Question for people with a 56k - Page 2

Spade · 02-09-2003, 09:12 AM

I have a 56k modem and most MP games work fine. I was playing Red Alert 2 this morning and it was working perfectly. My brother plays BG2 online all the time and he says it runs just as well as single player.

I play Unreal Tournament 2003 and Counterstrike online and there is a bit of lag but they're still playable.

Somewhere in this group of threads is a reference to checking the real speed you have with your modem or DSL. That might give you some comfort or doubt on playing on line.

I used to play NWN with my 56k and it worked of a way... But you would sometimes get very bad lag. My advice? Play Delta force (The Original) Online. That works well with any amount of players.. Great fun [img]tongue.gif[/img]

BG and BG2 play great with 2 or 3 players, as long as your 56k gets good performance (relatively), and is stable.

Well, ever since my dad got a new computer with a new modem (still 56k), our connection has been 31.2bps, never lower or higher. But on the other computer, we were usually 38bps or 42. Not 42, but 42000, I'm just taking the first 2 numbers.
