56k Optimisation

[Mystikal]

Hello all.

just wondering if this game requires a BB connection, or whether we could use a 56k. if this is BB only, pehaps you could make a 56k version?

sorry if this post isnt in the right forum - i\'m not sure which one to put it in.

yea you can use 56k on this one

i use 56k an i dont get alota lag at all
it seams realy playable

but it seems the servers down co no 1 can conect

Our goal is that a 28.8 modem will work (barely).  We are constantly thinking about that constraint as we implement new features.

To give you an idea of how it is at the moment.. in teh Atomicblue demo I have little if not no net lag (the odd player teleporting a short distance thats about it) and I live on the opposite side of teh world to teh server ^^ as well as a completely differant hemisphere... and... I only have a 56k modem.

So you dont realy have to worry about it ^^... the information you get is basicly just 3d co-ord\'s of the people and creatures around you, weather there running or not, action being performed to update animation etc, and you only realy get stats and the like on a need to know basis.. ie if your fighting the thing in question.. so not alot of information is passed around probably 1-2k a second, and most modems handle that as easy as pie. HOwever Im baseing that on what I assume and have seen in other MMorpgs, im not sure how the coders are coding it for PS.
