Yeah, when TK use to play era in like 05 or something, he was never yelled at for lag. EVER. We either never noticed it, or just wanted another reason to complain.

I randomly shot up from 120 to 250 >_> but, I think you also need to look at your fps

fps is related to computer not internet and just slows down the player

i still see 100 or so ms when i know im spiking and i also live in america. so maybe i just have the same problem as 187. usually my ms doesnt change but the spike is clearly noticible so i look like i warped to the other player but on my screen that player eats 20 shots and doesnt get hurt. makes me not even want to play anymore

Feel ya, I live in america to, when I'm idling i stay around 120m/s with small spikes, then when i go to pk i start lagging like hell, and anything past 150m/s is unpk-able for me, everything lags, game freezes, players warp, I get mean looks, i then get angry cause this server lags.

thats exactly why i dont pk anymore its the same exact deal for me. by the time the spike recovers a bunch of bullets apear out of nowhere with no place for me to dodge and i have no idea where the person im fighting actually is.

You can entirely fix "eating bullets" and completely synchronize the bullets by adding a time value to the bullet creation packet, and moving the projectile ahead based on what point in time it was created, then from there moving it using delta timing instead of a fixed value per frame.

Or have bullets function on the server side, which is essentially what you're saying but without doing any major scripting changes. But that's been done a couple of times before and the idea seems sound in principle, but the implementation of it has never lasted very long. The problem is the server location geometrically. No amount of scripting genius can account for every single person's lag and smooth it out to make it look seemless to everybody connected.
