Default network settings (client side)

[dgz]

Hey OA devs.

If you are planning new release, PLEASE make sure you make the following defaults:

snaps 30/40
rate 15000
cl_MaxPackets 100

You know why I am asking for it. I am constantly annoyed by people who won't listen or are scared to put something in the console. So please make those defaults.

And what about the people with slow connections?  Should we just tell them to piss off?

A better idea is to add snaps and cl_maxpackets to a configuration menu (rate is already there).
Note:  this has a better chance of happening in the missionpack then in the baseoa menu.

Hello, these are for modem users (year 1999). Now it's Q4 2007.
No one's connection is that slow nowadays. And putting snaps and cl_maxpackets in the menu won't do any good since most users will never bother with them. I think cl_maxPackets should be forced to at least 60.

Contrary to what you may believe, the majority of the planet still does not have broadband.

The defaults are sane, the discussion is closed.
