Zillvr Posted October 24, 2014 Share Posted October 24, 2014 I've done a bit of research on this with little to no definite results. I just simply want to know if I am understanding the situation perfectly. Listed below are my questions: Is lag affected by the geographical distance of the player and host's PCs? If yes, by how much(i.e. It accounts for 90% of overall lag)?Does the host and/or player PC specs have any effect on latency or lag experienced between player and host?Is there a thread/topic within the DST BETA forums about the specifics on hosting servers and how it's technically done in the background? (I've searched, and came up empty.)Correct me if I'm wrong: • Host - DST user that creates the server. • Player - other DST users that join that server. • Latency - is for how long an input from a player reaches the host/server. • Ping - is a test for latency between player and host/server. • Lag - is the actual delay experienced by user that is caused by latency and all other aspects of the network between them. All my knowledge about these things are google-based and I'm almost sure most people are the same, that would be looking for answers to these very same questions pertaining to DST. So if you do have knowledge to share, please bear that in mind. Disclaimer: If any of these questions have been answered elsewhere, I'm sorry for posting these question and please kindly direct me to them as my search for answers had no definite results. Thank you for your time. To moderators, if I've posted this in the wrong section, feel free to move/remove/close this topic at your own discretion.

Kukela Posted October 24, 2014 Share Posted October 24, 2014 I literally just posted a thread on the main page to collate data so we are better able to determine what causes this lag. Asking these questions is smart but currently no-one knows the answer because of the beta nature of the game plus a lack of data. Therefore feel free to continue to my thread with the data points requested so we can better answer your question.

You've got this handled than I ever would have though. Here I was only asking questions without doing anything about it like you. I'll link your thread into OP. See you there kukela.

Kukela Posted October 24, 2014 Share Posted October 24, 2014 It's good to be on the same page. Lets hope we can spread it around and I can munch on some data.
