Chainsaw Lag
« on: September 16, 2016, 05:01:05 pm »
Hi everyone!
I just noticed that there's a problem within the use of chainsaw and the lag of the target.
I go into details:
So if I have 50 of ping and my target (enemy) has 300, I can see that I engage him in my chainsaw but than he run away without hp loss.
Meanwhile I am an easy target for him cause my ping is only 50 and so if he engage me I would not run away as my ping is stable.
This is a real trouble when it comes to chainsaw challange.
We can fix it by setting a maximum of ping (ex 150 or less) to allow the usage of the Chainsaw.

It's very annoying, but lag affects both sides. Laggers also struggle badly to catch someone. Your suggestion would make it impossible for players outside Europe, North Africa or US East Coast to use the chainsaw they paid for.
Also, experience has shown me that graphic lag has a greater impact on chainsaw fights than net lag. A minimum framerate would make much more sense than maximum ping.
Oh! I don't want to fight you, Jorah the Andal. What do I have to gain? If I win, I'm the shit who killed an old man. If I lose, I'm the shit who was killed by an old man.

That's rarely the case, at least in my experience.

I'm afraid that high pingers are always bad news when it comes to a chainsaw fight. Also, like Mia said, some players minimize their frame rate and thus that also makes an impact on chainsaw use. Nothing that can be done about that.

Its affected by FPS more than Ping, very low is good and very high is better. You choose

Btw, you had no idea how annoying it was trying to chainsaw gablo or f0rest back in lagshoot :D

MY FPS are good, around 40, but still can't engage them. My teammates have 60 FPS fix (have a good hardware) and still can't catch them

Mark, you lack in skills.
Chainsaw will not be removed (I hope).

If your opponent is a lagger he will experience the same what you do, he may see the players keep teleporting and pausing I don't know much but that heppened to me.
I dueled Friauf and i was lagging a bit so i saw him teleporting (2014).

I agree on what Mia said.

Chainsaw ftw.

Edit : Actually, chainsaw is really helpful for laggers since they don't experience our view more than us, but I can trap anyone in my chainsaw even if his ping is (infinite).
So it is not necessary to remove chainsaw or limit the pings, because some people can't play then (not mentioning names/countries).

Since 2010.
• Reason for the report (Go into more detail about what they did):I killed ahmed and he tried to accuse me for killing him

Well will quote from samp forum about chainsaw and lag
"This isn't a bug . It's Chainsaw Sync filterscript. Which means , they can hit you with their chainsaw, even if in your screen they aren't even hitting you , but they hit you in their screen. It's like , synchronization. They will only beable to kill you if they hit you in their screen. It's balanced enough I guess ."

Chainsaw always had being use in ptp for years and never was a problem plus if people complain now in skinshoot then just prove that u never play in lagshoot because that was a really problem - lagshoot with latinos/indians with their 200/500 ping

Going a bit more personal in terms of "chainsaw skills " u probaly still didnt had adapt enough to use chainsaw because me or even others players with pings around 50-170 dont have any problem to chainsaw people with 200-500 ping

We're not going to limit the usage of chainsaws, it's part of the package they paid for and we won't just take it away from half the server.
