Post subject: Question: Why do not use, SlowFrameCheck?

Misc:SlowFrameCheck:0:1:Whether to check for slow frames on the client (possible cheat technique) (flawed on some machines, do not use)

How is it flawed?

Misc:SlowFrameRate:0:35:Check whether client has too slow frame rate to play (0=disabled, 1-35=Frame Rate limit, if < than this, kicked)

There are some suspected cheaters doing something w/ their FPS--
as their ping is really low, and yet they hop around the screen.

They're using Cont .38; but I'm not exactly the sure of the signs - and don't want to falsely ban them (or allege they're cheating).

I don't know how SlowFrameRate works, but I know what my client does when I come back to playing from alt tabbed mode.. it stays at 2-4 fps for like 2 seconds. I wouldn't want to get kicked for that.

frame rate depends on your cpu, and video card ram...

i usually get 20s in FPS when im around heavy .lvz backgrounds (16mbit-32mbit)

i also get frame spikes that goes 10-20s

yet my ping is low because my bandwidth is great (dsl) (except for the stupid negative packet loss)

AND REMEMBER, there are a great many subspace players that have crappy computers and can only play in zones with little to no .lvz

which is why u dont see more players in Metal Gear CTF, and other .lvz heavy zones (.lvz bgs) as opposed to extreme games and Trench Wars

Well, I have a crappy computer and mine runs limited with 60fps. But yah, the zone itself isn't LVZ intensive like those you mentioned.

some ppl have crappier computers that can barely maintain a 20 fps
on NON lvz zones =\

and i dont see how low FPS can help a player...unless you really enjoy sudden deaths from enemies that suddenly pop out of nowhere and u just die

Well no one should play w/ an extreme low FPS.
