/web_reload or /gt_connect keep repeating you will be connected

just bring down the console when your on the platform

Don't waste your time with trolls, they just cry "warp" all day

Get your own thread Syncerror.

i would totaly ____ her right in the _____.

Do you still have the one of sponge sucking off sync, sucking off willits?

[img1]

this is actually pretty accurate when it comes to QL

I played with a chick in q3 for like 2-3 yrs...
Had 100's of pics of herself etc...

One day she posted a pic on our clan website...
Of a guy with a sign with all our clan names on it...
and confessed to being a man...

Fucking Canadians...
That was my first Canadian experience.

Hi Dani-Moe if you're out there :P

complete fail

it was funny.

She-man wasn't even the weirdest shit from q3.

A whole clan of s&m freaks and beastialty weirdos lol...
Man i don't how the fuck i came across these people. lol

i was more referring to the fact that QL isn't the beautiful lovely object of desire which it might appear to be on the surface for your average veteran quaker

I figured that. What's really under the hood? Sometimes you don't find out until it's too late.

Reminded me of my q3 past too. lol.

Hasn't QC helped put that comment in perspective?

:D

GOLD

I still visit Esreality mostly for Sonic stuff

and to read some good trolling and have a laugh ofc

Would still bang. No homo.

rofl

upgrade internet

I went from 20 mbit to 1.5 mbit... no difference... yes 1.5 mbit 200kb download rate lol... timewarners 14.99 a month package. 2002 internet.. i'm a time traveler!
There was no difference between the speeds when it came to ql being warpy... and complete shit.

Now i'm back on 20 mbit... no difference.

I'm hard wired to the modem.

The ql network is shit.

Q3 feels amazing in cpm or insta.
So i'll be playing that.
And yes i do have people to play with.
Mind you this server is hosted on a home PC near chicago.
I ping 70-80 there.
Most of my clanmates are overseas.. finnland, sweden, germany, england and my boy from venezuala.
We're all able to play together in q3... not in ql... it's not possible.
I'm the only person from my clan that plays ql... but i'm done now.

Shout out to Tyryl, Blinkin, Agent Smith. Chaos 25 drool, nebula_ prolly see you in defrag :P
Fuck you canadians... julios, teddyboom.. warpy fuckin retards! Shit dodgers who do nothing but strafe right at you yet take no damage...yea that takes skill. Oh look at me i magically warp every time i go u a jump pad or right when quad spawns...

Julios was banned for cheating.. then magically unbanned an hour later.. xou nuked the thread i made about it here... the thread julios made himself at the ql forum..lol.. magically disappeared too. Even posted his email from support about the ban.lol.
Ql is filled with fucking feggets.

Tyryl is a cheater too... but i like him lol.. i find his antics to be funny.

I honestly hate most of the NA community.

you seem normal. it's prob ql problems.

we've played before in ffa lol.
I play under Kimmy_Gibs or DjTanner lol

I specifically remember you beating turd burgler on deep inside..

His reaction was great... lol

hmm it's been a while since i played otherwise i'm sure i'd remember

We both like Busch.. i know that lol

I am not a cheater, dipfuck. but at least you are right about the broken netcode.

LOL the NA community LOL

It's hard to pin down exactly what's going on, but I agree that the game feels totally inconsistent. I'm not sure if the problem is with the servers or their hosting, but day to day the servers feel different. I was recently playing on a server with some regulars, and pretty much everyone was -5% of what their accs normally would be for the map and players. The server felt totally weird, and a few people commented on it, though some apologists said it was 'fine'. It seemed like the hitboxes just weren't where they normally would be. Played several games there that felt like crap, despite 20-something ping. I then hopped on a 65 ping server, and could hit normal accs easily.

A few weeks ago, VA started feeling extremely fucked up to me. I ping 35-40 there, which is perfect, but I'd be shooting people, stop shooting, and then half a second to a second later here the kill sound and see that I fragged them. In some instances, the person would say I "insta killed" them, i.e. they felt like they died quicker than possible. Everyone agreed I wasn't warping, and other people reported the same 'delayed' effect. The usual apologists kept saying the server was "fine", but clearly it wasn't, because not long after, QL staff indicated there was a hardware problem.

Some guys say QL 'downgraded' their servers twice in 2011-2012, though I'm not sure if that means hardware or hosting. Apparently that's when the game started to feel more inconsistent, and 'warp' became more of an issue. I wasn't around for the before/after so no comment.

Ty dawg isn't a cheater. As for Julio... QL staff is very reluctant to ban anyone unless they get a very blatant demo, so I'd love to see what it was that got him banned. AFAIK, he was unbanned because a skilled veteran player watched him play IRL and vouched for his abilities. No doubt Julio is a skilled/experienced player, but that doesn't prove anything, because over the years there have been skilled players known to use custom hacks to gain an advantage. That said, I have never seen him do anything that I thought was blatant cheating, so I have to assume he's legit. He probably hasn't ever cheated, but that just exposes how flawed the whole ban system is.

