merp...I'm flattered that you think I'm so thoughtful. I actually didn't have to think at all :lol:

You're too mature, man! GIMME FIYA POWA!!! :angry:

Congratululululululations on being right.

Selena, if all Staff are so wicked, why did you apply to be a reporter? :lol:

Heh, we're all waiting

We can only write about ourselves <_<

You do not know the POWAH of the Dark Side!! :ph34r: Search your feelings...you KNOW them to be true!! :ph34r:

That post was a little outdated. ^ I figured the problem out while editing my clan's OP, but I've been debating whether or not to edit the MT, because reporters aren't (at least in the Russian forum before the English one) allowed to edit their posts... EDIT: lol whatever I edited it. What happened was that in the advanced editor, the preview looks like this, so it kept screwing me up. :@ Amateur mistake on my part. Sorry about that.

Kool, how did you get the source code? Reiki...spare me please? <_<

Yeah, I remember you had a "gamer PC" from Whatpulse a while ago. Didn't know you actually had the use as "koolwalky". Good stuff :)

That's very good, kool. lol you have a computer devoted to "koolwalky"? :P

Selena, don't overkill it. It was a mistake.

We'd hope lol

Ranger joined after you left...so you weren't forgotten, you just were never...uh...idk forget it -.-

Again, reporters can't edit their topics.

Reporters are not permitted to edit their posts after publication.

kool, my understanding is that every frame consists of getting updates from the game server. Therefore, local processing power and internet connection are indistinguishable from one another. How do you explain the fact that slow computers like netbooks get really low FPS, if connection is the primary cause of lag (lag being the low FPS)? Also, as you obviously know a lot about lag, it would be interesting for me and readers, if you could describe the difference between low fps and lag where your fps stays relatively unchanged, and tanks just drive off the map.

I can't believe it's been a year!!

Well, you can't say for sure exactly what percent of users have lag caused by networking problems, but yes, that is certainly the most probable culprit for lag. However, my point above was that a low FPS IS lag, because it's another form of delay between action and a response, where you seemed to indicate that a low FPS was different than latency.

eehhh...It's kind of hard to understand if you haven't read the prequels lol

That's because in the old forum, the preview size for each individual image was larger than it is here. Also, I noticed a difference in formatting: when I zoom out beyond a certain threshold, the newspaper goes wacky, and when I zoom too far in beyond a certain point, the paper goes wacky as well. Try zooming in and out to different degrees and see if that will fix your problem. Ctrl + and Ctrl - If you are getting something like this, then adjust zoom

The way I interpreted this was that 1) client accepts input, and does calculations, then 2) packet is sent to server, and after the game is updated, one frame is finished. Lag formally defined is "any delay between player action and action of the server", and so, in order for a packet to be sent to the server as an output, the client has to be able to process all the graphics, etc. So yes, a slow computer will make a low FPS, but the low FPS can itself be considered a "lag", as it meets all the criteria needed to be described with that word. You seem to be using "lag" slightly differently than I am. So, a low FPS is formally considered "lag". Local processing power in this context refers to the player's computer. A slow computer (a.k.a. local processing deficiencies) causes lag in online multiplayer gaming.

^That is because the forum requires the newspaper to be divided into sections, and you have to have the right resolution to view it correctly. A mobile device doesn't have the correct resolution.

Well, it makes sense, since there are 3 different images.
