I seem to be having some issues with accelerating, decelerating along with sliding. When ever press the button to go, the ship seems to take longer to speed up than normal. This is driving me nuts. I looked around here in the forums only to find a thread about the orb 360 having slow response times,...

Kaelan, I dont use the wireless much, except for a friend who lives below me, but what i was thinkin is to use the wireless router as a wireless bridge, connect it up to a new non-wireless router that doesnt have problems routing UDP packets. Its odd really, when im at home and i DMZ my computer, it...

Routers

What type of routers do you guys use? I hear people saying wireless routers are crap and that you should stay away from them. I heard another friend say to just buy a wireless bridge, if i need wireless. I think i may actually buy a new one, just need some direction is all. And im also curious to he...

This just happens on the lan. I was able to see only one person's game, kept lagging out almost immediately. Something else i found odd was the inability to host games. When i host on the tracker with the DMZ machine I open up a second instance (using another port 28343) and look for games on the tr...

Diedel, Yea i tried what you mentioned before (said in previous message) and it didnt work. But, I think I may have found the culprit. It was the Windows Firewall. First i set my router's DMZ to my computer's IP 192.168.0.2, to make sure it wasnt the router. Then i turned off the windows software fi...

Strange it is! I started a direct UDP/IP link. I was able to have 192.168.0.2 to host, then i had my laptop connected to the network at 192.168.0.3 to connect to the .2 host and the game showed up on the join list! If i try to host a plain old ipx game on the network and try to search for it with th...

Darn

Diedel, I tried as you said and opened up two windowed instances. With one i hosted game on tracker w/port 28342. The other i used port 28343 to search for my hosted game on the tracker, there was nothing there. Seems that something (router/cable modem) is preventing me from communicating with the t...

I tried

Well shoot, Thanks for the input anyways Diedel. After opening that port, It still will not give me a read out of the players in game from the tracker. Still seem like something is misconfigured. Perhaps it is my cable modem. Think im going to try it on campus with laptop to prove this theory. -Disc...

Tracker question

Diedel, I seem to be having problems connecting to the default tracker to link up with others. I tried several times to join a tracker game only to have no list. And I know there has to be atleast a -few- people playing during the evening or day. I have given up on Kali because of the numerous NAT e...

Little confused with the Tracker feature

I was a big fan of the Ultra Earthshaker levels, and still am. Anyways, since my return to Kali using the latest version, I ...
