Spring RTS Engine

Ever noticed that the ping is not the real ping but a cheap cover up?
It multiplies the frame delay by 33, so if you are playing at a speed of +10 your ping gets 10x bigger and the reverse applies for lower speeds, so no, lag doesnt make your connection faster

what........?:?

Um, no, playing at a higher speed in spring forces several times the packets to be sent and results in a massive increase in lag.

ping is internally measured in frames, that's all. Other than that, ping calculation is how it should be. When the game goes faster it's only logical that the delay relative to the game gets higher too.

Also realize that it's different from an FPS or something else without sync, because spring has to keep up with every frame, while with an FPS the client can skip game frames (Or not even run them).
