I recently DLed PRM and all the servers that i play on have extremely high ping(usually 150+) for me. Are all the servers in Europe or somewhere or does the mod require more bandwidth than BF2 or what? I usually get about 50-70 ping in US BF2 servers, so I am greatly confused. Those of you that play this mod, i would appreciate your responses.

Yes, my ping is also higher. I usually have about 20 - 50 ping but with PRMM I have about 100 - 130 ping.

QFT, but that can be fun. Other times, it can be one of the greatest frustrations in gaming, due to its level of skill that is required to win.

Its difficulty is what makes it fun. You can't just go Rambo with a G36-E...

Definitely, but what I want to know is where these servers are and why a lot of us get crappy ping.

It's more about who can load the fastest and have decent aim while camping at the first flag in a good position. Yeah, the pings seem a little higher.

I had a really good server yesterday with a ping of only 34.

However, it was a tad unstable - some people got disconnected.

Settings to find servers:
Unranked
Punkbuster (optional)
Ping 100
Same mod
Same version
No password

Etc.  I can't remember it all.

My ping is actually lower on PR than on Vanilla.  Normally I would get 60-80, but now I get ~ 40-50.  Not much of a change, but its noticeable.

I've noticed that the ping is a little higher, infact it seems like that with most mods. Doug I want to play with you.

i don't know what ping i would have on vanilla because i have not played it......
But you can have a higher ping on a PR server without having problems...

You could actually play without problems with 250, and what i'm told.. that’s impossible in vanilla...

less servers mean less chance of having one near you, so yeah I often find more higher ping servers.

However even pings of high hundreds don't seem to make a difference, while I can barely stand over 100 on vBF2....

I don't really understand that, or how you guys could do it better then they guys who made the game

and congrats on getting the forum here, Ive been wondering when this would happen.

Yeah, I think most servers are out of the states. Seen a lot of European servers.

Not true.  In PR, at a ping of 204, two minutes into the game I was still lagging so badly (and my rig's not that bad) that the view updated once every second and the sound was choppy at about the same speed.

200 ping will destroy your sanity.

Could it have something to do with the map??
Maybe a special case because it's no problem playing PR with that ping as far as i know...
