- Instant connect (no more waiting 30 seconds or having to try to connect twice)
|
The way I understand it, the long connect times [for Renegade] are due to having lots of files in your data folder. Renegade needs to make sure that the files in there are compatible with the files in the server listings, and this is actually one of the possible exploits that Cyberpunk has used... tricking Renegade into thinking that the files are the same when they are not. Having lots of files for Renegade to scan means a longer time waiting at the screen while it scans those files. If I am correct, then switching to XWIS should not change the long connect time.
|
I'd love to believe that is true except for the fact that it does the same thing when you try to connect through a relay or Wchat for RA1, for example, it takes just as long and the always.dbs file is bigger than the entire RA1 directory, so k... I don't know if it's only me, but I noticed this started shortly after EA moved Westwood down to Los Angeles.

could it be? the end of all C&C games?
i wouldnt mind whats going on but if this interfers with any of my damm servers there will be hell to pay 
on the other hand every C&C game will change...maybe people will lose taste in ren.
and i hope they get there own Rengaurd cause OMFG how many people everyday come to my forums after being banned saying RG doesnt work....

Renguard goes down randomly A LOT; MORE SO on peak playing time. posting a picture doens't do anything, if you want I can start a log of when it does happen and prove it to you  , but all that will do is give people a reason for not using rengaurd...
The fact of the matter is that BHS is already not bale to fully tackle the renguard project as it is, I rather have a third party that has nothing to do with this team deal with XWIS.
Even though I have very strong doubts that the xwis team can halde a 10th of the current RG traffic.
No matter what you say, gamespy is a more stable always on solution for renegade. Their are better players, less n00bs, and generally more inteligent people playing on it.I personnaly hope XWIS fails misserably and everyone is foreced to play on gamespy... Things will be a lot better.
BTW, Host P/M is very similair to paging, and ladders are completley stupid.

Doubts about reliability will always exist. Tales of downtime are what course through the magic rivers of the universe and will do so unendingly. To move past this snag and prosper should be the goal of all parties. Renguard server usage witheld, the human element is as always the key facet. BHS has the drive and the emotionate passion, for service to this constiuancy. If we should all be so lucky as to have a BHS out there working weekends and nights in the rain and snow in our best interest. Friendly utilitarian angels keeping our serverlists stocked and our phat pipes clear and ready to gorge themselves on juicy juicy packets. Mmm... The argument therefore is not who to support in this wild and crazy scramble for burden, but how to support BHS in your own very special way. Whatever your talent is you can exercise it and help the community at much the same time! So go out there and knit, bake, or paint, and remember... The best things in life are free, the apple doesn't fall far from the tree, and a penny saved is a penny earned.

Regardless of what you believe, I assure you that my RenGuard statistics are far more accurate and detailed than anyone else's. I also know that we upgraded one of the servers that was giving us hassles about 2-3 weeks ago which has significantly improved the overall response time of the network as a whole. Managing this network is something that we do 24 hours a day, so don't even THINK you can talk to me like I don't have a clue what's going on.
Next I will teach you to catch a knife, using only your eyeball.
Furthermore, according to our statistics, roughly 75-80% of all Renegade players play on WOL.
I'm the bawss.
