QoS packet scheduler and Warband
« on: October 26, 2011, 11:52:55 pm »

I've been messing around lately with my network setting in pursue of finding a solution for laggy input or late animations, found QoS packet scheduler and turned it off for a try. While it seems that it helps with input lag, aka my character reacts way better, I have the feeling that it might be causing weird things.

Any gee....specialist can give an opinion on this matter? ;)

What kind of "weird things"? Not that I can help, but I think I'm sometimes experiencing same kind of laggy input problems.

The QoS packet scheduler will only change the way your internal (LAN) transmissions are scheduled (important packets are given high priority and scheduled first).

I don't think it can influence your external connection. Maybe if you have a lot of internal communications going on.


edit: I was interested and found this: http://forums.speedguide.net/showthread.php?190110-Qos-Packet-Scheduler

put simply they say it's best to deactivate it.

I'm sure it affects the performance of my game in terms of network connection. Like when its off players sometimes seem to be tearing.

I tried it on win7 pro and I couldn't see any website  :?. I didn't tested playing though.


If the game netcode implicitly relies on the behavior of this feature, then you will probably get crazy things/crashes at times. But since I don't know how they did it, how that QoS thingy exactly influences packet scheduling or how it could have consequences...  :mrgreen:
