There is no vehicle lag since the second version, so stop complaining about it.

This mod is great, absolute top.

Are there enough servers ? I'd like to try out something new.

 

[Insano]

There are several good servers. Best servers are imo the STORMED servers.

Although it may still seem laggy to everyone used to CS and Q1, please keep in mind that the mod is very server CPU intensive and that that is the biggest source of "lag". A decent setup with a a moderate player limit has no problem handling it.

Unfortunately, the official server is kinda crappy. Still a lot of fun.

There's plenty of servers, just very little with 10+ and those are usually full. Empires is kind of a hard game to get a server filled, it only gets fun with around 10 players. Full servers are a blast.

Thanks for the information, guys . I will try it out as soon as i come back from California...

Just FYI, there's a small patch (1.071) released that fixes some problems. Grab it from the main site.

No, pings are pretty good. 60-100 ping if you're near the server, around 200 if you're cross-continental. The fun thing is you can still play without people rubberbanding all over the place with 200 ping (This is for a full server of 26 players)
