarify, I don't recall ever discussing this on this game. lol

Guess I'll start. lol

I've done similar things on other games, namely Mechwarrior 4 back in the day. The effect is only noticeable if your're on something with minimal bandwidth, like dial-up, and even then, it's more designed to compensate for lags in other areas of your machine.

Ping is just a connection latency measurement. Generally, lag spikes have more to do with packet loss than anything else, and most of the lag you'll experience has to do with that or other networking issues. If you have a PC made in the past 5 years, and a non-Intel GPU, the PC itself, physically, (with the possible exception of RAM) is one of the last places you should look. If you want to improve ping, (a) get a good network adapter, preferably wired (as wi-fi is more prone to packet loss); (b) a good router; (c) a good modem; (d) ask mommy for a better internet connection. These are the main bottlenecks that you can actually do something about. However, nothing can fix the lag between me and, say, the Singapore servers unless I pack my bags and learn to take a cane in the rump (because I'd totally make trouble if I moved there.)

Clarify what?
We use to change packet rate/size in Tribes 1
Default was this i think.
$pref::packetRateToServer = "16";
$pref::packetSize = "200";
And most of us used these settings, but you couldn't tell a difference.
$pref::packetRateToServer = "32";
$pref::packetSize = "500";

Apologies, I clicked the wrong reply. I intended to discuss your comment and ask Abandoned about his. Stupid me posting in the wee hours again :oops:

Dammit Metreon, you got my hopes up there :(

That's what I wanted clarified. Lol.

Oops, I might have not been quite thinking properly then, I was supposed to mention _Dominator_ instead of you. Heh, I'm still confused why I put you down instead.

Killing this thread - the original post is clueless and people are stabbing at "solutions" without actually bothering to understand the settings.
