I have new respect for the network coding of this game!

from Sins Forums
Just to let everyone know... I just played a game of sins online on a 28.8k dialup connection, about 1/2 to 1 seconds lag time between actions and receipt of actions, so no competitive playing for sure, but IT WORKS.


Yes, I thought this should go into the technical forum b/c it obviously must be a bug in the game. Even old games that I've played that are DESIGNED to run on dialup don't work this well.

God bless you IC, God bless.

Yikes, must have taken an hour to post on this site.


But hopefully 1.1 optimizes this even more, and allows you to have alittle less lag.

actually once the site has loaded the first time its not too bad, at least for this site. takes about 5 mins, but only around 20-30 seconds/page afterwards. Picture heavy sites are ridiculous though. 10 mins + for ebay if I happen to clear my cache.

But hopefully I get out of this place where I'm stuck on dialup before 1.1 comes out, not being able to download new stargate: atlantis episodes is making me actually have to attempt to watch them at the right times on the space channel :S
