Multiplayer erratic behavior & bad performance : Network settings ?

[MadisonV44]

Hi guys, reading carefully the 9 pages thread about performance confirms that the performance issue we all encountered since 1.105 were more related to memory usage and network code than the graphical engine itself. In addition, we all noticed that performance issues happened mostly in MP mode.

 

Here are my observations : 

 

1) Very populated zone on MP servers still suffers of very bad and erratic behaviors of planes (Airbases, combat zone, flying several planes in close formation, approaching multi-seats aircrafts bombers ...). As a result, what you see and what happening in the game for others players is not synchronized.       

 

2) Depending on the LOD and distances the angles and position of planes are not always accurately reproduced. I mean, it seems, that very quick change of angle due to quick rudder correction or swift action on the stick are not transmitted at certain distance (or lost with the data packets ... )

 

3) Very rare documentation on the network settings. Except the recommandation found in Developer Diary #65 and a very short note in the BOS user guide I didn't find so much materials on this subject.

 

4) A lot of pilots are not sure to understand well the Devs recommandations on the network settings :

• Find out the speed of your internet connection 
• Divide this number into 4;
• Put the result into the Downloading speed field (if the test result is 10Mb/s or less, put 1 or 2 into the settings);
• Uploading speed may stay default which is 1Mb/s (but you may down it to 256kb/s is your uploading speed is limited for some reason)

A few month ago Mastiff also gave us some additional advices : "also try your multiplayer up and down internet setting could cause this, if your running 10 up and 10 down this is the wrong way, it should be half : i.e 10mb down if your isp is 60mb. and 4mb to 6mb up if you up load is 8mb up. so mine is at 10mb down 4mb up" 

 

So here are my questions for you guys :

 

- Did you noticed strange network behaviors as described in point 1 & 2 ? 

 

- Whats are the exact rules to apply regarding network settings ? 

 

- How do you fine tune your network parameters in Statup.cfg

 

- Can you share your numbers (including Internet connection figures) ?

Is there any chance to share experience and network config tips ?

I'm trying different settings.. but nothing happens. And most of us had many network problem but only with BoS multiplayer session.. other games, from DCS to Il2:CloD seems to be all right.
