kizvandutch Posted November 19, 2017 Posted November 19, 2017 So ww2 is having issues but with my battlefield reactive has a better experience. You know why vid games don’t play good with reactive?
pollutionblues Posted November 19, 2017 Posted November 19, 2017 I find reactive works best for me as do many others. Other people find preemptive works better for them, it’s really down to experimenting with the algorithms and finding what works best for you.

kizvandutch Posted November 20, 2017 Author Posted November 20, 2017 ww2 is killing me right now! i need a optic fibre connection in my area but its delayed installation...
Dan Posted November 20, 2017 Posted November 20, 2017 Am on fibre A+ bufferfloat ping 7-8 ms. Very stable line. I'm get slaughtered too. Think their code really punishes the low ping high speed users. Also same happens on BF1 where I am usually the lowest ping (typically 30-40 ms to next lowest ping player). Don't assume games will be better magically with fibre. Duma can't help in these situations either.
mitja1980 Posted November 20, 2017 Posted November 20, 2017 Me too. Am on Fibre optic and after the dedicated servers gone back up i have the toughest time in COD history. Bullets don't register. I don't know what to do any more
Dan Posted November 20, 2017 Posted November 20, 2017 I'm in the UK and Duma wasn't putting me on dedi's. I blocked the only one it found in Belgium which was unplayable and thereafter only found P2P games.

I blocked the only one it found in Belgium which was unplayable and thereafter only found P2P games. So you temp-banned a dedicated server in Belgium which led to you only connecting to P2P games? Did this ever change, i.e when the temp ban ran out did you connect again to the Belgium server?
Glazeko Posted November 20, 2017 Posted November 20, 2017 How do u have proof of reactive having packet loss?

Dan Posted November 20, 2017 Posted November 20, 2017 Stayed on P2P as I never saw Temp Ban button again only the Update button which I believe means P2P

Dan Posted November 20, 2017 Posted November 20, 2017 I was looking at the statistical data at the bottom of dslreports where it says something like lost frames and lost ms or words to that effect
pollutionblues Posted November 20, 2017 Posted November 20, 2017 I was looking at the statistical data at the bottom of dslreports where it says something like lost frames and lost ms or words to that effect Honestly, I would take anything that dslreports says with a pinch of salt. The best way to test your line quality is by downloading PingPlotter and pinging twitter.com. It’s a far better indication of your line quality than dslreports.

The best way to test your line quality is by downloading PingPlotter and pinging twitter.com. It’s a far better indication of your line quality than dslreports. It happens to me too. 100% reactive is fine but anything else causes me to have anything but a 0% packet re-xmit stat. Unticking share excess does the same too. I get 0% with any combination of sliders on preemptive. However this doesn't happen on firmware 1.03.4, which I was using for quite a while thanks to the 1.03.6 GUI slowdown when using port forwarding before UPnP started opening port UDP 3074 by itself. DSLReports test should be taken with a pinch of salt, of course, but I've tested this probably a hundred times now and it occurs regardless of the server in use lol
Glazeko Posted November 21, 2017 Posted November 21, 2017 But dont u want 0 packet loss? So how does reactive perform worse or give u packet loss. Reactive for me gives me more stable pings while my line is being hammered by the people at mt house. Preemtive heps but the ping spikes are a little higher.

Reactive for me gives me more stable pings while my line is being hammered by the people at mt house. Preemtive heps but the ping spikes are a little higher. You'd think absolutely zero packet loss with that latency and jitter would be amazing. Apparently not lol I have noticed that reactive seems better when the line is being hammered as you say though. If I download something I can drop it to just 97% on reactive and there'll still be next to no jitter, whereas preemptive seems a little more unstable and you get the bandwidth drop too. 100% preemptive gives me like 75% of my download lol
Dan Posted November 21, 2017 Posted November 21, 2017 Could argue all testing tools inflate results. Only using dslreports as a comparison tool I.e. Test, make a changes, test. Repeat to check result consistent. Ping plotter may be another option however I can monitor ping in game where jitter is less than 1ms so ping doesn't appear to be the culprit. Suspect lag comp is the culprit and the developers lag algorithm has the decimal point in the wrong place. Perhaps if they insist on following this approach (and forcing a fictitious game outcome) then they should put up the proposed game scoreboard at the start of the match and let us decide whether we want to play that lobby.

It's so random you might as well just pick a captain for each team, flip a coin, call it and go back to the prelobby lmao
SwiftCookie Posted November 21, 2017 Posted November 21, 2017 DslReports never shows me Bufferbloat anymore, not sure why :/
Munky Force Posted November 22, 2017 Posted November 22, 2017 DslReports never shows me Bufferbloat anymore, not sure why :/ I've had this problem for the last few months. The graph /dial pops up for a second then disappears.
RL317 Posted November 22, 2017 Posted November 22, 2017 I've had this problem for the last few months. The graph /dial pops up for a second then disappears. I tend to get this randomly. Sometimes a bufferbloat grade shows up as just a dash in a grey circle too lol I normally just need to reload the test and nine times out of ten the dial will reappear.