On my end. You warp. Not always but most of the time. Other people say you don't.
Some people on my end don't warp, but on others screens they are warping.
This shit didn't start until 2012. It was no where near as bad as these days.
It's like watching a ship sink... but it's been taking 3 years lol.
Slow leak. What a pile of shit!.

It's like the games network is built like a p2p torrenting system. Piggybacking mofo's connections.

Tyryl knows i'd destroy him on lan. Where it really matters :P



If i feel the need to frag i have q3 peeps to play with. so no worries. It's all quake.

Everyone on q3 is bad which is why you think it's better

Q3 was coded by competent people.
QL was ruined by a PR rep and an amateur web designer.

there are like maybe 20 people in the world capable of destroying me on LAN. I don't think Gb1MiNiONSP00O)P is one of them.

He couldn't... but Kimmy_Gibs could.
Whole other level.

I am not defending ql in anyway but what you describe is 100% pc problems and/or personal internet problems.

it's only ql that does this.
I'm not the only person that experiences this either.
I've reinstalled my os multiple times.
Switched modems etc.
scanned for malware/viruses etc.

I have no problem downloading from websites or torrenting.
My connection doesn't randomly cut out.

I've tried different drivers for gfx and my mobo and mouse trying to think of anything that would cause this.

Why would i not have problems with q3? My clan mate hosts the servers on the same pc he plays on.
It's just ql. I've even played doom3 to see if that fucks up... and hawken.

I've tried turning demo recording off/on.. no difference.
Full gfx ...down to lego land cfg... still no change.

AAA company hosts game on professional servers... feels like shit.
14 year old game hosted on home pc feels great.

Somethings wrong with this picture.

The quality of online play has gone down hill since 2012... like clockwork.
According to Yakumo when you get the awaiting challenge... that's because that specific server region is actually at its bandwidth limit... or player limit... Basically QL can only handle so much traffic... and id software is pushing that to the absolute limit... 2000 people can't play comfortably on a network that can only realistically handle 1000 people.

An example: The guy who host the q3 server i play at... Once a certain amount of people join.. the server feels wonky.. almost like how ql feels... So everyone has to lower their rate down below 10,000... and when we defrag and there's like 15 people on the server we all lower it to about 3000.. otherwise it feels like shit...
because his connection has reached it's limit.

Only super late night at 3am does the game even feel reasonably playable... and it's still no where near as good as q3. That's when hardly anyone is playing in NA except for all our favorite druggies lol. I can't stay up that late just to play.

I'm no expert on internet shit.. but i think what i've described is accurate.
it's like The ql network ddos's itself by having to many people on lol.

I'll try again at some point... but it's just going to be the same.

The awaiting challenge part was not your fault. This happens to every single person that I know that plays QL. I don't mean on ESR(even though there's been who knows how many posts about that on ESR over time), either. I mean people in friend's list as well as regulars that I've played with and gotten to know and talked to about all kinds of stuff.

It's to the point where even the regulars that aren't in my list(and those that are) will intentionally just sit in spec if they know they'll be tabbed out for a while but not leave their desks. Because if they disconnect, on purpose or due to inactivity, it can take forever to get back into a server. Hours, even, before you can play again.

Awaiting challenge fucking sucks. And you can always tell when it's going to happen, too. Because your friends list in the bottom right of the server list screens doesn't have a number in parenthesis beside it.

Even if none of your buds are online, it should say '(0).' Only, it doesn't have a number at all. And it is then, 100% that you know you'll have to restart QL from desktop and that the Awaiting Challenge will happen, for certain. That's the only 'fix' that I've found for this problem.

net_restart does not help this issue and it affects many people.

Yea that's what has been happening.
Got into a server... left for a bit.. then couldn't get back on forever.

it's BS

It's like "sorry, the game is full... come back later"

What sickens me the most is all the holocaust deniers.. lol.
All the dev team suck ups... "it's your pc.. not ql"
How many years of that shit... pfft.

It took how many years of the community complaining for yakumo and lorfa to finally admit that maybe it is ql instead of reading off their id approved teleprompter.

web_reload do wonders.


Just sayin'.

ok i am not defending ql again but.. the only time this happens to me i just do web_reload a few times in console until chat gets populated by ppl so I get right back on playing. It only happens if i reboot my modem right after I quit the browser so normally it doesnt ever happen.

Really weird, you are describing a completely different community in ql that I am unaware of...

Well, I wish I knew what it was that causes the issues myself and some others have. Maybe I can try again tomorrow, if I get some time.

