Here is a few things Im feeling right now about renegade..
1)I recently started looking into Renegade 2 (or what would have been) and have some pictures, concept videos, and even a set of to-be textures, and was thinking what a great game it would have been. It would have set new w3d records because it used almost 2x the amount of polygons from renegade1! And it would be interesting to see someone, or group pickup where WW left off, and maybe turn it into a mod instead of full game. Also, Reborn is looking very promising and I think it could have a promising future if marketed to a actual retribution company to be sold as a game 
2)Lately I have been angry at XWIS, 1 for what they said on thier forums, and 2 because when I bought the game I payed to play on WW servers that were hosted in the US by Westwood and then EA, but know I have no chioce in playing online this servers that redirect me to europe and have noticed large ping increases since the switch  Like EA cares, but they should have checked that XWIS had the full capility to have the same equitment it did when they gave C&C over

Exactly, it's just like having a firewall, the pings are 996 on the server list, once you're in they're normal.

The pings being 996 is a flaw, that you can fix by getting the xwis tool, and reseting to WOL, instead of the XWIS servers, people have it because at 1 point you needed to be set to XWIS to connect. They fixed the problem, and you can too
Blazer, are you sure nothing else related to bandwidth changed with XWIS? Maybe the way the servers comm. , or something, because I was looking at some ss, and even then I had 50 ping on servers I now have 150 And nothing has changed on my part...

Well when it was on Wol when I had my firewall on servers did that. No big deal.

If you don't have the 999 ping then there's a great possibily that your firewall is not well configured. Because having ICMP blocked is one of the things to make you stealthy on the internet.

The "Ping" you see in Renegade is not from an ICMP echo request/reply. It is most likey done using TCP or UDP packets. My software firewall and router are both configured to not allow echo replies out and echo requests in.. so noone can ping me. With these settings I do not have any problems with the pings showing up correctly in Renegade.

Shouldn't that be, "incorrectly"?

I think people understood what I was trying to say.
-EDIT-
I misunderstood what you were talking about, Renegade does use an actual ICMP ping for the server listing. I was thinking about the ingame ping and how the FDS gets the ping of the players connected to it.

So now we are on the same page, how come we only started seen all the 999's once XWIS came in? Before that WOL would post accurately for most servers. (And i'm assuming they didn't all decide to block ICMP when the ransition was made)
|
The 996, as I explained above, is because when the transition from WOL to XWIS was taking place, at a certain point, you need to get the XWIS tool, and which the WOL IP from WOL, to XWIS to play online. To fix the 996 latency problem, get the tool, and reset it to the WOL IP
