Tickenest Posted September 1, 2007 Report Share Posted September 1, 2007 swos showed me something quite revolutionary tonight: a kaillera client that makes kaillera into a p2p application instead of client-server. Kaillera p2p client I've used it and it's legit as far as I can tell. The instructions for installation are all there and yeah, it's a little weird to set up, but this should really help with Gens netplay, mainly since it equalizes ping for both players. I was playing with swos tonight and he called it the best connection he's ever had against a North American player (he's Finnish). We should give it consideration for future leagues, especially in cases where there's a real ping discrepancy. Again: READ THE INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY. Yes, you have to have CAPS LOCK on when you start up Gens for it to work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tickenest Posted September 12, 2007 Author Report Share Posted September 12, 2007 I'm bumping my above post because I feel like it and more people will see it now. If you don't like it, well...ok, we can still be friends. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
backhandfloater Posted September 17, 2007 Report Share Posted September 17, 2007 Why arent people jumping all over this? Anyone else try this yet? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tickenest Posted September 18, 2007 Author Report Share Posted September 18, 2007 I'm guessing nobody really gets the ramifications of it i.e. equalized ping for both players and no reliance on a server. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Evan Posted September 18, 2007 Report Share Posted September 18, 2007 Hey man, don't have to tell me twice. This could be the answer for international Gens play. Tick, so what's been your experience so far? If it's smooth with Swos, this could be excellent. Zbattle is similar, and I've had much better smooth connections using that over Gens. Give me a 36-hour day and we could research this quickly. -Evan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CamKneely Posted September 18, 2007 Report Share Posted September 18, 2007 It's not foolproof. There is still some lag and dropping issues. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Odd, but I still think it's promising because geez, it worked well with the Fins. swos called it the best connection he's ever had for a transatlantic game.
