Now that you mention it, ping/latency is something that has bugged KF ever since KF2 release. Every server I play on (except for a couple) tend to have at least 200ms latency, but it doesnt really seem to effect Gameplay. There is one server that I think is a German one (dedicated, Gibberstein I believe) and it has an amazing ping, whenever I play on here I have maximum 80ms ping.
Makes you wonder whether its the coding of the mod, I admit I have no idea, all I know is that it doesnt effect LAN, there is no latency what so ever!

Or it's because server admins don't see it beneficial to use their most powerful machines on another zombie survival mod, and therefore host it on rubbish machines...and with a rubbish connection. Or the user created maps! With their evil uni-zoned map....with not even a single anti-portal! Filled with pathnodes, lights, emitters, dynamic light! All spewing itself at the poor poor server who also has to calculate for the entire map...where the specimens are...where they are going...are too many going that way...should they split up...should they stay there, who to attack, and where everybody is. Then you stick all these silly mods on top of it just to add an exclamation point on the sentence "KF is bugged", meaning the server has to calculate all these silly level ups...different guns...how the specimens should react to the different guns(They dont react but its still calculated anyways), and calculate the random pickups that appear over the map... I blame user creativity with nien responsibility of their actions and effects on the server itself. Not KF being bugged.  |

Although most user created maps are good, its always better to host on either official maps only or maps you know have been created by users you know have done a great job.
There are some amazing maps out there, but there are some horrible nasty ones too, what makes me laff is that lots of servers host these nasty maps! Its like they just add every single map they see without even testing them first, this also makes KF look bad as the map itself is crap!
Once the patch is released with the bug fixes, I really hope they improve Net play, I just hope most server admins update, there's many servers out there that dont even know a patch is being made, ahhhh!

I had got a powerful box should be more than enough to handle the zombies. And an ok connection bandwidth to handle the pressure. It had been proven by me travel to high pings server & no problem for me. Though I am abit worried for the router. Hope it still going strong.
I used the old box for gaming kf though. Hope to get a better one soon.

Yo kf2cool, I’m a regular player too to Killing floor, played since day one, I’m a good experienced player, know a few tactics and skills learnt, tend to jump in some times without thinking, but that’s just some time’s to save other of my team mates, and just having fun. There are a lot of very good players out their in the KF committee, such a PIX, XPC Member, played once with the XPC member on there server and got banned first game, that was good. This site has a list of common players, some might not play anymore thou. as PIX says requires updating. perhaps when ive got some time and not playing KF i'll have a go and update it www.killingfloor.freedomsnet.net/wiki/stars out |

Shotty and Winchester.
I play, but none of the servers agree with my computer so I can't really do anything other than bots.