I miss shooting at lots of green robots. =)

Also, I've tried web_reload in the past without success.

you have to do it a few times in a row sometimes. heard of some ppl doing it 10 times before it works.

This. Then reconnect.

It will connect sooner or later.

Here are more observations:

1. If the "Awaiting challenge" counter goes above 5, then it likely failed and waiting more is pointless.
2. When this happens, disconnect and do a /web_reload.
3. Keep the console open and watch for new messages until the web interface reloads.
4. If it printed "ConnTlsFailed" in the console, start again from 2.
5. Otherwise you're good to go.

I wonder if QL devs still blame DDoS for this problem?

1. I wait only for 3.
2. You don't need to disconnect.

It shouldn't have to be done in the first place though.

Sort of like the the music on full blast bug.... that still isn't fixed.

Scoreboard/ Acc bugs that have been there since at least 2011...

I use rail have hit 7/10 shots... that should be 70% acc.

I don't use the rail again for the whole game, but when i use mg.. it lowers rail acc for some reason.
This happens all the time. I've had games where at the end it say my rail was at 65%...
But in game history it shows below 40%

Unacceptable .

Whats with the get stuck in a wall bug for 3-5 secs.. then being sling shotted across the map?
sliding over jump pads, sliding on the ground like crouch sliding. then literally being reversed backwards to a previous position.
I watched Tyryl do the wall stuck thing on purpose for about 10 minutes one night.
It's happened to me a bunch too.

Lorfa was temp banned on the QL forum for posting...
" neither sync nor sponge actually want to be programmers for this game"

That sums it up for me lol.

you must be troll. this is known issue since start.

everybody have experienced this in ql and not in other game

you don't understand what I am saying.

no i do

as gobotz say. is many peoples like you who say is pc problem, is pc problem. this is shit excuse

it's quake live problem and many have prove this in past. this problem only in quake live, no other game have this issue. if you do not play others game then you do not understand.

this

you don't understand either mr anon.

no, it really isn't.

/ragequit

is bad i agree. connection and download problem all times. why they do not get new admins for game?

.

bobby fischer? D:

zhu in 10 years

This "awaiting challenge" problem has existed from the major steam updates. Nobody has bothered to fix it for quite a while. Players are talking about the future of Quake when the most basic ability to join servers is broken. Each time launching the client and bumping into this problem, I wonder how many new players have simply thrown away the game due to the inability to connect to any server.

Quake is pathetic. The only reason I still sometimes play is due to my stone-age PC which can't even run the most popular games. Else I would throw the game in trash for good, it has no future. The potential has been wasted, anything past this point to contradict and refute that statement means to be very, very optimistic.

I'm betting that 99.99% of players that came from Steam release had no idea about web_reload / net_restart or anything else that could help them connect to a server so they just... erm..... moved on.

Shieeeeet I bet half of them didn't even know how to open the console

gg and they most definitely did not re

Of course they moved on, why shouldn't they move on? And why should they know some console commands at all, out of some hundreds to simply connect to the game?

Man, when a friend linked me to the holysh1t page that tells you how to change your player name colouring in the console, I thought I was legit hacking.

console is srs biz...if it gets into the wrong hands...

knowing team mates locations with the little yellow hats is basically wall hacking :P

Stunning new cvar cg_teamoverlay 1 tells YOU the locations of all your teammates AND their health/armour status; use this bug before id fixes it!!!

been using that since 2000 in ra3 :P

cheating self-bust confirmed

now handcuff yourself, punk/cop

There was also a brief period in time on the focus site where enemies had smaller, red triangles over their head. I'm a bit surprised they haven't put those in yet.

shit is true mother fucker.

20k Viewers Currently twitch.tv spectating QL *_* <3

Obviously i posted this because I was pissed the fuck off lol.
But I'm at least bringing attention to something that's a real problem.
I'm glad other people who experience the same or similar are speaking up too.
I'm also glad for coke sniffing doughnuts!

If we don't bring this kind of stuff up it's ignored.
It's ignored even if we do bring it up lol. I won't be silenced!
But at least with enough people voicing their opinion, the dev team butthole lickers can't keep making
excuses and blaming me and you for id softwares internal problems which directly effect the quality of this game.

Mostly I'm pissed because quake (q3,q4,ql) are the only games I've really played since 2004 and enjoyed.
That's 10 years of basically playing the same game. I had to wait three years after i got q3 to play it online.
My computer couldn't run it the first two, and the 3rd year I didn't have internet. It was the art style that drew me to it. I didn't what strafing was. I just knew it looked amazing, was demonic and you get to shoot shit.

