Anybody having issues with PB should get this little nifty tool to update the files. I had to use this since after patch 1.02 i was also getting kicked by PB for upate time out errors.

but thus far i am getting more laggy gameplay with 1.02 than with the supposedly leaky 1.01 patch.. go figure...

WiseCrack said:Ah thanks for this nifty little tool. Whats lag
lag is when you get SGS running both 64 player servers on the same PC, thus sometimes you get laggy moments... and even ADSL 512 users get it too... the worse thing is that the 32 player servers are smooth but they are not ranked even if advertised so.
sad... me going to play WoW until EA fixes their leaky patches...

Finally got a promotion. It really hasn't been easy trying to play this game with a broken finger. The one that pushes the W key. And of course it is strapped to the A finger. Going backwards never seems to get there and it's always turning right in circles for me.
Still 'just one more game'.
Would there be any point in trying to configure a joystick to do this? I tend to stay out of helicopters and jets - I tend to bend them. Can anyone send a good keyboard to joystick map?

LAG is the time it takes for person A in the game to see what person B is doing.
A - Person A is standing still. Person B is standing still.
B - Person B presses fire.
C - Person B receives the message that person A has pressed fire.
The time between B and C is simple LAG.
Now - when 64 people are playing, person A must get the "I've Fired" signal from everybody (If they all fire at the same time), and this compounds the lag.
To compensate for lag, the game will project the location of things and stuff, and then when it finds out that it's projection is untrue, it'll correct it.
e.g. you'll have a person running flat out at you, and then suddenly appear to have stopped 10 feet back, because the bloke started running - message was sent to you, and you saw the bloke running, then the bloke stopped, pulled out a rifle and shot you, but the LAG was so bad that all you see is a bloke still running at you, and then suddenly you're dead.
That's bad lag.
