Description

Hi,

I noticed that when hosting games, sometimes a player could drastically slow my response time when typing (up to 10 secs), when the player leaves, the lag desappears.

Wether it has to deal with the player's ping or not is not important, but it made me think of a feature which could be interresting in the lobby.

Show in the battle window, the pings between the players and the host, so that a player will know if he will/won't be able to play the game properly.

To avoid FPS/ counterstrike players to be affraid of a ping of... let's say 250 ms (a rather good ping in spring, terrible in FPS), it could be shown as an indicator (good, medium, bad), or like a wireless/gsm receptions bars (.:|).

Cheers, see you ingame

  • priority changed from major to trivial

#154 before game starts only a ping from/to server can be done and that is not much of a indicator for ingame ping. see also http://spring.clan-sy.com/phpbb/viewtopic.php?f=21&t=14731&hilit=ping


the lag issue in battle window might be looked into tho --> not closing yet
