Title: Serious Delay Post by: Dustin on July 23, 2008, 11:46:33 am Michael, do you know what the problem is with the erratic connection to bbs.operationoverkill.com? I jump into the Expert game and experience serious buffer/lag/delay, whatever you want to call it, every time.
I feel like I'm playing at 2400 baud again. ;D I'm using the same telnet program on other BBS sites without problems. It seems to be the worst on the main HQ site! Ouchie. What can we do to fix this? -Dustin Title: Re: Serious Delay Post by: Suprax on July 24, 2008, 07:52:15 pm agreed - I went into the Novice game yesterday and the delay is almost not playable. although I can play if I wait long enough for each screen to re-draw. :)
I also used Telnet to the BBS - dont have the ooterm. so I took Dustin's advice and just logged in through Telnet. (still trying to remember how to play.. LOL ) Suprax Donna Title: Re: Serious Delay Post by: Tarix on July 25, 2008, 02:18:35 pm What can we do to fix this? I think the only full solution is to find a host for it somewhere. It's pretty smooth when I connect to it in the middle of the night so I guess you are probably just using it at the same time as the owners of the DSL line it's on. ;D I'll try to find some solutions soon since it seems like I'll have a lot of free time this summer. Title: Re: Serious Delay Post by: DamFrawd on October 12, 2008, 05:26:32 pm I've played both night and day.. and the lag on your system simply drove me bonkers. It was the main reason I haven't truely been active
on the Headquarters BBS for the last coupla years. I still play OOII on perhaps as many as 15 - 20 other BBSes. I have only about 4 or 5 listed in my "slow/stuttery systems" game notes. I also mainly use windows telnet to play. I saw no difference on your system useing the OOII term prog.

Also, the game there has active players. I'm using the new SyncTerm w/ Overkill and loving it!
