My 100 mbps network is running so INCREDIBLY slow with games. It takes a full 2 secs for an action to appear on my #2 computer's screen after i initiate it using computer #1. The only game that works smoothly is Descent (yes, the original descent... one of the best games ever imho). I've also tried Rogue Spear and Red Alert 2... no luck. Comp #1: Athlon 1800+ 256MB DDR GeForce2 MX-400 64MB Linksys 10/100 NIC Comp #2: PII 400 256MB SDR Voodoo2 12MB Intel 100 NIC anyone have ideas?
ra2 would work slow on a 400 i no personalily what u really need is a faster #2 computer the other 1 is just to fast for it
have you tried using some kinda of benchmark software to see how fast it actually runs...the network that is.... also what os are you running???
i'd disagree with the 2nd being too slow. I used to to go LANs when K6/2s with Voodoos were all the rage! CS etc was fine on them, even quake3 just as it came out.
i play cs on a 333mhz celeron i was talking bout red alert 2 which runs slow on a 450 k62 it start to run ok on a 600 and q3 run shocking on a 450 amd k62 with a gf 2 mx400 32mb
