Ping with satellite is supposedly ridiculously bad. Bandwidth, ping, and packetloss are 3 totally different things. You could have 100 megabyte connection and still have 1000ms ping.

A combination of your resolution or refresh rate is beyond the monitor's ability to display. Check your refresh rate in your profile. Try setting it to .

Interesting. The client draws the red name for the player it thinks has the ball/puck. I can't even think of a packet sequence where you would observe the ball changing possession and not see the names change colors.

How could someone who represents organized religion be respected by anyone?

I am not claiming that politicians make decisions in favor of big business because they feel it is the right thing to do. I am claiming that big business OWNS the president, congress, and judges. They get elected and re-elected (or appointed) because of payoffs. They stay in office because of payoffs. And they stay alive and safe (as well as their families), as long as things go the right way.

Big business owns all 3 branches of our government. Money = law.

Is everyone discussing the same topic here? WTF?

"UK-based security firm mi2g has analyzed 17,074 successful digital attacks against servers and networks. The results are a bit surprising. The BSD OSes (including FreeBSD and Mac OS X) proved to be the systems least likely to be successfully cracked, while Linux servers were the most vulnerable. Linux machines suffered 13,654 successful attacks, or percent of the survey total. Windows based servers enjoyed a sharp decline in successful breaches, with only 2,005 attacks."

Then it must be my quote next to the picture of Faye.

OMG I am quoted in your siggy! I am famous!

OMG you are here now...

If you did this, you could be playing, decide to spectate and get booted to another arena? That would piss me off.

Your ship doesn't disappear. You are probably being put into spectator mode because your connection is bad.

To brighten just the text in Photoshop, use Select/ColorRange to select all black. Then Select/Invert. Then brighten.

Probably means your connection is not very stable. But a maximum ping of 70ms with 0.0 loss over 700 loops is very nice. If you are getting booted for some instantaneous event (like a spike), a sysop should be able to see something in the log. Also, if you can stay on for a little while, have a sysop *trace you from the server.

Nothing wrong with that.

That doesn't help much. What exactly is happening? What version are you using? Do you have a file called exception.log in your Continuum folder?

If the 2 computers' clocks run at exactly the same speed, and there's no change in sync packet latencies, then the 2 ends should stay synced always. If the client is slightly faster or slower, it should smoothly adapt over time (although I think if the client notices that it's adjusting too much it should increase the frequency of sync). If the network has a small spike with the sync packets, there could be a temporary incorrect adjustment. When the adjustment is too large, the client should smooth it out, maybe only 10-20% of the adjustment, and again increase the frequency of sync until it's stable for several iterations.

It's shorthand notation for what's going on. If you receive a packet at 0x0000ffff and the timestamp is 0x0001, you need to find the closest time to "now" that the timestamp is in full 32 bits. The closest value to 0x0000ffff ending in 0x0001 is 0x00010001, so the net effect is adding 1 to the upper 16-bits of your version of the server time. That make sense?

In weighted DoorMode, every DoorDelay unit of time, all door state bits are updated. Bits 0 and 4 are set to (RNG & 1) Bit 1 is set to (RNG & 3) != 0 Bit 2 is set to (RNG & 7) != 0 Bit 3 is set to (RNG & 15) != 0 Bit 5 is set to (RNG & 3) != 0 Bit 6 is set to (RNG & 7) != 0 Bit 7 is set to (RNG & 15) != 0 Each RNG above is a separate call to the SS RNG function. So when I said 2x 4x 8x, it's the probabilities of the doors being "open" over a period of time.

It will, you would just need to bring over your passwords in the registry to match the profile.dat file using the registry export/import functions.

Sounds like you have a copy already running. Check your process list and kill it (or reboot). The other possibility is that you enabled to proxy settings and the specified proxy that doesn't exist. This is a known problem. The "fix" involves checking/editing the registry. HKEY_CURRENT_USER/Software/Continuum/Proxy/Enable If this key exists, set it to 0.

Yes. A better way would be to always send a door timestamp 10+ seconds BEFORE the next toggle, so all clients are basically guaranteed to get it and sync up. Unweighted door mode just randomizes all doors each time. Weighted door mode uses 7 random numbers. One of them affects 2 of the 8 bits--the 2 most "toggling" door, so they stay in sync. The other 6 control the other 6 bits, which toggle 2x 4x and 8x less often. Door modes 0-255 set doors of all 8 types to those bits specifically. A door type is defined by the tile (there are chosen in the map editor.

If you are actually doing everything correctly, which I'll assume, there's another possibility. If somehow the working directory is not the same location as Cont, maybe it's saving a copy of profile.dat elsewhere. Do a search on your harddrive for all copies of profile.dat, and sort by date modified.
