Guess what? I got capture the flag and its suffering like matrix and gs. I've discovered the computer's are sendin LOADS of packets to each other and reaching ridiculous amount like 4000 host-to-client packs and 700 client-to-server packs. On all the above mods. this normal?
That kind of traffic sounds fairly normal to me. Of course, I have no idea what sort of network you're using. If you're running Quake II over IPX, you should really think about installing some sort of TCP/IP protocol on the systems. IPX is a very noisy, unrouteable protocol that can cause laggy performance and connection timeouts all by itself.
Install the TCP/IP protocol, then assign each machine an IP address (192.168.1.1 and 192.168.1.2 would work fine) and a subnet mask of 255.255.255.0. Then they'll be able to communicate via TCP/IP.
Also, it'd really help if you'd identify yourself on here. Otherwise no one can tell if it's 'you' posting, or someone else that hasn't typed their name in.
