OpenArena Message Boards

Many (and I mean many!) times I get this message. And my connection monitor shows a big fat green line covering from the bottom up to 2/3 of the monitor icon. Then (during this interruption where I can see other players moving etc) I usually get a fat yellow line covering almost a third from the top (which gives me very little space left in the network monitors normal purple color.

Now I know that green means good and yellow means that a package has been rejected. I can't recall seeing red.

This happens more on RN | Tourney 3 and RN | Runs (something) but also on other servers. The average interruption lasts between 5 and 20 seconds. Sometimes I have to quit the game.

What bugs me is the fact that I can see the other player moving and items etc. I just can't move.

I have a really fast connection and I'm using:

maxfps 125
maxpackages 100-125 (i've been trying different to see if it matters)
snaps 40
rate 25000
nopredict 0
timenudge 0
the_command_that_handles_duplicates (default)

Seems it was a problem with the RN (and apparently other) servers. It should be fixed now.

Bumping this thread.

I also get the same problem. Connection interupted every 25-30 seconds but it only lasts 2-4 seconds in my case. What I have noticed is that it is irrelevant to what server I am playing on. I only get that problem if I am using Ubuntu but i dont get that when I play with Windows. I have stopped using Ubuntu to play OA because of this, as I can;t play a competitive CTF game and having connection interruption every 30 seconds

Probably your wifi driver.
Which card/model/chipset you have ? (command "lspci -v")
Which version of Ubuntu you run ? Which kernel version it has ?

Do you get any regular error message regarding this in your dmesg ? (command "dmesg")
