dedi Posted December 15, 2013 Share Posted December 15, 2013 Hi As probably anyone knows there is a Connection Quality checker in CNCNet 5 client, and as far as i know its not really working properly. It would not be a big problem, but i experiencing it's bad side effect. It says i have _very bad_ connection but usually i don't have any problem while playing (i can say it's going with full speed) with others. BUT i can't play with them so many times, they just ban me (if they don't know me) thinking the game will lag because of me which is not true. I don't know how many people are interested in this case, but it's really annoying me. Thank you for listening me. dedi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FunkyFr3sh Posted December 15, 2013 Share Posted December 15, 2013 It is very very hard to get "very bad", i changed the code for that a while back try to do some ping tests in the client and check your ping (/ping google.com) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dedi Posted December 16, 2013 Author Share Posted December 16, 2013 Well /ping google.com Result: N/A .... SO then i found the problem... You can set in some firewalls (in this case in my router) to block ping requests. So it seems you check quality with ICMP Ping. Just a toguht: maybe you should use an IRC related pinging ("Ping? Pong!"), which can resolve this problem, and maybe not a big deal to accomplish. Well, ok, thanks for the help anyways. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FunkyFr3sh Posted December 16, 2013 Share Posted December 16, 2013 that is weird, my router also got this option .. but its only for pinging the router directly it should always work even if you disable that in your router (almost all router got this disabled by default) irc ping is not reliable sadly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dedi Posted December 16, 2013 Author Share Posted December 16, 2013 Yes its not the best solution (irc ping). Well, ok. I dissbled that ping blocker feature, so i'm enjoying my "very good" connection quality Thanks for your answers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lightning Posted December 29, 2013 Share Posted December 29, 2013 I find that if I go into a game and it says connection is 'bad' or 'very bad' as does happen sometimes, I can leave game back to the main lobby, then immediately go back into the same game and my connection is suddenly 'good' or 'very good', why would this be?

FunkyFr3sh Posted December 30, 2013 Share Posted December 30, 2013 that means your connection is unstable, a good connection would never show bad or very bad it only tests it for 3 seconds, that means it could jump from good to bad if someone is watching a youtube video or something on the same connection Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
