possible solution to lag and deschyronization
Posted: 13 Apr 2017, 12:58
Hi.
My friend and I have been playing skirmish COH together for about seven years now.
We recently discovered bkmod and fell in love.
A problem we have now though is that our games desychronize after about ten minutes. What I see is completely different to what he sees. (I should mention we both play using wine - I'm on Linux, he's on a Mac).
This used to happen sometimes without bkmod, but now it happens all the time.
We also used (pre bkmod) to have command lag problems at times, too; it would take minutes, sometimes ten or even fifteen minutes, for a command to occur (because that player was that far "behind").
We are now trying to experiment with LAN play, to see if this can fix these problems.
We have installed the original game, pre-steam, and installed bkmod on that install.
We have set up a VPN, so we're on the same local network.
We can now set up a "local multiplayer" game (by starting a skirmish match).
The problem we have now is connecting to the server. We cannot do this through the game UI, because we are not (obviously) showing up in each others "friends" list.
We think though - pretty sure about this - there is a command line option or console command to tell the game to connect to a server.
Problem is, we can't find it or remember it.
Does anyone here know this command?
