I get about less 20 fps. My main computer's motherboard went out so im on the laptop with a Radeon X1300 :p . dxlevel 8 and 640 x 480 with all settings on low. Sad thing is that im still playing good. I been on the Neowin Server a few times, fun games unless it starts hitting the max number of people them my fps craps out with all the action on screen.

At what ms does the lag start becoming noticeable? I haven't played PC FPS games in years so I have no idea of what is a decent ping anymore.

In most [fps] games it starts to become noticeable at around 80-100ms. And anything above that the enjoyment of a game pretty much starts to disappear imo.

The ping compensation that games like tf2(and others) makes high pings even more difficult to stand. As the constant seeing of hits from shots you know you missed will throw you off a bit.

^At around what time? Each time I was there I saw a few unfamiliar players.

Also, the building exploits for the engineer have been fixed. So no level 3 mini-sentries for you guys anymore :p

Going back to the ping talk, I don't know how you guys can play with 100 or higher ping......higher than 80 is almost unplayable for me. But, I play lots of soldier and pyro (both suffer from high ping due to no lag compensation on their primary weapons) so too high a ping is definitely noticeable and would require you to aim even farther ahead to be able to hit a target. While I admit that over 80 isn't that bad for hitscan weapons, it is absolutely horrible for projectile-based weapons. I personally try to play on servers with around 40 ping, that way if it does increase a little bit, it generally stays under 60....but the most I will willingly play in is around 80.

    • EA launches in-game advertising platform for brands to "connect with audiences"

      By Big John Studd · Posted

      Yeah, this is absolutely nothing new and EA have done it before. Burnout Paradise, released in 2008, had dynamic advertising billboards that were updated via the internet and targeted people based on location and what EA knew about them from their profile. It was particularly notable for the fact that the Obama presidential campaign ran ads in the game, in an attempt to reach a younger audience who didn't watch broadcast TV any more. It was by no means the first though. Battlefield 2142 from 2006 had the same thing. In fact, Neowin wrote a story about it back then. https://www.neowin.net/news/ba...-in-game-ads-clarification/
    • Apple MacBook Neo is a blessing for Windows users, here's why

      This is obviously aimed at the education where Apple has lost so much ground to Chromebooks in the last few years, but unless they come up with a comparable management system for education why would anyone switch back?
    • Samsung is shutting down yet another app used by millions

      Here's how we arrived at that claim: Note that this is just Play Store downloads. The app is also available on the Galaxy App Store

      Google Play states the app had more than 50 million downloads. What other metric do you suggest should be used?
    • what other retro software do yall use

      MSN defined our generation in some ways, kind of like Snapchat and TikTok have done for future generations. I have great memories of the MSN era in the late 90s / early 2000s. In the UK everyone seemed to come home from School and go on MSN for the evening. We didn't really have mobile phones then, so other than going and knocking on your friends door it was a totally new way of interacting with people. I also loved how I could talk to people I’d met playing online games from around the world. Inviting people to NetMeeting and messing about with the shared white board and webcams was pretty fun, even if webcams only ran at a couple of fps over dial-up. All the random things you could do with MsgPlus! were really fun - I suspect that made a few people jump with /shello randomly blasting Mr Hankey out their speakers! Maybe I’m just nostalgic, however I do feel the internet and computers were more fun back then.
