LOL ! Elmo ! Always good to hear from you.

I did'nt try again yet. I get the "Logon Failed" message, went to Gamespy, my ID is active and fine. I thought forget it, not even gonna bother. But yeah I wanna give it a try. Will try again sometime soon.

I ended up having to use a new name. The old ElmarkOFear, showed up as fine with GameSpy, but I got the message you did when trying to log on. I reregisterd with UglyElmo and it worked.

Go figure. I hope you are as lucky as myself. :)

Take care and see you on the battlefield.

Had some fun games tonight with the RTKs. Looks like I'm gonna have to recruit some old teammates and practice to have a shot at you guys. My rusty ole bones weren't up to snuff.

Not to worry Elmo. When I get hooked up I will fight at your side. My armour and sword are so rusty I can hardly lift them. Our men can keep each other company as they run for the map edge.

laggy but there lotsof options for differing amrys and style of play mainly good opinion so far its good to see people from RTW and MTW meeting up

Why do you guys always confuse lag with poor frame rates?

Lag refers to a delay in the network connection. That is when stuff is morphing around or there are long pauses with connection errors.

Poor frame rate is when things are stuttering and pausing and that is due to your local hardware not being able to handle all the units and not the game or network.

Tex, I believe the game tries to settle down to the slowest PCs speed and if a player has a slow PC and a slow connection, the game speed will slow down to the speed of the slowest PC in the game. So they are connected in away, since this is a P2P game and is not hosted on a server. GameSpy only directs the paths of the data, the host is the actual server for the game.

It isn't like an FPS where the slowest PC is at a disadvantage, while all the other players run at the speed of their own PC.

I may be wrong, but there are those who are much better studied, in such things, on this forum who might be able to better answer this question. :)