How many companies have a game that has actually been played that long? CS is all I can Think of for multiplayer. It says something about the game. It never gets old and has endless replay ability. No matter how good you are you can get better. No one is hitting 80% lg yet. We still haven't seen anyone win every duel without grabbing a single item, and being a cocky asshole about it.

It makes me sad. Especially after the announcement that it would be on Steam. I assumed things would get better, but it's all just gotten worse.

I guess now all I can do is talk about the game instead of play it.

I'll never be!

Very direct honest words.

I get 100 ping to chicago from California on Comcast. That's some quality routing.

Well i hope you dont leave our disfunctional late-night ffa fam for good.

I only occasionally play these days so quake doesnt annoy me as much, though it must be awful for a new player. Ive become used to logging in over and over just to connect to servers, then immediately turning down the music and resetting brightness. Imagine a steamer wading through that mess.

I to have noticed weird netcode effects, rockets that dont behave normally or the hitbox feeling almost random. I also feel like the toronto servers and a lot of canadians connections are fucked.

It really comes down to is it fun or not? Its not gonna change anytime soon.

It's no longer fun. So I doubt you'll see me again.
GGz

If I do come back It would be for duel.
Rapha can't cut it anymore.
someone has to beat Cypher.

ya duel is the only enjoyable game type left after the update. ffa has virtually zero depth now. ca has no items and is even less like quake and nobody plays tdm.

duel is also hard to enjoy due to the fact that the only servers with playable maps are user spawned ones. theres usually a 20 minute wait just to play one game. they are populated with higher elo generally as well.

im just about there with you, i find i come back less and less these days. ggs

I honestly wouldn't mind getting stomped as long as everything felt smooth. Then I would know I actually did something wrong instead of just being fucked by the netcode or warpy retards.
I'd buy a sub, but I refuse to pay for QL.

I can't perfect my style with the way things are and I don't want to make up a whole new one just because the game is shit.

I've had a lot of fun playing you and everyone else. If I'm really jonesin' for a frag..I'll probably stop in for 5 minutes. It's about all I can stomach anymore.

Get one of your warp buddies to run a duel server... cuz i'm not payin for shit! lol

Can't expect two dudes who don't seem to know what they're doing to fix anything in this game.
They leave bugs and put new shit on top of it.

Put as much frosting on dog shit as you want... it's still dog shit. The initial taste is ok... till ya really sink your teeth into it.

duel is not enjoyable if you are a high level player, unless you have been blessed with magic-warp-avoiding stuff that allows you to hit cypher rockets and k1llsen rails over and over, like, say, davjs or zordonwar or whatever.

for everyone else, it's just as garbage as FFA.

fix you steam

Funny... Polish steam works.

Perhaps Quake just hates you.
https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/74076095/QuakeLive/steam.jpg

When you're as good as I am, I wouldn't doubt it.

It's only working now because I brought attention to it.

I hope Canada sets on fire.

Well I went as far as reinstalling my OS. Still no difference.
This doesn't happen in any other game.

I'm officially done with this bullshit.

i also have this problem and what fixed it for me is opening console and typing net_port xxxx (port of the server that should appear while u're attempting to connect) followed by net_restart.

gl

I shouldn't have to type anything. Why should I have to go to the ends of the earth just to get a game to work? That's the devs job. That's what they get payed to do. You don't get payed to find workarounds for their mistakes.

Thanks for the info though. I do appreciate it. Just making a point.


Fuck QL

The other quakes are good.

[+][+][+][+][+][+][+][+][+][+][+][+][+][+]

Sooooooo f...... right about quake live thingy

get back or you will regret u even came to quake.

You're just bad and you don't understand how online games and lag work

Oh look an internet tough guy.

I will not be playing quakelive again in my lifetime. yes, many have said that. I mean it. and yes, it's because I'm an autistic schizophrenic part-time cheating trolling bed-ridden drug addicted baddie who makes up excuses for losing games.

or close enough.

thought it was cuz you're banned

I always been a Quake fun but let me be honest, Quake-LIVE was never fun for me....

because you think quake is all about spawnfragging. And with every post you are like "oh guys, i cant make it to dreamhack/quakecon", but guess what, most people cant make it there either, and theres no reason you should get there only because you are an "african". In fact, you are arabic or berber, right? So you arent even "really" african.

I reinstall every few months and the past few times I've done it I've run into the "awaiting challenge" error. I forget it exists until I try to connect, then I remember why I uninstalled the last time. and when I do manage to get into a game, everyone bitches at me cuz I'm from Canada and now reading this thread apparently canadian connections to ql servers are balls all-around. I'm probably gonna reinstall again soon to try my luck, then finally try out reflex

also french canadians should be banned for cheating from the get go!

or just banned from earth period, would be a simpler and better solution for everyone involved

Well that's awfully nice of you.

OP is a salty faggot

It took 3 years.
